You've actually managed to include in that picture the spot where my car was hit.

Jim - what you need is to find someone on FCF who's just rebuilt an Activa - preferably with a nice V shaped engine - who could do with taking it out for a long blast to test it out on the twisty bits. You could promise to wait for them at the top of the mountains with your bike whilst they do their thing on the roads below. Now if only there was someone on FCF who fitted that description........

If only I could pop my bike in the back of the Activa and it could be a road trip.

I wonder if that certain person will respond?
Maybe when my Activa has a V6 we could do it as a joint road trip

Re: A collection of interesting/awful campers & motorhomes
If you want a real challenge, we've got a choice of three different unicycles here at Bobins Towers I could lend you. A geared racing unicycle, a giraffe unicycle, and an off-road unicycle. How's that for a challenge - Alpe d'Huez on one wheel Think of the fun going downhillCitroJim wrote:If only I could pop my bike in the back of the Activa and it could be a road trip.

I love your idea of a unicycle... Easy to pop in the back of an Activa. Just imagine doing the Les Lacets de Montvernier on one...
