Greetings from Hampshire UK

[Stephane 30]

Hi to all off you.
My name is Stephane (old bloke with a white beard) and I live in East Hampshire UK. Although I'm not a petrol head I love motorcycling. I ride a 2015 Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200. My main interest is touring, mostly in the UK or Germany (that's where I'm originally from). With a right bike buddy I would love to explore further afield.

I'm also a member of IAM Roadsmart Solent.
I have two kids. The older has been pillion on various Germany trips. My younger one gets on the bike with me as well but not more than an hour - she doesn't like sitting still for too long.

I have been using a TomTom Rider 500 for many years but steering more towards my phone these days as it is more practical and easy to use. Can't remember how I heard of MRA but after using it for a few month I'm now a gold member. I absolutely love the combo of satnav on the bike and tour prep on the PC without actively needing to sync - it just works.
I hope I can contribute with experience and suggestions to make it an even better app.

@grantmac That's very kind. I would appreciate that - always happy for new tours. Who knows, we may meet one day. I'll add you.

Hi Stephane, I have also added you to my friends listing but I don't seem to be able to message you directly. I have asked the forum for help but meantime feel free to drop me an email to below email and I can share some more info on some route ideas I have which might be of use.
