Not me. We'll have to wing it or carefully study old 'Allo 'Allo videos.
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

John Stenhouse

There are some advantages from having gone to Le Mans for twenty years.

BTW, does anybody speak Franglais?  :m

If "Bonjour I want a strong milky tea with sugar and if that cream cake doesn't have any nuts in it I'll have une merci" counts then Stenhouse is your man  :icon_lol:
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Im just back from a jaunt around Ireland, one thing stood out was the roads, very few pothole but very, very bumpy at times  :bug_eye had some air time a few times! Some fantastic twisties though, other than that, more costly than Geordieland and I have never seen so many padlocked farmers fields  :icon_scratch:, overall a very good trip.

I might be up for the September thing.

But, going back to 2018, having just driven through the Picos de Europa, there are some fantastic roads with corresponding fantastic views to be had. Would require a full week though to make it worthwhile.

The padlocked fields are to stop lampers, around here they usually drag a telegraph pole or similar across the entrance.
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.
