My CBR600RR sportsbike was bought in Marseille and is garaged in Marseille. This way I don't have to ride it from London to ride the wonderful roads of Provence and the Alps.
My journey today started before dawn, checking-in then taking-off from Heathrow as a pretty dawn was brewing. Soon enough the plane was turning over the Mediterranean and I was out in the mild autumn sunshine.
My RR hasn't been ridden for a few weeks so some pre-ride checks are necessary. All good and it started first bip. The forecast for tomorrow is also 25°C with mild autumn sunshine. So Plan A is a ride out from Marseille and see where my RR takes me. Fingers crossed.
