With an interest in World War 2, I thought it would be poignant to remember that tomorrow marks the 67th anniversary of D Day. In 1944, allied troops landed on the Normandy beaches.

There was a hell of a lot killed down here at Slapton Sands, just practising for the D-day invasions, what between U-boats, Royal Navy, and Artillery, kept very hush hush under the 50 year secrets act, big monument now for those who did die mind. Very sad.

I've thought about that before but a group of bikes rolling up in a cloud of 2 smoke just doesent seem right. Or do i have altogether too much respect for the folks that are rememberd there.

I was disappointed how commercial it was to be honest. The second from last picture is the American cemetery, it is huge and the last picture is a British cemetery tucked away on it's own.

That one's done by the French, isn't it?

Not at all - You want to go there, you get there however you are able.

The fact that even a bunch of dirty, greasy, granny-bashing, child-eating bikers can make the effort to travel all the way just to pay their respects will still be appreciated just as much!!
