Hi from SW France. I have just bought a Streetfighter S having sold my 851 and SP4 15 years ago. Have a hornet 900 also,(sorry), but Ducatis have always been my spiritual home. The roads of SW France were made for Ducatis. Empty, well surfaced, sweeping through glorious mountain scenery- and the weather is better than the UK! Glad to be on the forum. It seems to be a great resource. There was nothing like this 15 years ago. I am not a great mechanic- or a brilliant rider, so not much use generally, but can help if anyone needs to know about touring in the Pyrenees. Cheers Buzz
Where are you in the Pyrenees fella ? Usually end up thereabouts on our yearly tour but largely on the Spanish side. Sometimes end up around Foix and in the Ariege region.
Spoonz, I am on the French side, between Pau and Auch If you are normally in Spain perhaps give the French High Pyrenees a try. I'm sure you wont be disappointed.
Have visited Pau a few times and quite often ride from there up the somport pass and on to Jaca. Last year spent a night at Tarbes and rode up to Formigal. Nice area, your a lucky man.
Spoonz, When you are next in town, come over for a beer and a ride if you want. Three friends from the local area ride Ducatis too......
Hi and welcome, similar to Spoonz we make an annual trip to Pyrenees Spanish side and have wondered what your side might be like .Will definitely use your knowledge in future , All the Best
Hi nodrog. Have been here 10 years so lucky enough to know both sides reasonably well. French side very different. Will be pleased to try and answer any questions you have. cheers
Welcome Know the area a little, I am in Cahors. Tomorrow going to Bainere de Bigores, not far from you. I had a Streetfighter S, mega mgea bike. Oh and get yourself to Pau Arnos race track, the streetfighter S would be perfect round there. Enjoy it. Greg
Sorry Greg just read your post. You would have gone almost past me. I would have invited you for a beer If I`d known. Next time. What were you doing in Bagneres,taking the waters? I do know Cahors. Lovely place:-that bridge! Cheers
