Title: My yearly adventure
Post by: Kall1400 on February 16, 2014, 02:49:56 PM
This years adventure for myself and my GTR sees us leave the end of August and head for the south of France, Pyrenees, Monaco, top of Italy, into switzland and on through Germany.

All though i have done a roughly planned route like this 3 times now. Every time is a new adventure and new roads are located...

Before then however, there is Scotland in April for a few days, and south... When it drys up a bit.  (heart goes out to you guys down there at the min)

Plus there will be the normal weekends and days out....

Just cant keep me off my bike.....

Kall, you're a lucky  :censored:  being able to go overseas on the bike, our lass wont let me do owt like that.  :no:

Scotland is the furthest I've been, although I do go quite often.

When you get a chance, feel free to stick a photo or two of the GTR on the forum.

Have fun Kall. If you can, take the D8N from Aubagne (near Marseille) to Toulon.
Stop at the Paul Ricard Circuit for a snack at the High Speed Club.
The road is a hoot especially from Cuges les Pins to Le Beausset with some superb views after the circuit.
If a local biker comes up behind you, let them go.
You will not stay with them except maybe on the big straights.
On a Sunny Sunday the Club can have over 1000 bikes turn out.
