I met up with three of the usual suspects this morning at 10 & we headed out into our habitual playground of the Morvan regional parc. No pics I'm afraid cos I was having too much fun & I wasn't leading. It also all went a bit quick for pics as the other three all ride FJR1300,s & as I didn't get time to sabotage their bikes beforehand I was a bit pushed to keep up...
I have developed a technique which I managed to scare the shit out of one of them with, it involves getting right up close behind him in the tight bits, sitting in his blind spot & doing a sort of kamikaze "slingshot" manouvre round the outside of him coming out of a corner , he didn't appreciate being overtaken round the outside by a 23yr old 600 Transalp and I don't suppose he'll let it happen again but hey, he's gonna take a while to live it down...:devil:
one of our fave roads we actually managed to do twice by navigating a bit of a figure 8 route, & the 2nd time, it being the first really sunny week end of the season, there were bikes bloody everywhere & it wasn't long before they started falling over/ off / into the ditches etc. I think we saw a couple of smashed bikes & I stopped to check on a bloke who was in the ditch with, i think, a broken leg, probably concussion & a very very mangled bike He was conscious, being well looked after by his mates & a car driver wh'd seen him come off & the ambulance was on its way so we left them to it & moved on.oo:
We did around 300k between Auxerre, Clamecy, Chateau chinon, Planchez, les Settons, Autun, Chateau Chinon (again), planchez (again), Dun les places, Quarré les Tombes, Vezelay, Chatel Censoir et Auxerre.
