i hada Monster years ago when they first came out and i went to hockenheim on it to see foggy in a WSB race, and managed that ok.                                                                                                                                                                             

hey mick this is for beginners and no one gets left behind ,im on a xjr1300 and had no problems last year ive seen enough motorway services at 100 mph and this trip isn't one of them                                                                                                                                                                             

you will enjoy it lovley steady can see country side as you go by lovley peeps to go with                                                                                                                                                                             

Had a great time last year. This is an ideal chance for anyone wanting to ride in France for the first time a steady non motorway trip with a great  bunch of bikers.                                                                                                                                                                              

Come and join us Mick, you'll enjoy yourself and to show how friendly we are we'll even let you get the first round in. One or two ladies would be welcome, Not because we are a bunch of dirty old men (well Nick is), but so Carol doesn't have to be in a room on her own.                                                                                                                                                                             

I wouldn't mind doing this one. I am on the Dent long weekend trip and back on the 6th. It will be a bit pushed to do both. However I have not ruled it out, so I need to think about this one 

                                                                                                                                                                             

You know you want to David, a nice lazy ride though France with good roads, good company and drop for beer or two at the end of each day. What more could you ask for?                                                                                                                                                                             

it should be all summer long this                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm thinking about it

                                                                                                                                                                             

Cheryl keep thinking about it until you decide to join us.                                                                                                                                                                                

It was great last year.  Really looking forward to it, even better if you came too Cheryl                                                                                                                                                                             

Cheryl,You know you want to go, we won't let you get lost on you own (if we get lost, we get lost has a group) and I promise that I won't let Stutts play a joke on you like he did to Carol last year. You already know Stutts, Carol and myself and Martin and Ivan were at Kiss last year, so you may have met and spoken to them then. So come along and have some fun.                                                                                                                                                                              

hey the joke was played by all of us how come I get the blame,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,or was it my idea /?????to all those thinking about it ...we don't ride fast ,were never in a rush, if you want to stop and look around we can do that too..                                                                                                                                                                             

And Carol had to do a fair bit of looking around after you made us all hide from her.                                                                                                                                                                             

and me with indigestion!                                                                                                                                                                             

.                                                                                                                                                                             

Well said Norman mate, it had to be said and I couldn't had said it any better myself.
