Back safe and sound. As usual it rained in the UK, but we did have a bit in France yesterday to be fair.

Great trip!

Back safe and sound, (and back at work), Love the Abby road pic above, how good is that (brill photographer, me).
Another event full few days with lots of laughs. Just need to sort out all the smelly washing and clean the bike

No damage thankfully as Richard thew himself under the back of the bike!

Big Brave Mr Graham to the Rescue

Was it International Rescue, and Thunderbirds are Go?

From what I can remember Clive was first on the scene, other than Richard under the pannier, quickly followed by the Welsh International Rescue in the form of Rees from the BMW club (northern Section).

Lesson to be learned, never point a 1200GS downwards!

Okies - the Verdun Video has arrived at last. Not very exciting I'm afraid, but the next one for Germany should be much better.
