So... I thought I'd share some pics of our France trip on bikes a few weeks back... but it seems I'm not the only one!! Not many pretty scenery pics but a few nice bike pics. Was a great trip, got the R6 properly going at last, am now fond of hitting the rev limiter ;) and quite like going round roundabouts the wrong way!!
There were most of us on sportsbikes, and 'big daddy' bike - the BMW, who had the tom tom and led us around tiny little roads, some great, some bizarre backroutes with grass growing on the road and mud!! Then we all overtook when we got back on the main roads!
Got the ferry from Poole to St Malo and stayed near Rennes. Lots of day trips out to surrounding areas. Hope the photobucket links work...
leaving from Poole harbour. My lovely black toy...

So, great trip, would definitely recommend that area of France as a biking destination. Mind the cops though - we got caught!!! Wrongly of course - we were at the legal limit officer :p
