    I used the new Metzeler M7 RR's mate and loved them. In total I have 2500 miles on them with probably another 1000 miles left in them. We weren't exactly touring either ;)

    Rick has the Sportsmarts on and his looked slightly more worn to put that into perspective.

    The rest of the guys mostly had PR4's on and those things are like kryptonite. They still had plenty left.

    All thanks to you mate.

    It's only now starting to set in. It was all a bit of a blur the last couple of days, but now I've had time to think about it, what a tour mate !

    5 of us did similar run in June, a 6th joined us in South of France, but we carried on to northern Italy and took overnight train from Alessandria to Holland instead of long ferry trip. We had 12 days of pure fun, a couple of wet mornings but didn't really spoil it, loved the N260 and all the roads really.
    Great write up and good pics, glad you all got back safe and happy :)

    The more time I've had to reflect on it, the more I realise how good it actually was.

    Not the best quality, but a little clip to wet the appetite.

    Lol, it's only a twenty second clip and not to yours or Al's standard's!! Also think Raff's filmed it off a TV screen.

    Try that dude
