Posted February 10, 201411 yr Hi all, nice forum(s) I'm a Brit living in France. I own a few (small cc) Yammies - both show stuff and riders. Regards Brian
February 10, 201411 yr Author Hi and welcome to forum. What part of France are you living in? Hi and thanks I'm down near Limoges (Limousin) up in the mountains.
February 10, 201411 yr Moderator Very nice! The last time I popped over I stayed near Saintes, a few miles or so to your West. I used to follow the 24 hour endurance so Le Mans and Le Castellet, when they held the races at the Paul Ricard curcuit, were regular trips for me.

I'm doing Le Mans Classic at the beginning of July this year - and myself and a few mates rode Fizzies down to Monaco (from Margate) and rode right past Paul Ricard - those Maritime Alps were tough going on 50ccs.
February 10, 201411 yr Moderator That would have been a tough ride. I rode back from Marseilles to Essex just stopping for fuel and coffee on a GSXR and that was tough. I was walking like John Wayne for a week and only got 99 miles to each tank of fuel so had to stop under an hour each time. I was in hyperspace mode though .

We took it a bit slower We did John O' Groats to Land's End in April 2012 on 50s too - that was a tough ride . . . and SHITE weather!

February 10, 201411 yr Author Are you on FIZZY Splitters forum, We were at Nrthern fs1e run last year, Lance & shag are orgnizers, and Gaz67, I did join - but TBH all the 'politics' left me cold. It all got a bit 'Peoples' Front Of Judea'.

February 11, 201411 yr Moderator The CS5 looks great. There are a lot of 2 stroke classic lovers on this forum. No politics but lots of banter (some of it friendly).
