Just booked my tickets for the eurotunnel on the 3rd sept and returning on the 17th, going to spend two weeks touring Spain on my VFR750F Very Happy

Probley going to make up the route around Spain as l go depending how long it takes to get to the Pyrenees so l can work out enough time to get back to Calais.

Drink loads of water, it'll be HOT. Snood soaked in water round your neck can help.

Have a great time Thumbs Up

All ready to go for tomorrow Very Happy

not sure if l should take my almax series 3 chain or not, the bike handles ok with it in the front tail pack but it is a hell of a lot of extra weight.

Blimey, that's more luggage than I had, and I'm a girl!

Safe ride, Tatters!

If you do take the chain make sure it can't move about at all, I usually take an Oxford Monster and I've experienced that moving about in a corner before, you can feel the bike drop into the corner twice.

Think I might have turned the bike the other way, so when I take it off the centre stand it aint flying towards the fence with all that weight!

Seriously jealous! Go carefully. Thumbs Up

I forgot people go camping. Embarassed

Don't worry too much about getting back to Calais to catch your train (unless you need to get to work the next day and cannot call in sick), as they'll throw you in the next train anyway. I was 1.5 days late and was put in the next train, free of charge.

Make sure your stuff is packed in freezer/carrier bags for the inevitable showers (probably limited to the UK, though). It'll be hot in Spain, though, here's a 10-day forecast for Barcelona.
