Cheers, Bob. The Fort isn't too far away, so I'll go back for a proper look when it's open again.

Nice one Bob, that fort looks really interesting , shame you couldn't get in.

Hey @zzzak, you seen this shit? Side effects of all those covid vaccines?

Shit happens ! Get well soon mate.

The forecast for today seemed to be a bit sketchy, so I decided not to go too far. It was not bad when I left home anyway. I thought that I'd go down to Le Port Leucate to have a look at Le Lydia, which is a ship built in Denmark in 1931. It was decommissioned in 1966 and was bought by a company which was developing a new resort on the Med, to the South-East of Perpignan. Anyway, the ride down there isn't the most exciting. Taking the Narbonne northern ring road and then picking up the Perpignan road to the west of Narbonne centre. It's a fairly busy road, that criss-crosses the motorway that runs down past Perpignan and on to Spain. I left the main road near Leucate and followed the coast road through to where the ship is situated. It's certainly not a place that I'd be visiting in the summer months, as it's full of holiday parks and hotels! I then decided to head back up inland a bit to visit the Fort at Salses. This was built around 1495 to protect the border of France from Spain. Unfortunately it wasn't open, as there's some work going on there, but it should be open for the summer. After a little look around the outside I decided that it was probably time to head back. So I picked up the Perpignan to Narbonne Road and headed back the same way as I'd gone down there. There wasn't too much to photograph on the ride down and back, so I only got a few pictures from Le Lydia and the Fort. I didn't set the trip, but I'd guess that the trip was around 160-180km.

Get well soon, dude!

Ok then...no more flexing contest for you mate...first time having nausea like this ?

Severe nausea.

Dear @Buckster , due to @XTreme's trip to the hospital it means WE are in charge now. These twat's better shape up now. Any nonsense and we'll get the cards out and issue some holidays . Sorry to send you this on a PM but it's best they don't know

Blimey Pete, hope you recover well and get home soon

Do you have anyone in mind ?

Great patience & teaching @Saul!....I'll never forget my youngest boy getting the hang of clutch use on the XR....the grin on his face said it all. I was well chuffed when he sent me this pic of him doing a trackday on his Ninja 400 a few years back...something I always wanted to do but never quite got there...

I mainly use my iPad.

Holyshit Pete...what were the systems like...like a stomach heartburn ?

Wow, thankfully your doctor was on the ball and got you to the right place pronto! At least we won't be getting any photos of this one! They'll be telling you to exercise now, so you'll no longer have any excuses! Speedy recovery mate.

Flouncing twat.

Get well soon Pete, at least your in good hands .........If you where here you would still be in the ambulance waiting outside A&E.

Took her out again today but it is pretty hard to find anywhere for her to ride. Our normal place is open today so we were a bit limited. Her phone mount came today with vibration damper so had to be fitted straight away.
