It was a moment that it's me tempting to go to marmots, the meetings, the mountain, the highest village in europe....
I missed the winter cause strain and step of thunes, and I decided to make the spring, until winter 2005.
Poutou could not come because of problems in the knee (I expected you to the large winter, I seek a passenger;-)) motorcycle of Octopus is not could be bulging in time.
There's others, few in number but very friendly pirate on his 1000 gl of 300,000 km, 500 gpz, coyote on his 636 kawa son, Philippe centauro, Ms. yeti and me on Granny my faithful 1000 gtr + sidecar.
Go to grenoble to 15 h the bewildered only a fact two towers of the area to find it is me of course.
Octopus has still come see us go thank you;-) and Gathounette decided to make an end of road with us.
A bug of Oisans pouring rain on whether adopted take a pot and eat the first two patties of Kings made by Ms. yeti my half. Gathounette is a half round for Lyon.
Rain becomes intermittent but the road is still wet, the col du Lautaret is swallowed without too to realize, is in the clouds and is moisture.
This finally is the neck of the Izoard re-opened this week. the road is still soggy, the descent is steep rather tight turns and I I have not done my brakes, master cylinder déconne and I am compelled to pump for brake disks over-the-counter since 30 000 km. Shame on me because there was rather hot, first pin made snow on the ground of insufficient braking it calm, especially that there is no safety rail for us to fall into a ravine.
After this epic descent arrived on Saint Véran is worry-free. The cottage is very well especially for 12 euros. Executive restaurant, and here we are allowed by Pierre Védel Organizer, which invites us to his table where we find the fine flower of Moto Journal, bar2, Fane, and several journalists assayers which I shamefully ate the name but which we have had yet fun throughout the evening.
Thank you stone me have responded as quickly to me their names:
The man who is sitting to the right of BAR2 in black t-shirt (photo 2) it is Dominique tramp, independent journalist who worked to motorcycle magazine Moto Journal, motorcycle Magazine, Cafe Racer... and many others. Ivan Barbary Macaque (the great accompanying BAR2) has long worked for Moto Journal then motorcycle magazine. He is now at Automobile Magazine (no one is perfect).Thierry De Frémont (John of ¦uf) works with Moto 2.
Of course when they start to tell their stories it has any other speed than the ours and our most beautiful bullshit motorcycle become middle schoolgirls stories.
brief slice of laughter to all the soirée, thank you gentlemen;-)
On Saturday we went to see the beautifully perched queyras Castle, and then the afternoon was balladés in the mountains hunting for marmots. Coyote had to make the most beautiful photos, it is someone who has been the most patient and also that which has the most beautiful coup de soleil.
On Saturday evening, bikers are, and it is all in a restaurant two stars to eat an exellent squeegee for a low price.
Raclette is good, the room is full, drunk meat, super atmosphere. After the meal, questions on the motorbike, with as a batch of t-shirts joe bar team (bin Yes easy for them, but always pleasant for the one who wins).Cow your stone questions are a bit hard, but with 18 years of daily practice I thought me y know, but again, I had almost no response.
Sunday bah it reloads the motorcycles, it redecend tranquilou and sought an OWL corner for the last picnic.
Then continue the descent, in an enchanting landscape, and arrived at the col du Lautaret this blow ci under the Sun, bin it is all remained, even our three friends of haute savoie that must yet be accustomed.
With my brakes I am not frankly to the wedding because between Saint Véran and grenoble must 150 km of downhill. Me who had conduct of brutus to trend approximative, I progressed much in the practice of casting;-) conduct
Finally last coffee prior to separation, one has the impression of having lived a moment, in a landscape a breathtaking.
Thank you Pierre Vedel to organize marmots, a gathering or nothing is organized but on Saturday evening meal, but the atmosphere is unique. I think that the atmosphere of the winter should be even much better, then except incident, I testerai in January 2005. Because the marmots when you actually came, you have more it is a desire to return.
