Don't forget the suncream, oops too late for some! 

[Dannyboy]

All arrived safe and sound. 26° and fantastic roads. Josselin and part of the east coast already visited.

Back from Brittany in 2013.
I am well back from Britanny meeting.
In the morning I went out from the Motorterrain at 5:35 PM
Arrived at my garage at 5:25 AM.
Between 1200 km, 3 fuel stop, breakfast and lunch.

It was a nice get-together with many nice motorcyclists.
Thanks to all who organized and helped the meeting.

Thanks also to Lesley and Ken.

All those who are still on the road, I wish a safe journey home.

I'm home too. A week after the Northern Crew arrived at my home.

 

Brilliant Tour. DaveM had a Puncture, Danny Dropped my Whitey, then his helmet

 

Apart from that Perfect. Thank you to everyone involved. Good friends all round

 

For me

 

What went right:

Explorer 1200. The perfect bike for touring and throwing about

 

What went wrong

Interphone F5 

So much trouble pairing 5 riders, would do 3 or 2, maybe 5. Changed every day

Bloody annoying

Errr, nope, nothing else

 

Thank again

No probs glad I was able to help!

Sounds like you had a great time. How come no pics of the drop-age?

[catsbum]

Some things you dont photo. to be fair it was a serious moment. Just heard man off over the coms. We ran

 

Will upload pics when I am sorted out. This really is one of the best tours. I think even Limbo had a good time!

Danny Dropped Whitey

What went wrong
Interphone F5

I know I shouldn't but  

[leehenty]

Hope Danny was ok, no one hurt ? other than his pride.

[JollyGiant]

No I don't mean the actual moment with him lying underneath it, I'm not that much of an 'A' hole. I meant the damage and pee taking afterwards as there was nowt on fb!

Go get a hot drink. Danny loves this bike, why be morbid?

[chrisr]

Another great tour, this one gets to be more fun each year! I think Frank might have got it
by the time we were on our way home! Hope all you long distance guys get home safe tonight
(or tomorrow, Paul) Nice to meet new and old friends. Goodnight Danny, sleep well!

Yes for sure! 
 I had a lovely arrival with visits to the monuments of the D-Day.
Have a nice day tour with you in the sunshine.
One day little tour with you in the rain.
Three cozy evenings eating and chatting with you.
A long day with a long run home.
The ride back home was nice, but it was very cold.
I switched on thick gloves and put on a sweater at the first fuel stop by Caen.

 

The whole tour the bike and the GPS navigation system ran very well.

Thanks again to my Pony Express rider.

Excellent Trip,

 

Thanks to Cats for setting this up and particular thanks to all who helped with my puncture and to Ken, our host, who ran me up to the local bike shop for a new tyre.

 

Had a good run up to Cherwell Valley with BD, Manx900 and Dannyboy when we all split to make our own way northwards. Got a bit messy after that with horrible weather and roadworks around Brum but home safe and sound (tired and cold) by 11.30pm.

 

Cheers

Dave

[big dave]

Arrived home safely about 11.10pm after uneventful trip up M1.

 

A great time was had, it had all the ingredients required...... biking, great locations, good weather, beer, wine (red and white), great hosts, cake and a large portion of piss taking. Whats not to like ?

 

ps no problems with the F5s of myself and Dannyboy

 

BD

[Dannyboy]

Got back safe and sound despite Birmingham weather and road works ("What's he saying"). Had a great trip despite trying to ride whitey with a disk lock still fitted on a gravel car park   BD, Cats and Manx900 saved my bacon and refrained from any serious rib tickling. (fookin rookie mistake) No damage apart from pride.  Only complaint was Chrisr and his constant snoring. For goodness sake if I can control myself why can't he? . Cats was a star and really looked after us at Chateau Carrol . Great to see Chris G at the Chinese restaurant. It only took me 3 days to digest and return that meal. Frank now needs counselling (blokes a liability, cant take him any where with out inappropriate remarks). Need a serious detox after all those free drinks at Mototaranis. Hosts were complete stars. Loved this trip in a big way.  F5s Rocks.

There's two types of biker Danny, those who've tried to ride off with a disklock fitted, and those who havent done it yet.

I did it right outside Heine Gericke
