Re: Mad Frenchmen..and Millennials

It's a beautifully shot video and I like the music; which I'd say you're in the minority view on. And not one of them was a Bearded Tit. Bearded Tits being unlikely to have the mechanical nouse to get any further than the next preening perch.

Re: Mad Frenchmen..and Millennials

I agree. i think this is a great video . I wish we had some of the roads and scenery down here that these guys have in Europe.
Don't mind the music either!

I agree.
Where I come from everything is as flat as a pancake.
Some sanddunes at the most, impossible to take for an M20.

You need a copy of Peter Thomings Motorcycle Atlas of Australia , desperately.
Lots of great rides down here.
You could spend a month in Tassie riding 8 hours a day and not cross the same piece of tar twice.

Tassie is a loooong way from Perth Trevor.
There's some decent roads in the hills behind Perth but not with the scenery of Europe unfortunately.

I've never been to Oz myself but for someone living on a relatively cramped island the thought of all that space is certainly alluring...

These days, particularly in the summer months, the roads in the UK are generally too busy to travel very far without getting frustrated by it all...:rage: ..Ian

You can't beat Wales and North Yorkshire for biking.....maybe Scotland and the Lake District are OK too.

Well I would hope not otherwise the world would be a rather boring place.
Diversity is the spice of life.
Although even a one eyed flag waving patriot of the "worlds gift to motorcycling" would admit it is a touch flatter on your side.

Well the BSA International is down here in 2018.
The BSAOA is sending a container or two of bikes down here so that drops the price drastically.
The Grampions, where the rally is being held is fantastic riding and bushwalking if you like to watch nature at a slower pace.
Then when it is all over, a ride ( or two ) along the Great Ocean Road to the Tassie Ferry.

I dunno,
300 dry days a year goes a long way to enjoyable biking

Re: Mad Frenchmen..and Millennials

"Dry days"? I have no dry days (we get 150 inches of rain a year). Makes no noticeable difference to my ride whether it's wet or dry. Actually better when wet because there are no Harleys on the road. When it rains, you get wet. No big deal...

Re: Mad Frenchmen..and Millennials

I once worked as Powys Council's unsealed road inspector. Basically I threatened them with various outcomes and they gave me a job....
This was twenty years ago and it was said then that Powys B and less roads were quieter then than they had been twenty years earlier. This due to rural depopulation mainly. You could walk for an hour or more at certain times of day and never see a vehicle. Nothing's changed much since then. I live in the Welsh Marches.
