Hi All
Just found something that I don't think has been mentioned on here yet (not in the touring section anyway, as far as I can see)
We all have probably heard of the high viz law that came and went in France a little while ago. We we all breathing a sigh of relief. HOWEVER another law which wasn't really being enforced is now being used by French police to issue 90 Euro fines,,, and it's reflective areas on helmets.

So, riding in France without these this summer could get you a stiff fine plus 3 points off your licence.
I did a bit of browsing and found the following UK guy's eBay link via another forum and purchased 2 sets this morning.
