  1. please please please go to lochcarron and up beelach ne baa...pass of the cattle,you wont be dissapointed going up the uk's highest road...great views of skye at the top..its a road that "has to be done "
  2. sorry...im working,and its only 4 miles from me boohooo
  3. ive been twice to northern france and never done any of them because i never organised it but great pics,ill be adding the points to google earth for the next trip
  4. you sure the tyre is new?could be a worn tyre,incorect inflation,lost balance weight...take it to a garage and just get em 2 check it for you.
  5. that second pic was the col d'aspin...on the way to the col d'tourmalet...elevation at that point was a paultry 1450 mtrs...we did get to over 2200 mtrs at one point it took us 45 minuets to get to that point where i took the picture...we covered approx 10 miles it was that bendy and with quite a few pro cycling teams coming down the hill like silent assassins with their 4 wheeled drive volvo estates trying to keep up with them,our ride up was quite epic
  6. i went to raf odiham when i was 15 lol with the atc...i hung out the back of a chinhook and pissed myself in a puma...oppps
  7. decide what sort of riding you want to do,blast around/more sedate,any half decent suit is also triple stitched too,get a 2 piece for a first suit i would pay no more than £400 that you stated.cow hide is probably only material available to you at that price,but if you see a kangaroo skin one in that price what fits,snap their hands off
  8. Yeah the bandit held up well and never had a blip once from it other than a flat rear tyre in the middle of nowhere in the pyrenness but punture seal helped and a french garage plugged it for me too for 8 euros,then it held up for another 600 miles
  9. ive actually rode past the american cemetry without knowing it was there would have loved to go in...ans st malo has many gun turrets with the shell holes in them...god it must have been terrible
  10. the whole trip cost me around £1200 for the 2 weeks inc food drinks hotels ferrys and fuel...very expensive and you could do it easily for around £900,but its soooo worth it,thats twice ive done it since 2008,and i would happily travel around spain and no where else for the rest of my life if you do need any tips,dont hesitate to invite me
  11. yeah,it was a fantastic trip...i cannot praise spains roads and views,all of them fantastic,i love scotland but its not a patch on spain..no where near as good,at one point we traveled ove 40 mins without seeing a person,never mind a car or bike
  12. Its was FANTASTIC!!!!!!brilliant roads,great views,good driving standards,just brilliant..... spread over 13 days and 2250 miles,with a 4 day break inbetween,i was nearly wiped out by...a 7ft buzzard/deer/2 dogs/herd of cows/4 mules/1 cat and a flock of swallows over the trip...we did major mways to small single rural roads where very little had passed,but highlight was the col du tourmolet where the tour de france goes,where upon reaching the top,we were told it was closed to motorized traffic ,and only pushbikes and walkers were allowed to travel,but with a 190km round trip to do because of it we decided to go down the 5500ft road which was strewn with rocks and debris from a bad winter ,30 mins later and we reached the bottom with obvious bemusement of road workers at the base,who just raised there eyebrows and clapped theres too many good roads,too many good times and i cant wait to go back..heres some pics http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/fazerboy1969/spain%202010/2010spainholiday146.jpg http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/fazerboy1969/spain%202010/2010spainholiday132.jpg http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/fazerboy1969/spain%202010/2010spainholiday109.jpg http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/fazerboy1969/spain%202010/2010spainholiday044.jpg http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae247/fazerboy1969/spain%202010/2010spainholiday023.jpg
