I thought you'd like to see the type of roads I've been playing on for the last days....

Defnitely a new POW(M) though.

I'm officially envious . . . .

I went to university in Spain in the 70's. I'd kill to be able to ride through there again on an R12R. Such a wonderful place. When I was there I met a couple of guys from Ann Arbor, MI riding Norton 850 Comando's through Europe. To this day I can't stop thinking about the 1973 Norton's. lol Well done !!

cheers,

PS I'd love a copy of that 1st picture - with all the switchbacks . . . .

Fantastic photos.

How long did it take you from the Pyrenees to calais?

I'm toying with that very trip myself.

Cheers

Spend time in Britanny on the way down

Great pictures kindled a few memories of my own trip there a few years ago!

I can't help but be envious of your ferry from Bilbao. Ours - from UK to Bilbao - had to contend with a 10 meter swell and high winds

. On its return sailing a wave smashed the wheelhouse window and it had to run for port! Have you ever spent 36 hours on rough seas and then tried to ride a motorcycle? a truly weird experience!

There's also something quite special about the light quality there on a clear day and the fragrances from the wildflowers are heavenly as they seep into your helmet

Those were wonderful photos. I loved the butterflies in your picassa album. Very cool. And those roads...... amazing! Thanks for sharing.
