I know you've all been waiting with baited breath for my return and here I am
The Superior Bronze Falco preformed impeccably All the way down to the Pyrenees, up to Millau, across to Nice and up Napoleans Route, or was that the Route de Napoleon ? In 3000 miles the bike never missed a beat in temps ranging up to 36 degs Although the rider did wilt on occasion.
A quick check this afternoon reveals a slightly lower oil level and a plethora of dead bugs
The Avon Storms also preformed well in a variety of conditions; hot and dry, dry and hot, and dry and extremely warm

Pre trip


In the Pyrenees somewhere

Welcome home, well maybe not exactly home.

Looks good in then thar hills and I imagine the Falco would have been just the tool ?

Welcome back FK, must have been awesome on some of those roads.

awsesome pics fk, what are the other two bikes.

Right - I've really got to do this for myself - You chaps that come back with your stunning pictures and tales of adventure make me SO jealous.

Good to have you back Kiwi !

Other bikes were a Suzuki SV 1000 and a Triumph ST 1050.
naturally the Falco lead the way.
Some fantastic roads in the Pyrenees, even a bit of peg grinding action
Spanish fuel was 1.04 euro a litre too
I have some video I'll try and post later.

Bet the view crossing the bridge was stunning, looks like some really good roads were travelled (jammy git )

Here's a snippet of footage taken on the Gorges of Verdon road in southern France.

Very nice n excellent onboard footage!

Thought you werent gonna make the last sharp bend...

Great footage

Last time we did the Pyrenees it was raining, I don't know if it was wash down from the mountains or diesel or what but it was incredibly slippery in places, so much so that on one corner we both slid onto the wrong side of the road into the path of an on coming truck! Good job it was only crawling along and we were carefully tip toeing around as well. Looks like you had much more fun going through them.

Looks good mate - and brings back my own trip.

It's not fair though - every time I crossed a white line there was a hoard of Gendarmes on the spot!!

Great filming FK you must have had a great time.
