Well, as you will see this was meant to be a camping trip.....

Well, I guess there are some motor bike riders on here.....

Maybe some of you are on ADV Rider or even UKGSER.com

The link below is to a site called Wild Dog Adventure Riding - Index and is a South African Dual Sport motorcycle website.

My buddy Peter and I went for a ride last week..... the ride report is in the link below.

Hope you enjoy and please do comment...... this is only day one's report so far, they will be updated daily.


Goose & Grizz's trip to France & Belgium..... Our Ride Report!

As a taster.... this was the night before.







We had also written a Pre-ride report.

Cling-On the Wild dog was everywhere on the trip too.






Day two has now been added too.

Enjoy.

Next time I wanna come with you guys. Will I be able to keep up on my Honda 200?

Cheers,

Gus

[grizz]

Thanks guys. It was a blast.

@ Gus, I have to say hat a 200 to 650cc bike would be perfect for this trip.

These big bikes are perfect mile munchers, but small bikes rock when it comes to slow back roads.

............but small bikes rock when it comes to slow back roads.

Yup, I don't like riding on any street with a speed limit over 25mph. Cars always win when they hit a motorcyclist.

Lemme know when your next trip is scheduled. Maybe Suzy will let me join you. Will the French be rude to me as I'm "merican" or will you help me pass as a "Saffer". We could always claim my accent (although I don't have an accent, you do) is due to a speech impediment. That will be our story and we'll stick to it.

Cheers,

Gus

Right, for those following the report, the last days have now been added.

Hope you enjoyed.

Managed to do this in front of my side gate when I got home from the dentist and shops.

GRRRRRR !!!






Mainly my ego that took a knock.

Picked the bike up and only a small scratch on side of the crash bar.

Just shows you..... it can happen anywhere.

Here is the pre-amble to that tour..... it is about helpful shop staff and broken items

Hope it makes you smile too.

I was ready to thump the poor shop assistant though.

I sounded more like a mad cat or tyre deflating.... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF............................

[eamarquardt]

I think I know where you were going with the FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.........................

I've been there once or twice myself. Now, though, a simple "opps" does it most of the time.

Cheers,

Fantastic tour. What wonderful memories even with the migrane.
Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed your photos & commentary.

Back roads are a great place to explore. Your beautiful photos make me wish I only had to take a ferry to explore the French countryside.

An absolute pleasure sharing guys/gals

I love ride reports and photo reports so sharing and the replies I get make it worth doing.
