Out again today, bloody lovely weather again and being as I can't go to work and the kids pretty much look after themselves now I dissappeared off out of it just after lunch. Did about 130 odd km around the Foret D'Othe which is an area north and east of us here. No map today cos of the whingers... but I dug the camera out for you. After fifteen minutes or so I had to stop in the shade and open the vents on my Jacket, efficacious but fastidious is how I would describe them... ( cos "pain in the arse to do right" would be crude...) Most of this afternoon was spent in simlar country, the area being mostly wooded and me searching out the more sketchy back roads. I did fond some open country along the northern edge of the Forest came across this pretty place at the north eastern limit of my loop I did manage to find some short sections of trail across some of the more open farmland before plunging back into the forest and heading for home. I canged settings on the camera between these two pics and the colour looks a bit off ( too red?) in the 2nd one. I found some more lovely single lane roads back through the forest towards Joigny and home and had to stop for a photo shoot with tigrou ( tigger in French) pretty machine!

I'm not one for cheap rubbers Fred!

Oi! I resemble that remark...?

I miss the Michelin T63, one of the best dual-sport tyres ever, I use Pirelli MT21 instead now. I don't consider either of these an 'enduro' tyre, as an enduro tyre on my CRF250 Rally I use Maxxis IT Pro.

CSJ.

Not sure if it is or isnt yet, the credit isnt on my card, i can get it to work, it was missing parts and has bad ergonomics, i think they desiged it for someone with three arms.

Don’t forget that cunt from France.

62 years ago my in-laws moved to Britain to get married and start a new life for themselves, purely because in the small village they lived in Italy the two families hated each other ?
