The Millau bridge is awesome. We went down there a few years ago, spent a few days in some of the small towns in the Tarn Gorge which have some AWESOME roads on them.

Great pics though!

Looks like it was sorted for you BS, good weather, fine food and the Yamaha Mechanics working your bike.....did you take the FJR? I assume you did as you have your bike gear on.

The MotoGP bikes are awesome, what noise!

:eek: I'm shocked Alan and there I was thinking you were one of those hard core bikers and that you rode all the way from your house to Le Man all the way, so you kinda cheated then.... :hand: lol

Superb photies boss, have always wanted to see Omaha etc for real, a kind of respect thing (& the Millau Viaduct, WOW!!).

Rosyth to Zeebrugge eh, must look into that one, wonder how much a return would be with the MINI(s) ??
