| Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to Le Mans we go ........ Yep, just loaded the bike up (**) and up at 6.00 in the morning and heading over the Channel to Le Mans for the MotoGP, back Monday afternoon. Don't be too jealous, the weather doesn't look too promising but hey, c'est la vie
** Actually three of us going, and one is riding a fully kitted up Pan European, and he's taking ALL the luggage, so all I've got to take is a bum bag http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/07235.html |

| Re: Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to Le Mans we go ........ On the ferry over from Dover to Calais I met the nicest guy photo below. He wasa Brit, but had been living on Vancouver Island for some years. He'd flown back to England to pick up his dad and dad's Triumph outfit, and they were off for a blat around northern France for a couple of days. His father was in his eighties and I thought it fabulous that both of them could enjoy doing something like that together. Hope my son does the same for me in a few years.
Edit: ooops, forgot the attachment.

| Re: Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to Le Mans we go ........ Glad you had a good time, Proto  . We're off in three weeks time for the 24 hour car race. A couple in a Lotus Elise, friend on my old 916, a Duke 888, a Blackbird and me on the VFR.
