Because it's available for that, with a big meet on 24-25 April.

Open to bikes built 1969-1985, and costs 275 euros for two days (Easter
Sunday and Monday) or 160 euros for your choice of a single day.

Two 20-minute sessions per day. Special dinner included.

I'm up for this, riding the Honda 400 Four down there. Anyone else?
Because I'll DFV the hotels there and back. Remember this is the
mega-Bank Holiday year, and you won't need to take much time off work.

Plan: leave Friday 22 April. Hotel overnight. Arrive Saturday, camp, get
****ed, do the sessions, leave Monday, hotel Monday night on the way
back, arrive home Tuesday.

Sounds great. Track time is a bit pricey, mind - and I don't have
anything old enough in my garage.

Argh.
The Honda is probably reliable enough to do this but I think I've
exhausted my free pass quota for a bit.
I might also be a bit poor by then as well.

Still ... a CBX *is* a classic, innit.

I've got an '85 Dnepr+sidecar and no racing experience.

My top racing speed is about 48 mph, so to win I would have to
depend on all the other competitors falling asleep as in
Aesop's "The Tortoise and the Hare".

but I don't think she'll want to go back to Paul Ricard.

Ah, Easter school holidays innit. I'll already be at 'the chateau' and
due to head home to get the lad back for school. On checking, however, I
see he doesn't need to be back until the Wednesday. Hmm, a plan
involving a trailer may form and a sortie from 'the chateau' by Morini,
though it's still too tight to stay until the Monday unless I do back to
blighty in one hit, which is a pain towing a trailer (mainly the UK
leg).

<Checks Google maps>

About 700 Kms, but by some very interesting roads to start with at least
through the massif centrale. Approximately where would you plan your
overnight stop? It might make more sense for me to join you there. Or I
might camp halfway between Peyrat and Paul Ricard.

Very, very tempted.

I keep meaning to do the Trofeo Rosso again.

23/24 is also the BOFSM weekend, & the start of BRC's 'bike week'.
Which could work out well for people not in a hurry to get home.

Heh I forgot the BOFSM do. I thought I would have to be home by then,
but hadn't factored in the bank holiday Monday and an inset day at the
lad's school, so I could do Saturday/Sunday at Rocamadour. I'm now
seriously contemplating taking the trailer, just got to make my mind up
whether to load on the Shiver or the Morini. Could be some good hooning
round the Limousin to be enjoyed leading up to the weekend. So on
balance, if nobody else is up for Paul Ricard it will be the Aprilia
that gets a lazy trip to France followed quickly by having to do it
under its own steam.
