Default So, who wants to come ??

I need to start making a list of people that want to come.

May I suggest for a small comittment of say £20, which will go towards the ferry tickets. If you are serious about joining us this year please respond to this thread and we'll get an idea of who's going.

No I'm not coming. Wouldn't be my thing, all that riding around enjoying myself.

Okay, alright, I'm in, if you insist. Actually what appeals is the no luggage home base idea and the option of hard riding (no dear I'm not talking about the local French talent, please trust me) and the odd bit of slow-riding sightseeing (well maybe).

C'mon spring get a move-on, you idle bugger.

I'd love to come, but it will all depend on finding another job! At this rate I'll have to sell the bike, not go on holiday with it!

Yep I can come, just tell me when you want money and i will give ya some. Do we need anything special for a trip like this on bikes or is it just normal UK passport and European RAC cover.

Cable ties, gaffer tape, two screw drivers and a large hammer in case all else fails!

Si, seriously, just need to make sure that the bike is in tip top condition, these sorts of trips really sort out the serviced from the unserviced! Otherwise let Steve organise and what could possibly go wrong!

Hopefully be joining you all but will depend on Alek. Have been thinking about bringing one bike and one car and bring the little one but will have to sort out logistics!

Bloody hell !!! A support vehicle

I think that's a very good idea, in fact, we could even look at helping out in the cost area, as it would be very very handy.

You & Anna could take turns too (you get the twisties, she gets the motorways )

Last year me, RIchard & Dan all had the bikes serviced (by our friends in Ealing of course) during the week we went, in fact on the Thursday night
Richard was still waiting for his at 7pm... Talk about cutting it close

They worked "overtime" to get a couple of bits done... Good lads they are..
