After this weekend I've decided I don't do tents anymore..........[:)]

Hi Rp,

Look up Sarroca on the map, then look to the left, find a large lake, and the road is the one that runs down the righthand side.

Watch out for gravel on bends though........................................

Here's me on the "pélérinage des motards" in Lourdes a couple of years ago (sorry quality is not great, scanned images prior to going digital).  As you can see, we are very much the poor relations compared to all the biker posters here, though that said we have done a lot of great trips on those bikes (and you should see how much stuff we can carry on them when we go camping!!).

Gary I ride one of these and the only mod was to  put shorter dog bones on it to lift the back end Up 40mm .witch puts a bit more Wight on the front and makes the front more planted and of course it turns better with a slightly steeper head angle .

 

And no I don’t take the track drug any more

Thank you Bugbear and mark232000 appreciated good to know we are close to a track - will be sure to let you know when we are around.  Hopefully we will collect the keys to our place on the 16th Feb so will be spending all the spare time/money we have over there with a plan to be permenantly resident Aug 2008 (no turning back)

Yes, the track is Mas du Clos, and it is on the N141, I think about 11Ks from Aubusson.I did a two day track day last year, and it was fantastic. Did(nt come down to earth for about 3 Months. These days are organised by EYBIS.com, which stands for Enjoy Your Bike In Safety. Over 2 days, you get 12, 20min sessions, with instruction, but in French. Sessions for Beginners, Rookies, and Advanced. I am going to try and do it again this year, money permitting. Do it
