Default First time in France

This was a trip I was really looking forward to. Only my second euro tour, to a country I've never been to.

After some problems with an r1 we were down to two. Me on the Falco and my mate on a 600rr. As it turned out, we were almost the only ones on "sports" bikes, which to be honest was a surprise.


We've meet up in Perth and headed down to the ferry in Hull, went smooth.



We knew the crossing won't be boring



First camping: Lac d'Annency



First glimpse of the Alps




First Col





July!



Talk about a spot to meet a fellow Falcooner



Next Col

Lovely stuff.

Not my words, but the words of Shakin' Stevens.

Thanks for sharing.
