1er June 2003
Small week of strolls in the Pyrenees. Departure last Monday in the rain and the cold (12°!). We stopped in Pau to buy sticking Damart! (moreover, I advise it to you, it is excellent against the cold with motor bike, even if it is not too practical to remove when the weather recovers to be hot in the course of the day). The wholesale way: Toulouse, Pau, Laruns, col de Larrau, Ochagavia, St Jean Pied de Port, San Sebastian, Bilbao, Lizarra and return.
To give you some desire, some pictures...

 


1st May 2003
That's it, it's decided, I ride to the NordKapp this summer!!
For the moment, no date specified because subjugated with other projects (construction of a Zome ) but, that should be done after August 15, perhaps at the beginning of September.
When the things are clearer, you will have more infos.
If a small end of road says to you, send me a small e-mail!!


24 January 2003
I just have added a Gest Book, like this, you can let your feelings...


14 Janvier 2003
Last stroll in date, a Géocache in the Bardenas with Sylvain.
Good stroll, a little cold, some falls without gravity in the sludge of the secondary tracks. Normal with road tires and a passenger. You know, when the nose gear wheel decides to go down in a rut and that aft one take another...
But OK, it is what we sought, then ... ;-)

Some pictures:


14 Agust 2002
I got it !!! the Burgman 400 !!!
The last 2 WE, we were already tested. There are some small modifications to do to optimize the life on board, but compared to the 125, it is heaven!!!
In the rises, we do not row any more! And when we are in a hurry, we have a cruising speed not too reasonable... (approx. 150km/h)
Remain to make the fastener of trailer, the fittings for Top-case and satchels plus some adjustments of suspensions (a little too soft) and hop! That's OK!!


17 April 2002
So :o((
For several reasons: the dates of holidays, the job which changes, the exams of Laetitia and Guillaume, Francoise who does not want to lead any more...
this summer, I perhaps will do small strolls all alone or with Francoise during a week or two. But I do not know yet where.
For the bridge of May 8, we will leave 4 days like that in the Alps of Haute Provence. We will leave Nimes towards the east... to the adventure!
As we will be only both, of in love, Francoise and me, we will sleep in guesthouses, it is more comfortable...
I want to change my scoote r!!
The Francoise's Skyliner and my XJ900 are put on sale. When they are sold, I buy a Burgman 400! It has a little more fishing than one 125!!
For the wide-range voyages , it is nevertheless better! Finally, a mountain pass at more than 20 Km/h!! Even with a passenger and the trailer!
