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.

An enjoyable day out at Snetterton Circuit in Norfolk, supporting GBMCC with my photography skills. Fine warm weather, not too hot and with just a light wind. Frustrating not being on two wheels myself this time but time to enjoy the beauty of bikes in motion as well as the atmosphere of committed sports enthusiasts.
Zapping though the pine forests around Le Castellet on Mont Sainte Baume on an early start from Marseille for a croissant and coffee under the plantane trees near the picturesque boulangerie in Méounes-lès-Montrieux. Spring water from the village's ancient source tasted excellent too.
An early start from Marseille for breakfast croissants from a flower-fronted Boulangerie in Malaucene at the foot of Mt. Ventoux, the limestone mountain that towers over Provence. Many years ago, Mt. Ventoux was a motorsport circuit, as the Nurburgring is still today, but Mt. Ventoux is now iconic for cyclists.

My best ride so far this year! Riding from Gilette up the whole length of the river Var from Nice to the source of the Var, just below the snow line of the col de la Cayolle (2326 m.)

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.
