Gorge Du Tarn April 2008

2008-05-26T18:52:00.003Z

Couple of pics from the Gorge Du Tarn last April. The roads are so tight so speed isn't an issue but the road out of the Gorge is some of the best riding I have ever seen

April Trip to France

2008-02-12T13:21:00.001Z

Following on from last years trip to Bikers Lot. I will be doing the same again this year with a four day trip taking in the 24 hr Le Mans bike race as well.

Plans are sketchy at the moment but the plan is to travel down the Gourge du Tarn this year as well as a few mountains and volcanos in the area.

Trip ended up being 10 days and took in Rouanne, Paris, Troyes, Figac, Gorge du Tarn, Cahours, Limmoges and then back to St Malo.

The weather was "changable" with rain, sleet, fog & some sun !!

The Lott valley was spectacular and if you have never been it is well worth a visit with great roads, stunning villages and towns and masses of history

Well the R1 has gone

This week see's the R1 moving onto pastures new which is a shame but since gettin the Tiger, the wheels never turned!

I will miss the power, speed, brakes, and style but I dont miss the numb arse, broken wrists, bad shoulder and passing moments of sheer terror.

A fantastic bike and to my mind the best of the 1000 superbikes overall but I guess I'm getting too old !!

New Bike in the Garage

2007-07-25T21:54:00.000Z

Thought about gettin a little runaround for the island and ended up with this thing. Great bike and loads of fun and more in keeping now I'm gettin on a bit !

My R1

2007-06-07T17:28:00.000Z

Bought it in March as I thought it would be more suitable for touring (I know but stay with me) Bigger engine that my old 750 therefore more grunt and easier to ride without thrashing it !.

Well thats my excuse.

France Trip in May

2007-06-07T16:59:00.000Z

What started out as a bike trip to Le Mans to see the GP - turned into a week long tour and no GP!

Staying overnight a Route 66 heading down south we finally arrived at the fantastic Bikers Lot staying with Pete & Chris Roots.

I have to say, its one of the best holidays I have ever been on, the hospitality, the views and most of all the riding were fantastic.

If your planning a trip you must stay at Bikers Lot. Not only is it a stunning location, Pete hands out free riding lessons (you try to keep with him on the twisty stuff.

One word of warning, his wife Chris has to be the fastest granny I have ever met
