Thanks for sharing, great photos, I was there too and it was a great rally.......I got a puncture on the way back on the Sunday on the A6 Autoroute......Not a great experience!!
  
I may have to share on here soon !

    a puncture on the motorway? I hope nothing serious, you've managed to keep the bike upright?

I managed to stay upright ...Just!! I left a service station and felt a wobble kept going for about 10km and it got worse so slowed down and the tyre went...locking up the back wheel, luckily I managed to come to a stop without dropping it on the busy 3 lane Autoroute.
The recovery and eventual new tyre was a nightmare as all the French Harley dealers are closed on Sundays and Mondays, I did finally get a tyre from Dijon at a cost of 300 Euro!! ...2 days later!!
Have attached just a few photos..

This shows a sad Krypto in the back of the recovery truck!!

At the services where overhead antenna sets off all the Harley alarms and immobilises the Bikes....no chance off a drive off here!!

Would you adopt a fellow rider to live beside your bikes )))

Sounds great.....I only have 2 UK Rallies planned as my partner is expecting a baby at the end of August so I can't be too far away!!!  Going to The South of England Rally (SOFER) in August and our own Chapter(New Forest Branch) Rally in September - "Blazin' Saddles"
I still haven't made Faaker See yet.  Maybe next year !

Best regards
