Motorbiking
"Biker" for me usually means motorbiking, though I also have a couple of mountain-bikes... see Trail Bike
My current motorbikes are a Honda CBR600RR ABS 2017 and a Kawasaki Ninja Z250SL.
Previously I have owned: Kawasaki ZX4-RR (Ninja anniversary edition), Honda CRF300 Rally, Honda CBR600RR 2005, Honda CBR600FW, Honda VF750F, Yamaha FJ600, Suzuki GSX750EX, Yamaha FJ750, Yamaha XJ900, Kawasaki Z750 and I passed my riding test on my Kawasaki KH250.

Chance meet with three Italians on KTM bikes, this was during my gear check ride on my “Home track”, the Col de l’Espigoulier (723 m.). We had a good chat at the side of the road: these three are from north-west Italy and are touring Provence with a van for their holiday.
Here we are in Saint Tropez... the jewel of the Riviera.
Ride out from Marseille on my RR for a quick midi in Saint Tropez with friends.
Snow on the peaks of the Écrins and Dévoluy, view from Sanctuaire de Notre-Dame de la Salette (1769 m.)
Breakfast in the Écrins, lunch with the Alps, tea in the Vercors and dinner in Marseille.
First light on the Obiou (2790 m.) in the Dévoluy massif.
Crossroads just down from Col de Festre (1442m.)
A brilliant afternoon riding the Col de Festre (1442 m.), Le Dévoluy and Gorge of the Souloise. Dévoluy is a short side trip off the Route Napoléon and well worth the detour if you have the time.

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.
