Just got back from the 70th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy.
I'd like to share some photos with you for the people who couldnt make it.
it was a very somber mood in Arromanches, and we met some wonderfull and memorable people.

Yours green with envy lol

Cheers Tez, it was a fantastic week, great roads and lanes, and got lost a few times but that was all part of the fun. the campsite was great, and Jerome was a great host.
we had two breakdowns one of the Bms front hose split on the junction under the front mudgaurd but we blanked that off and Phill only had the nearside front brake to use but all was ok with that, and Gareth's Triumph Speedmaster'S battery failed once because he left the lights on. but we got that started with the help of Teflons jumpleads and his trusty Gs1200 powerfull battery. There will be a ride report to follow shortly with all the info on the trip.
Cheers
Al
