But as I said I dont really remember it but I do remember the other lads moaning all the time about how much further is it etc.

Anythings better than the monotony of the autoroute though, especialy on a Multistrada.

Sean I meant to ask you as you are quite a regular visitor over there, whats likely to happen if I was flashed at by a speed camera over there? Got flashed a couple of weeks ago on the autoroute from near Verdun to Reims. And also on a twisty road again near Reims this time the flash came out the back of a oldish car parked at the side of the road. The autoroute one was defo a speed camera and I was doing very well into 3 figure speeds. The one that flashed out the back of the car may have just been some French 'doggers' taking some snaps of there activities? Or maybe not?

MArtin, i honestly don't know the answer, don't think they'll send anything to the UK (yet) but you may well be on the records of most wanted if you get pulled over there another time, but this is all supposition. I'd be very interested to find out.

There are a couple of sites that list French gatso locations.
