2 Weeks in Europe

Hi all
Just got back from 2 weeks riding in Spain and France on board the ST3S 2 up with a full luggage load it was awesome.Portsmouth to Santander ,5 days in the Picos de Europa and 5 days travelling back through France.Pau,Millau and the Millau bridge,which is just breathtaking,Poitiers,Saint Malo and Caen to Portsmouth.Nearly 1600 miles and the Duc was faultless and a joy to ride though at nearly 60yrs old a little knackering!!Roll on next year though when we'll be over there again somewhere

Hi Duckman
Yea we have loads of photos taken during the trip so when I've got a moment I'll see if I can post them on here.My missus was holding the camera on video mode going over the Millau Bridge but unfortunately she kept her finger on the button so it was turning on and off during the crossing! I've managed to stitch it together so at least we have about 1.30minutes .Can we put a video on here? As we got to the pay kiosk (4 Euros) one of the bikes traveling with us broke a clutch cable which sort of messed things up as we might have gone back over for another run! After much debating about what we were going to do,he wouldn't ride it without a clutch, I ended up riding his Triumph ST to a town called Rodez about 60 miles away and I think it must have been divine intervention as I got into the town I came apon an Aprilla,Moto Guzzi dealer who saved the day ,made a cable up in no time ,14.5euros including labour,and we were on our way again.Brilliant!
