Thanks for the welcome guys.
Was just looking for some opinions as I have been known to throw a couple of curveball decisions in the past 
It reassuring that I'm not a million miles of base here as I am being cautious with this.
My plan is to do 3-4 days advanced training with about 500 miles practice. Followed by a tour with world of BMW as their luxury tours are fantastic the "Vive la France" one take in vineyards and casinos along with about 2000 miles of touring on one of their bikes. That should get me right back into the swing of things and a good holiday to boot, not in rush waited thus long. Will read all I can over the coming months and take one for a test ride.
