France / Spain do's & do not's

further to the paper I emailed some time ago including preparation for the trip advice, riding abroad hints & tips, etc........here is another. Do not do this :yo: at anyone in Spain as it means "you've got horns" which is slang for "your wife/girlfriend is playing away/getting shagged on the side". Er..........no, I'm not joking and along with insulting someone else's mother, is one of the worse insults going :dunno:

Oi Reefer, get those new tyres scrubbed in b4 the trip!

No excuses, no KFC merchants on our trip thank you! Dave T, Sam or I will get rid of 'em for you.

good luck lads, have a Fast safe journey

Cheers Ian, some of us will have a fast one but others won't 'cos they haven't helped themselves by riding with the "slowtrain" instead of getting some decent practice on the twisties :rolleyes: :bang: :}

nice one joe

ill be printing off the detail at work..if anyone wants a copy speak up:yo:
btw..the cracking noise i had on the front of the bike..that i thought was head bearings..but the honda dealer said was fork bushes.....
...well having a brainwave one night i remebered a simalar noise on me cbr1000..which the shops couldnt locate..but i found to be the fooking engine loose in the end:mad:
well turns out it was the same on the bird..i tightened up the bolts when i serviced the bike..hey presto cracking noise gone:yo: ..dont take a lot either..just 1/4 to half a turn does the trick

Yes please Si, although we shouldn't need it if we're going by GPS, but it's always useful to have a back up. I think individual directions are available for each hotel :dunno:
