Loved that, thanks. My wife and I took our BMW 90/6 to France a couple of times back in the early '80s. First trip was down to near Grasse and the 2nd was Brittany and then - for some reason - over to Luxembourg. Should have split that last one into 2 separate trips! That was all pre mobile phones & sat navs and even before the Tunnel. Getting a fully loaded BMW up the (wet & slippery) ferry ramp on the 2nd trip, I was grateful for having down a few years in Trials! No bike at present but starting to think about a run down to a place in Italy where my late Dad was in WW2. I'd be passing through France en-route, so this is invaluable. I don't suppose you do something similar for Italy and other countries??? 🙂 Subscribed.

When you decide to get another Moto, don't get one too heavy to start back on. It took me a while to get used to the weight of the Deauville and, later, the FJR. My goal is to travel Europe and other places on a motorcycle. I have a few projects that need to be finished though before I can do that. This year I'll be in the UK so will Vlog about how the UK has changed in the last 15 years Many thanks for subscribing..

Fantastically informative and helpful, I just got back from a 5 day tour incorporating Luxembourg and Germany / no issues / courteous drivers, fantastic roads / came back here… OH DEAR … Charlie wants to marry me and road surfaces shocking … thanks for the video is there fantastic 🙏🏼 I hope your ankle is better

I wish I could say everything was hunky dory riding in France. In the cities, some of the road surfaces can be appalling and the drivers and riders really unpleasant. But that's the same in nearly every city I've ridden and driven in. As France is 3x the size of the UK with approximately the same population, the countryside is much less crowded and therefore, a joy to ride through. I love it! My ankle is very nearly back to normal. Still a bit of a problem going down the stairs and the foot is still very slightly swollen. But I can get my motorcycle boot on, and that's what counts. Many thanks for asking.

One or two things from your videos. I have checked online and it seems that reflective stickers on helmets is no longer enforced. When I got my Crit Air I had to provide a copy of the relevant part of the V5a document to show the exhaust emmision rating of the vehicle. You missed out a couple of essentials to carry, a copy of your insurance document and your V5a document or an equivalent if you have rented the bike. On thing to remember if you are riding on country roads is that the 50 kph limit starts once you pass the name sign for the village or town and stops when you pass the sign going out of the village or town.

Many thanks for the comment. Most of that info and a great deal more is available in the document on Patreon, a link to which is in the description.

Just got my critair and also had to provide a photograph of my V5 doc. Useful video - thanks.

Do they still require helmets to be fitted with reflectors on each side and fore and aft?

@riderramblings 11 ай бұрын

Yes, they do and they must be white. If you're stopped, they'll check but, if you're not stopped... I have them on all my helmets and, honestly, I don't notice that they are there.
