Moderator DirtyDT Posted February 10, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2014 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.

Moderator DirtyDT Posted February 10, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2014 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!

Moderator DirtyDT Posted February 11, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2014 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
