Normally a beret and onions around your neck will suffice.....

Spare inflatable sheep and a first aid kit and breathalyser,and spare bulbs.
Where are you going?

I take photo copies of my docs, travel insurance and euro break down cover. Licence and passport.

Spare bulbs a puncture repair kit and electric pump

Some Euro's and a credit card and a few £'s just in case. I carry a little cooker and some tea bags powdered milk and sugar. The rest depends on whether I am camping or not.

One of my favourite drinks on the road is apple tea and kendal mint cake :silly:
The French road manners towards bikes is a little different to here if yopu have never been before.

Just all your docs

watch your speed into and out of towns, even more so at the end of the month

Take your time and enjoy

I think you need a hi-viz jacket in case of breakdown/emergency. Have a look on AA website for latest advice.

Just enjoy it and don't worry about remembering everything, as long as you have all docs and money/credit card you will be fine.

I think. I've heard. It somewhere that France has just abolished the hi viz jacket policy
But do check it out first.

They are well known to miss sale goods at the ports !!!
