    RD07 found on Pyrenean peak

    French Provincial papers from the Bayonne region report that an RD07 was found on the top of Canigou, a tall peak in the Pyrenees. Local mountaineers cannot understand how it got there, as ropes and pitons have to be used to get to the summit. The bike was on its centrestand, on a flat block of granite, and in perfect condition.

    The number plate was missing so it was helicoptered off to a Biarritz police station where they hope to know more from the engine number.

    Police have appealed for the public to alert them to any missing bikers. Though the rider is probably French, can you help?

    So that's where I left it. I thought I was a bit slower on the motorway than I used to be.

    Never mind the location....it was on it's centrestand, we are looking for a superman!!!!
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!
