Having not seen the post on this the 1st time around.
You may get more interest from people if you give more info, dates, route, ferries, hotels, locations, mileage per day & cost factor etc

Will be on Dover dock's on the morning of the 21 May. Will stop over at Dover the night before to get an early crossing. Can get it for £10 a night. Riding down to Poitiers for the first night stop over F1 hotel.

Going down this way.

Three over night's all F1. Two week's in this hotel.

Hotel cost about £200 for the two week's.

How much is it going to cost in all? How long is a bit of string. I'm hoping that it should be about a grand in all. More if you splash out.

Still one place left.

I have a hi viz bomber jacket. Keep's the wind and rain out. Keep's me warm. Let people know I'm about. Each to there own. But I really don't ride with out one. They are a lot better than either a bib or a waist coat.

Meh, if it saves a pull I'll just buy some.

I'm assuming I need some for a pillion, too.

Edit, bought two lots from mr marmalade man.

Marmalade's stickers will do the job and I will likely order a set soon.
But I'd rather spend some time hunting for a less adhesive removable sticker.

I could stick the reflective ones to normal vinyl before cutting so that they are just as sticky as normal vinyl.

Would do the job unless they try to find out how sticky they are.

If you could do that for a fussy bugger like me, I'd be extremely grateful Very Happy
Thanks for the Tucanno Urbano suggestion aswell. I might give them a go before trying to source some V-Strom guards Thumbs Up

Well not long now. Starting to get thing's packed. Should leave my place on the Monday, to make the crossing on the Tuesday.

I'll see about putting a map up of my way down. Nice and easy. To try and see as much as I can.

This look's like the way down. Hotel's on the way. And to see as much as I can.
