Mav - it is not being up to something different or not.

I am just giving you an advice that France has changed. You are not imune to speeding prosecution anymore. Go to France and ride like a **** for any significant distance and you will get done. Cops are out and about a lot more than in the UK and they have implemented a zero tolerance policy for about a year. All my relatives and friends have been done for speeding recently and that includes people that would at most exceed the limit by 10mph!

Now if you don't want to listen and think you have more clues than I have about what is happening in my own country, go ahead, have fun but don't complain afterwards about having your bike confiscated, a massive fine and complications to get it back.

pugnet ! it's not what you do it's where you do it !



and please tell me at what point in my original post

" gumball"

did i mention

A, Abroad
B, France

The question was who's up 4 a gumball? and i would of expected those who are to have replied and those who are not interested to pass it by! "simple"

i do know the score as to what is going on in europe as i spend most of my time over there!

But thanks for your imput anyway

The fact is pugnet
you dont know me , but i suspect that you have read my posts in the past and formed your own opion of me (right or wrong)

but i suspect wrong !!!
as most of the post's i have put on that you have replied to, have been decidedly on the negertive side

but thanks anyway after all it is an open forum

i was going to do the real gumball (france/spain/north africa and back) this year in my m3 cab but the £8k price per car was a bit stiff and i couldnt get any takers to split it with me! + you would need a few £k for fines and getting lashed with the hoorays

I know that route from Scarborough to stamford bridge over Garraby hill, we ride it from Fimber, dropping down on the other side of stamford bridge through Elvington towards howden.
i'll look out for you next year
