Euro tour

[gtb1102]

Just back from 1600 miles tour round France, Belgium, Luxembourg & Switzerland & despite torrential rain most days, 2 bikes (not CR's) ending up in ditches, a full on blizzard coming over mountains from lake geneva back into France & my rear tyre picking up a screw (quickly & cheaply fixed by Kawasaki dealer in Villeneuve - sous - Pymont) the CR never missed a beat was as comfortable as I could ask for, Honda luggage never leaked a drop despite conditions, I'm a very happy boy & look forward to many more happy miles on the Crossrunner

Nice tour.
Thanks GTB
Snowing in the second picture?

Yes snow!! but that was taken 20 minutes after we'd come through the blizzard in a place called Les Charbonnieres in Switzerland, hopefully the pictures taken during the worst of the snow & by another rider will be be with me soon & I can publish here for you too see

One of those "what the **** am I doing here" moments you sometimes get on a tour Gary..very character building. Me and my mates missed the actual snow in French/Swiss Alps this time last year but many of the passes were  still closed due to drifts. Many still think its not a good bet to do this area before june.
I picked up news about John's litle mishap on the GSX1250 forum..glad he is OK.

Some more piccys taken in a town square somewhere in Belgium...you can tell this is before my little off as I still have a right hand mirror and sans bloody big dint in expensive Yoshimura pipe!!

Think there's something wrong with your camera mate, it's made my blond hair look white & as if I'm in my 50's!!!

Must have been all that rain..washed out that expensive tints boys..but the spray on tan looks great Gary.
