Default French biker protest, not a burning sheep in sight.

Hopefully not a hitler post.

lol, I see a phone call to my mate over there tonight coming on.
Funny thing is, the French are pretty good to us guys, they'll bend over backwards to let us past, so much so they'll drive into a ditch at the side of the road. He was such a nice guy too that did, unfortunately it was raining so hard I couldn't hardly see him for the sheet of water in front of me.
Also worth pointing out, there are two lanes on a peage in a lot of places, drivers make their own third lane over the lines to let a bike past. The government obviously don't see how tolerant their public is!

Like the protest

If they EVA* brought that rule in here (no filtering) that would be the end of me riding with a numberplate.




*see elsewhere

ABSOLUTELY agree 100%, I am already on the edge with the big brother surveillance, average speed limits on dead motorways and 40 limits on dual carriageways, no more filtering would push an honest biker like me totally underground and I'd chuck my plate. What a shame.

I think what you mean is 'reasonable' (by your own standard)
