Me and two other bikes did ten days in may, started with the motogp at le mans 3 days stayed above a Chinese, took 3 days to get rid of the smell of food, ! Then down to vichy on some lovely french b roads, one night there , then to italy stayed in a bb on a farm fantastic fresh food, home made wine , a couple of alpine passes including the San bernardino , in to switsland for one night , then back to Italy for two nights stayed in a great bb there with the grandma doing all the cooking then back up through Luxembourg Belgium to calais. Best ten days I've had, all in fuel accommodation food etc £800, best roads in france people always very curtious. On the last day of le mans all the local residents come out to watch the bikes with there kids , must be a tradition there.2500 miles in total, and amazingly never got wet .
