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.

The French celebrate « La Chandeleur », the pagan festival of the end of winter, with a feast of pancakes. The Anglicans call this day Candlemas and light candles at midnight for purification. Pierre and Pascal treated members of AMA Provence to a feast of crêpes, there were rounds with meat, cheese, bananas flambé’d in rum, lemon and cheese.
First ride of 2019, an afternoon on my favourite training road, the Col de l’Espigoulier (723 m.), just outside of Marseille.
Ride out to La Ciotat, the small-scale Mediterranean port between Toulon and Marseille.
End-of-year lunch with AMA Provence at Aix-en-Provence.
Pause in my afternoon’s ride out from Marseille along the Côte Bleu and back along the Étang de Berre,

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.
