I just thought I'd post a few pics of my summer hols.We got the ferry from Poole and rode down through France Andorra and Spain to stay with my Mum for a few days

Me and my Busa by the sea at Playa Flamenca,Spain.

Finally.Back at St Malo,shattered and waiting for the ferry home.

It was a fantastic trip and I have to say,the Busa was epic.The only problem I had was a puncture in the rear tyre,which couldn't be repaired as I'd had slime put in before I left.So,4 hours later after recovery and being relieved of 150 euros for a new Michelin(They didn't do Avons),we were on our way again.

Still we got back in one piece,had an awesome time,and I'll be doing it again.

Hello mate.Yes we dropped in to say hi.....I hadn't relised you'd left though.Chatted to the couple running the bar,they seemed very pleasant and it sounded like he was a biker too.

A pic of my mate and his Zephyr.Recognise the place in the background?

Great pics at this "dark" time of the year....

Thanks..:yo:

It is good to look back at good weather on these dark days.

I recognise a few of those views myself! The wife and me did the same trip in June 2009. (I'm in Corfe Mullen by the way.) Did a little write-up of it at http://www.zen156731.zen.co.uk/ride/...yrenees09.html. Same, as you, we had an excellent holiday. Planning on going to the Dolomites for 2010.

We probably passed you at some point,as we came back at the beginning of June.The weather was fantastic wasn't it?
I'll have to keep an eye out for you.I only live on Canford Heath and I'm up at Towers Way in Corfe Mullen a fair bit as I have friends who live there.The Busa's gone,I'm on a black S reg Bird,or driving a silver T reg Ford Cougar.

I fancied going again this year,but have found out I'm being made redundant,so plans are on hold for a while.

Well,ferry tickets bought and me and my mate are doing it all again in August this year.This time leaving from Poole to Cherbourg,so only a 2 1/2 hour crossing.

I can't wait.As I said,tickets bought,but no other money together yet brok3,so got to get saving....Oh,and as I managed to buy my old Busa back,I'll be doing it again on that.
