France Day out 31st May

[Devil Biccy]

Thought I'd share some of the photo's from our brilliant day trip to France organised by Grant.

Very nice pics! Have a good trip?

[Spikenipple]

Not many SVs for an SV forum ride :/

[Blue_SV650S]

Not many SVs for an SV forum ride :/

I noticed that too, being on an SV, I was in a minority on the day! :lol: ... Doesn't/didn't matter one iota really, but it was funny to see/note how many non SV people we have on the .org!! :D

Not that we physically went on it, but that beach in the 4/5/6th photos looked lovely, it was really fine sand and as you can see, very few people actually on there 8) ... however hard I looked, I didn't see any babes on the beach playing topless volleyball mind you!! :lol:

You can see me in the first pic by the 'France' sign .(white/silver leathers) .. its amusing that there is a big sign and a massive arrow pointing to France and I am looking the other way as if I am wondering which way we need to go!! :smt042 (I was actually just trying to find a bin :oops:).


Oh and to those that went, in my 'rucksack of plenty', I actually had a still camera ... but like all the other tonnes of junk I had in there, it never actually came out/in use :oops: :lol:

[BanannaMan]

Great pics!!
Looks like you had a nice trip.

Oh sure...We'll all know you anywhere now. :rolleyes:

[Demonz]

What a contrast to today. Looking out the window today I can remember the sunny weather, open roads and green fields... :)

Don't be too judgemental Blue, just because I went to France on a Blackbird for which it is ideal. I commute daily on a K3 naked for which it is equally suited.

+1 (kinda ish)

Okay, so it's only taken me about 5 or 6 weeks to sort these out... but here they are:

Mr Toad rolls into Folkestone:

Out the other side, in French France. First stop - petrol. Fizzy on her pretty GSXR:

For once, Addicted actually inflates his own jacket - by accidentally sitting on the thing that makes it go off (I think that's what happened):

[suzsv650]

did you not have straps to hold down your bikes on the train?

[Mr Toad]

did you not have straps to hold down your bikes on the train?

Nope

They just wobbled a bit when going over the points, but other than that it's a very smooth ride. You had to look out of the window to see that we'd set off
