TET France Section 6th August invites

Post by skygod »

I have 8 days to kill from the 6th of August and was thinking of giving the French TET a go. I know I won't get it all done but the rough plan is to get the Euro Tunnel to Calais. Blast to Dieppe and see how much I can do in 7 days then blast back up to Calais on road.
I`m happy to do all the Nav.
I will be on an 1190R ( A mans Bike :) )
Happy for some folk to join me as long as you don't whine like F**K and don't drink skinny decaf soya milk Lattes!!! (thumbs)

It's a great idea, but a bit more notice is needed...
Hope you have a great trip - good luck finding baby soyas to milk :blink:
Take lots of photos and report back

Unsure if my bike is ready for such a trip and whether I'd get the time off work at such short notice.
I'm going laning tomorrow and will have a think about whether I can get my stuff together in time.
Will you be camping or hotels? I'm easy on either.
What tyres will you be running? I'll need a set of tyres and usually run the D908 rear and TKC front but given the road blast ill need to compromise.
I'm definitely interested but it is dependant on me getting time off and my gear/bike sorted.
Oh, I ain't hardly ridden the 950 since we did the TAT as so much going on but I'm prepared to push myself.
