We travelled far and wide by motorbike. We still have one but my disabilities mean it’s no longer an option for me. So many happy memories, enjoy yourselves 😎

We used to go camping on the motorbike, went through snow in mountain passes and drove right down to Spain chasing the warm weather. Wonderful way to travel but I'd be looking at hotels instead of a tiny tent these days. Have a fab time.

Enjoy. We live in the beautiful Correze. Sadly drought is taking its toll in areas of France. The grass is dry and trees have been shedding their leaves to conserve transpiration water loss. Hopefully rain will come soon.

Go to Spain. It seems to be a top pace for Motorcyclists. You cant move fir them!

We have been on many motorbike holidays. Home and abroad. We were biking well into 70's.
Top tip. Take old clothes, ones that you would normally put into the rag bag. Throw them away once worn so you have space in the panniers for souvenirs.
Don't double up on roll-on, toothpaste, soap etc. One between two is just as good.
Take pages from the road map, rather than the whole book.
Have a wonderful time.
