solstice ride?

Surely riding east to west you XT660's in Europe could manage Turkey to England in a day. Mind you boarder crossings might be a pain. I remember someone in Australia did something like Gold coast to Cameron's Corner in a Solstice day ride.

Mind you my 2nd wife was a Tasmanian, some Tasmanians think going from one end of the island to the other is a major trip. Okay, so I also lived there for a time (time unspecific deliberately - I don't want to loose all credibility).

(you can circumnavigate the island in a day)

Starting from England I reckon I could quite easily visit France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, (back to France) and maybe just make it to the border of Switzerland.

7 countries.

Wouldn't be a bad days ride.
