Germany then onwards to.... Millau Bridge! I wish! 8-)

Yeah, that's a bit like Norwich via manchester.
The only thing stopping you is you and money probably.

Yup! I have the money but as I'm a Buyer in the 'real world' I now hate spending my own money.... but when its your employer - Not a problem! :

I like spending money.
Not on things i see as waste though. Bikes, gadgets, business investment etc all good
Flowers, expensive holidays, weddings etc I see as pointless throwing away of money. (not a romantic bone ;D )
riding hundreds of miles before crashing out in a £20 hotel is all good, denmark will be nice since i've never been there although it does mean I won't be doing the Germany run on the scoot. 3000 miles in a week or so might be the end of it.

What do you do about the language barrier? Or don't you have one?

A very decent percentage of euroland residents, or at least the retail sector speak better english than most of the people living in England.
In the few cases where they don't I just scrape by or use one of the translators on my iphone where i type in what i want and the phone says it.
Wierd thing is you can be in Germany where most speak english then go over the border to Czech and would have to hunt for someone who understands anything you say. Had a job going out to Prague once or twice a month for 6 months and never found anyone who spoke english.

We're riding to spain over xmas will be our first long run, if all works to plan could be interested in Europe tour

Awesome!

I love riding in that part of europe. You can plan stuff for the following day pretty much sure it won't be raining and there are no travel lodges trying to charge you £80 for a room.
Don't get many jobs down that way, bit too rich for most people. They realise their delivery isn't quite so urgent after all.
