Took a trip to the beach. These Mutants do pretty well on dirt roads too!

Sort of my ‘back yard’ for the past 25 years. My usual route from Switzerland is Grenoble, Gap, Sisteron, Digne-les-Bains, Riez, along the gorge and then rejoin the Route Napoléon at Castellane.

Then, if I’ve been a very good boy, it’ll be an overnight near Nice followed by a week in Corsica. And the Route des Grandes Alpes north back home afterwards.

This photo was from a shorter weekend trip on my 748R in 2019, just a small rucksack (and a trip to the osteopath afterwards.) A few kms east from your pic.

You’re there at the ideal time, weather not too hot and not yet massive holiday traffic. If you’re passing Geneva, wave on your way back home wink

I had a go on one of those a few years back that my brother had on test.

It was a lovely thing, the brakes were immense and the exhaust fell off. They're my two main memories of it hehe
