  3. I have 3 track days booked so far and lots of time off work (that I can ill afford) so plenty to look forward to... but I would love to come along so will be trying to make it happen...
    I'd have to get the SS sorted as well. The £ has been going on the track bike.. having said that I plan on getting a day time mot on the 749.. do they fly in Europe?

  4. Head and tail light are a requirement in France, there's no equivalent of a daytime MOT there according to Bike Normandy. In fact for bikes there is no MOT type test. However, I think they must be type approved and still have lights.

    Having said that; many years ago I drove a 1928 Austin 7 to Épernay and under French law at the time you couldn't drive cars of that age without a specific permit. There were 16 similar aged Austin 7s in the group and we had no issues.

  9. What bike will you be taking dude?
     
    #209 chizel, Jan 21, 2019
  10. Well the Baines has a fuel range of 80 miles, is the most uncomfortable of all and has zero luggage carrying ability so that’s out. All the other Ducati’s are off the road so I guess it will be my Africa Twin again ... it did ok last time even on 50/50 tyres :)

  15. As he posted above; sharing with Braz. Eurotunnel now booked and API completed, price had crept up a little for the return leg.

    Looking forward to this as the season opener of the three trips, planned so far, that I'm making into Europe this year on the bike:upyeah:

  16. Mine was £90

    Really looking forward to it. Wonder if I’ll have another bike by then ... not certain the s1000r is a tourer

  17. Shame. Hope all goes well.

  18. So ... parking spaces? I’ve booked one, so has Tim. Anyone else? We need three for 11 or 12 bikes

  19. @Pete1950 and I are meeting for dinner tomorrow night at the Bike Shed in Shoreditch. We may do a bit of route planning. If you have any suggestions or requests please let me know.

    @MaDProFF ?
    anyone else with knowledge of the Ardennes area?
     
    #219 Dave, Jan 22, 2019
  20. Was hoping just to book one when we arrive
