On board Eurotrip - France 2019

Post by Frankie »

I was planning to put the camera on the bike for the trip out without the bags, we when headed further south for the day. Weather messed that up as it was hammering down for most of it . So instead this is us, Cookie has left to head home by now, heading back towards the port, a little bit of France, albeit in fast forward on a lot of it lol.
Sorry it is a little long, cold have been more but the battery died, well before the card ran out of space....

Nice video mate. Some lovely roads, some very straight roads, and a lot of roads...

It's amazing how much of a battering the front suspension is taking on some of this roads. I guess I don't normally get to see that kind of view and take the suspension a bit for granted.

Ace - nice vid!

Your weather improved as mine deteriorated that day.

Did you see your old bike in their, Cookie? There can’t be that many registered in France.

Our weather improved, got hot and then went downhill as we got closer to Caen. I looked at our route when we got back. We were mighty close to Paris. Right on the edge of Versailles.

And I could have done it all again this week. Riding in Europe is so much better than here.

There were some white ones.. Not enough detail to see if any were mine.

The distance we covered that day there was no way you could make it short and still show the diversity of roads and the beauty of the scenery.
