Took the S10 on its first big trip of the year to Southern France taking in the limosin area including Oradour Sur Glane,Roccamador and Puy Mary.Then travelled down to the beautiful medieval fortress town of Carcassonne for a night before heading over the Pyrenees to Andorra.
Spent 2 nights exploring Andorra before travelling through the Pyrenees and arriving at our next destination just south of Lourdes.This was a gem of a find owned by Phil and Belinda..Pyrenees motorcycle tours.The next few days were a whirlwind of mountain passes,hair pins and stunning scenery reaching heights of over 7000ft.
Finally it was time to head back out on our own to Santander in Spain to catch our ferry back to England.
The bike behaved faultlessly and was surprised out how easy it was to ride up tight twisty passes even fully loaded with pillion on board...bike does an amazing job of hiding its weight.
Hopefully a few pics of our trip..

Looks like an awesome ride and awesome scenery. Maybe one day I'll get across the big pond to take a ride like yours.

Wonderful area and it's not hard to find rentals in Toulouse.

Great photo's, France is a great place, as is Andorra (albeit 2 days is plenty). Oradour, very disturbing place to visit, did you feel the same?

Were there any negatives for the bike on the trip? What sort of tank range was you getting?

The ST is very high up on my list for next bike and I do a 2000 mile+ Euro trip every year so am curious regarding how it performed.

Thanks for sharing and thanks in advance for any info.
