September 13, 201311 yr Author So as i head north to meet up , torrential rain hit me. i sat in a bus shelter in a village most of afternoon. took a hotel as was frozen &wet.. tues Andrew phones no front tube till night,[19inch tube] So i thot fk it am heading north. missing Paris, i visited towns along the Western Front WW1, Soissone & campgnain , to see the graves . it was emotional to see them..worth the trip. then headed home via tunnel . 1,815 miles on a 2stroke.. in 6 days. What a sight.
September 13, 201311 yr Moderator wow, that was eventful. I think bike trips always are and enriches the soul too those cemeteries are certainly emotional and make you realise the sacrifices ordinary men and women make for us. As scouts we did the Menin gate last post ceremony and I was crying my eyes out as were the other leaders. One woman collapsed with emotion.
September 15, 201311 yr 300 miles a day for 6 days on a 2t that defeniatly get's you a IRON BUTT award,are you still vibrating?need any filling's tightened up LOL Riding with a group is always fun but,going it solo is more fun IMO you can run on your own adjenda and if you feel like doing something different ya just do it. Looks like you had a great time ,abit rushed I would want to see more,and for me to go that far I would.Suppose though nothing from stoping you from doing it again next year and for that I am truely jellous.

September 17, 201311 yr Great pictures John. Glad you got some miles in - top stuff to see a classic 2T doing that, you'd embarass some of the riders round here who think a 50 mile round trip to Weston-super-Mud, on their BMW mega-tourer is a big deal.
