Just how long / big is that bridge ?

Nice choice of sound track Ant.  Rural France is so big beautiful and empty your video just makes the pair of us (Cheryl) want to get over the water asap.  Roll on July when we have both managed to get annual leave  on the same days for a change  :yes:

Thought about heading back down to an old favourite....................

Cheryl in good company..............

It took us nearly 2 mins to go across at a steady 50 mph, i think i was doing that as you still get a view.

The Gorge du Verdon is the road to do.......awesome.......plenty of vids on the tube of that.

That's an awful lot to cram into 9 days  :punk:

Brilliant (brill ant geddit  :oops:) video and choice of music, it's been ages since I heard that  :clap:

Just what sort of weather/temperatures did you experience down south please ?

Geddit..... :mfr_lol:

It was in the 20 s down there for the 2 days in Nice, just hit it lucky i think....but felt a lot warmer when the sun was out, very relaxing.
We only spent 7 and half days on the bike.

It was a scout trip to see where we would like to go back to.

When set up right for rider and pillion, the GTR is very comfortable and very more-ish :sweet:

Ive put the Gorge du Verdon on my youtube channel now ( Lozzylobbs ), its quite long, with a cheap, slightly tilted, camera on the rear of the bike too.... :angry:  along with the gopro        but have speeded it up so anyone wishing to do that road ( D71 ) can see what to expect............

as been said before, a must do area.......and I shall go back soon on my own to ' ride it '... :yes:
