    The Millau bridge is awesome. We went down there a few years ago, spent a few days in some of the small towns in the Tarn Gorge which have some AWESOME roads on them.

    Great pics though!

    Looks like it was sorted for you BS, good weather, fine food and the Yamaha Mechanics working your bike.....did you take the FJR? I assume you did as you have your bike gear on.

    The MotoGP bikes are awesome, what noise!
    SO FAR, SO GOOD, SO WHAT ??

    The race weekend weather was ok, but, we got drenched a couple of times on the road and at the camp site thankfully only suffered that for 2 nights, stopped off in Ibis hotels mostly
    Yes, i took the FJR, Rosyth to Zeebrugge ferry and then blatted about the roads
