If it's your job to book accommodationand to get us there and back.
does that mean I won't be leading for a change?                                                                                                                                                                             

you no if I go at front I get told off .
I go at back and make sure we all get there.

                                                                                                                                                                             

That's an early tour for the Alpine passes so folks need to keep an eye on the weather forecasts for this trip

I'm doing route de Napoleon next year as a change for my BM Euro run. I plan on keeping away from Alps until later in the year also so can run over Stelvio again with a second tour group (did it twice this year).

Just letting anyone who wants to join us, we are booking the 7-50 train out not the 5-50 train that's on the events page.                                                                                                                                                                             

The most on this trip is 11 people only two left ,                                                                                                                                                                             

Well that has to be Mark and Julie.
Hang on I think I saw a pig fly past.

Law changes in France from Jan 2016

HomeChecklist FAQ's Products Places To Stay Useful Links Car Hire France Ferry to France Contact Us Blog Motorcycling in France
New laws have come into force for motorcyclists and scooter riders regarding the requirement to carry a fluorescent hi viz vest or jacket while riding in France. (From January 2016) The new €11 fine applies if you get spot checked by police and you don’t have one with you, though the fine is €135 if you are caught not wearing it at the roadside (or on the hard shoulder) in the event of an emergency due to an accident, flat tyre or breakdown. The introduction of the fine has come into force following yet more poor figures on the number of road deaths in France.  Image Via: Pinterest
Finally a Decision It seems to have taken an age to finally implement this law as it was originally talked about seven or eight years ago. It was up until recently a classic case of “we used to be indecisive but now we’re not so sure” from the French government. Originally the (former) French Interior Minister, Claude Guéant, wanted to bring this in however under pressure from the French motorcyclist’s pressure group (FFMC – French Federation of Angry Bikers), he backed down.   Motorcycling in France Requirements Spare bulbs, along with the Hi Viz and Breathalysers but I personally don’t take breathalysers any-more because there is no longer fine for not carrying them. Though they are still listed as a legal requirement by the French authorities. Read all about the back story to the breathalyser rules and my opinion on it here. Breathalysers do you need them? You also should have reflective stickers for your helmet in four places - one on the front, one at the back and one on each side. They must be fitted in a way that t does not hinder the opening/closing visor of your helmet. (Some helmets have them fitted as standard) Stickers must have a minimum surface area of 18cm2. You can buy top quality stickers from us here. Motorcycle Helmet Stickers for France. Also the new rules state that wearing gloves for motorcyclists will be a mandatory requirement, though I would guess that most serious riders would be wearing gloves these days without it being compulsory. If you want to purchase any/all the items you need see the requirements page here. See also this new Motorcycling legislation about riding in-between lanes of stationary traffic in France. People have always done it but it looks like they might finally make it legal.   Headlights It is compulsory for dipped headlamps to be used day and night and although they are for cars if you get a set of headlamp converters they will do the job of preventing you from dazzling oncoming drivers. Headlamp Converters for France. They only come with fitting instructions for cars but you should be able to work it out, and you'll get 2 in the pack so if you mess up the first attempt you 'll at least have a spare.   Tips for Motorcycle Holidays Motorcycle holidays through France can be terrific and many people enjoy the thrill of biking through some of the great French countryside which has fantastic scenery, quiet roads and friendly locals who generally like bikes and bikers more than the UK do.   Priorité à droite As a motorcycle rider you will be used to people pulling out without seeing you but in France they may have seen you but be driving under a very old system known as ‘Priorité à droite’. So read about it here and make a note of the signs because people will pull out from side roads onto the main carriageway without warning. Details of other important French Road signs can be found here.   Rules for Riding in France Ride on the right! Sounds daft but you’d be amazed how many forget that small fact. It’s not usually when you first get there as you are always concentrating then, it’s when you have been there 3 or 4 days and slip into autopilot mode.

Routes and Where to Stay Some of the very best routes around France are the minor roads and of course this will save you going through so many toll booths. Many motorbike forums and magazines offer inspired choices for routes from the well-travelled so I certainly suggest some research prior to setting off! Choose motorcycle friendly accommodation if possible, preferably where you can get advice on routes etc. Finally I work very hard on this website! Can you do me a quick favour in return for providing this free information? I'd really be grateful if you told Twitter, Facebook or Google + that you appreciate my efforts!
