Found myself "clinching" as you shared the lane with some of those cages!!

Us Yanks have Hwy 1 which is similar...pavement might be a little better. Problem with both these roads is traffic :wallbash:

You will find that the fixed vidcam (mounted on the tank) gives a different perspective to the actual ride - on the bike you can look ahead around the corners (LH) that the cam does not allow for :D We have a bullet cam, but sadly not compatible with the vid cam... :weeping:

Traffic not a problem out of season - had some guys down recently, from San Fransisco, who were blown away by the roads, and lack of traffic :D
And she rides an SV650, have asked her to touch base when they get back so we can see if we have any mutual friends :D
They hired beemers in Toulouse, and wanted to do the Pyrenees :D Were going to stay with is one night, stayed 2, and then we sent them across to stay with some peeps that we know not far from Biarritz, in a place called Issore, so they were doing the Spanish ride to them, and then the French ride back to Toulouse, I think they were going to enjoy themselves :D
