Motorbiking
"Biker" for me usually means motorbiking, though I also have a Marin mountain-bike...
My current motorbikes are a CBR600RR and a CBR600RW, both from Honda.
Previously I have owned: Honda VF750F, Yamaha FJ600, Suzuki GSX750EX, Yamaha FJ750, Yamaha XJ900, Kawasaki Z750 and I passed my riding test on my Kawasaki KH250.

Riviera ride out - last ride before lockdown
Resting up in the shade at the turnaround point of my ride to the south Lubéron.
La Tour d’Aigues
A big ride on the best day’s sunshine so far this year.
The closest thing to a MotoGP bike I have yet got my hands on the bars of, Honda’s RC213V-S, courtesy of the Honda dealer in Marseille
Just a very brief touch of the RC213V-S but enough to know it it’s a monster under there, it felt unlike the riding position of a Fireblade SP and maybe those bars were set a bit wider. One of those things that if you need to ask how much, then it’s already too much. You’ll need the Race Pack too, so something like €240,000 all-in, is the answer.

Free practice on the Col de la Gineste (326 m.), which runs around the Calanques between Marseille and Cassis
Falling in love again: big views, big emotions on reclaiming my RR from the workshop following its rebuild. A brilliant ride out but read on to hear about the shooting on the autoroute .

Alps Biker 2016
I'm riding light for a week on the mountain roads of the Alps. No laptop, although I do have my SLR camera but photos will have to wait till I'm back in Marseille..
I left Marseille for a long ride north via the Col de la Croix Haute (1179 m.) to Saint-Gervais under Mont Blanc. A bit of rain towards the end of the day which cleaned the Provence dust off my white leathers and boots but didn't soak me through.
