Le Trip - France, Andorra and Spain - A long read and photos

it really was brill.. good roads good company and lots of riding.. and.. I do it all again in 2 weeks with Matt SV , Anita and Mand.. ace.

Reccommend it to all.. but France is expensive £6 a pint ! .. and Toll road charges are a crippler when covering ground fast.

my first time riding abroad.. was scared to bits but within 20 mins of the boys protecting me in the middle I was loving it.

thanks Viper and Fizz - was fun.


will put my pics up later without words in another thread .. just comments.

Anywhere in europe now is raping us for drinks, i paid 7 euros 3 years ago in menorca for a cider

Wow only just got round to reading this, absolutely fantastic writeup Fizz! Really enjoyed reading it and hearing about your antics, you have inspired me (even more) to pass my test and go riding abroad, I can't think of anything better. Really glad you're all back in one piece too, what an achievement Hugs xx

Do you lads reckon 800 euros will cover 8 days of food/drink/bike drink?

Great write up Fizz !!

Glad the 3 of you had a great time - me jealous ? NEVER I tell you !!

Of all the pics you took - & there are some great ones there - my favourite has to be the one of Quiff reorganising the shelving layout (sorry mate - but it did make me chuckle)

yeah, 100 euros a day will get you by, more is better though.

Hi Lads,
I have no right to be a member of this forum, but I remembered that you lot were members of the SV650 forum so I joined. I'm Steve, the slightly fat prat on the copy of the Honda 90 you are kind about in your thread - and I got back to blighty safely. It is true - you can tour on anything!
Steve

Steve you legend !!

welcome

so did you make it?

did you pick up the fiver and the pint ?

when can we ride over and have a pint with you?

oh and did you get home ok or did your car break down??

Its not 4* accomodation but its rather nice sat in the sun by the side of the road, eating our rolls which are delicious just watching the world go by. This is what I wanted to get from the trip, to get off the beaten track and explore.

that's what it's all about, and is exactly what i got from it, sitting at the side of the road just embracing where you are, what you've done, and where you've come from!!

Epic trip, well done ad glad you're home safe

Check out the vids of my trip to Spain with 2 friends in July
