  1. Thanks for the reply @Steve_M Since posting the original question I have looked at P&O prices from Hull Over £500 for me and the bike is a joke so it would be the chunnel, which I guess puts the Eifel within easier reach. I know quite a few on here have ridden this area, ideally I would base myself somewhere for maybe 3 nights and do circular trips during the day, so any GPX files/ map routes suitable would be very much appreciated
  2. I may take a very short notice trip sometime in September. Can't really be arsed doing mega mileage so which out of the two should I choose. Probably sail Hull / Rotterdam so approx equal distance to either.
  3. As @manxie49 says. Morally it shouldn't make a difference but I've never yet heard of a moral insurance company. The slightest excuse and they will not pay out.
  4. Brilliant road the N260
  5. Why would a fuel tap flood your engine, a fuel tap is either open or closed, it's the carb which allows the passage of fuel. Sounds more like a stuck float but as you don't say what bike you have that is purely a guess.
  6. Oh GREAT!!! I bought the same one as you were always singing its praises. Now you tell me I've bought a load of
  7. Well you wouldn't want it "All shook up"
  8. Sods Law says you'll get it.

  10. £110 to check your tyre pressure ???????????
  11. I totally agree with Bender on this one. Knowing that you are appreciated and not simpy taken for granted counts for a lot in my book.
  12. That's why God invented rain, and gave you lot up in Scotland plenty of it.
  13. Sounds like Hoggs will be waving at a lot of scarecrows next week

    Mileage

    Likewise, I don't consider that selfish. I usually do my foreign trips alone for all the same reasons. Occasionally two of us go together but we both know that we are not obliged to ride the same route or go at the same pace. We both know the days final destination and find our own way to get there. Far more chilled than being in a group with everyone trying to outpace each other.
  15. Way back!!, early noughties????? Jeez, I feel old.

  17. Well I hate to state the obvious, but if indeed you have tried EVERYTHING, then what suggestions are you hoping for??
  18. "All good things come to an end", as the saying goes.
  19. I think exactly the same. But so am I
  20. This will very quickly get very expensive!!
  21. As I've said before, +1 for the Creg
  22. Bit of a theme going on here. I also used to work on the forecourts in order to top up my apprenticeship wage so that I could afford a bike. Petrol then, pre-decimal, was around 6s6d a GALLON, so you could get 3 gallons for less than £1.00
  23. You're safer at the back of the fast group than at the front of the slow group. Fast group riders generally know what they are doing, far less so in the slow group.
  24. That looks like @MikeHorton bike
