January
This year I didn't get out for a 1st ride until
quite late in the Month do largely
to the road conditions and the fact we spent a week snowed in here at Le
Theil...
My 1st ride then was to Peyrat Le Chateau on the D940 to deliver Chocolate
to the Belarive Hotel...
February was a white out ;) did one ride but so cold my camera didn't work...
March towards the end I managed to get out...
Panoramic view point on the D16
And another Sunny day at 17 degrees I took the Rocket to blow off the cobwebs...
April and Easter Monday saw the weather break...

1st unexpected stop
Look at the angle of the bars and the alignment of the front wheel - Ouch!

Another unexpected stop and some adjustment to to a very nice Orange K100
Rider suffered bruising to right arm but otherwise okay.
The perfect stop for a drink "Argentat Quay"
Still April and spend a day riding with Martyn from www.marjactours.co.uk

Hard to believe these Bikes all the way from Cork are 20 and 21 years old
respectively...

Not every GSer makes it out under their own steam...
May into June
6 Triumph Rockets an FJR and a Moto Guzzi in 1 garage...
Final Drive Bearings raise their head again...
Still June and Still raining - Still riding too...
Salers before Puy Mary and the Pass de Payoll - Probably the best
lunch stop ever!
And now for some rare footage, pictures of Me and Wendy on a bike - Thanx to Allen and Jane ;)
As June drew to an end the weather
became truly tropical
And we were visited by a group of Black Rats...
After June came July and the tropical weather grew more tropical...
