	My wife and I plan to tour Europe next year by motorcycle. Neither
one of us has ever been to Europe. We are BMW enthusiasts and would like to
rent a BMW in Germany and take off from there for about 4 weeks. Has anyone
out there ever done touring through Europe? How about solo ie; not in an
organized motorcycle tour such as Beach's or Von Thielmann or Motoraad
Reisen. Where do you find out about where to rent BMW's ? 
	If you're one of these people who has done this before, do you have
any suggestions for someone new to the european touring scene? Will I be
ostracized for not wearing full length leathers? Are there any countries to
absolutely avoid? What must I do about special driving licenses and
insurance? Anything else you might want to pass on like when the best time
of year to do this tour might be?
	Thanks for any and all responses.
