Rent a Motorcycle in the South of France

I just discovered (through a sidecar enthusiasts group, that you can rent motorcycles – including Ural sidecar rigs, Triumphs, Enfields, and Beemers, in the South of France! Check out MotoProvencal. A recent trip report by folks from Adventure Sidecars in Oregon is here. When I lived in Nice, France back in 1994 I was very much into mountain biking, and wrote a little guidebook called "Cycling the French Rivera." (If you want it, email me at carla @ carlaking . com. I have a box of them buried in the back of my closet somewhere.) All the trips in that book could be done by motorcycle, best a smaller one like the Triumph Bonneville or Enfield Electra. But back even further, in 1988, I motorcycled the South of France on a Honda 750. That trip’s described in American Borders, in the first chapter titled, "Aren’t You Scared?". I absolutely LOVE camping in France. They have the most campgrounds per capita of any country in the world, and they’re normally very clean, family oriented, lots of visitors from all over Europe, and with amenities like nice bathrooms, views, barbecues, etc. If you do it, report back!
