watch out for the tourists.

driving along an inner city dual carriageway, in a car. a group of bikers started to join from a retail park, on the left. luckily for them, i slowed right down, to admire the bikes. as the last 3 bikers didnt even look right, they just pulled straight onto the road whilst looking left.
a few yards on i discovered they were French. might not have bothered to slow down had i known
all had shiny, nice looking, bikes.
i doubt theyll be having a very good tour, if they continue to ride like that though.

Why would you have all your luggage strapped to your back when you've got a spare pillion seat

Never mind the loose trouser legs / boot lace next to a chain.

I do like all the matching back packs though. It gives a certain feel of conformity.

Has to be some kind of organised tour could they supply the bikes too.
Looks like a recipe for disaster riding wrong side of the road on a bike you only just got on.

Backpacks appear to have a 3 legs of Man motif plus with the TT logo I reckon they all got them from the TT shop and they are on their way home from the the TT.

Some of those rear tyres do look very iffy mind.

Even the guy on the right with two massive panniers and a topbox still seems to be wearing one of those bags.

TT Isle of Man bags.

Probably on their way there, from France, or heading back. Or just on a tour of Britain. Seriously waterproof bags (they like stuff like that, don't they), plus all coordinated to have the same bag (likewise), suggests they're on a tour, from France.

the picture was taken on Friday 3rd June. and the group were heading for the M27. so likely on their way to the TT.

Looks like some seriously good blast Laughing going on there. Wonder if they came over on a Dingy like most from France.
