... sufficient time (or skill!). So me and the bike head for the grass verge and a massive chuffing rock. I think I hit the rock (I must have as there were scrape marks on it) and flew over the top, onto the grass and down goes the bike. Once I met back up with Rocket and Monty and we pulled in to ...

Re: French Fuel Strike

Hope it gets sorted for you guys.

Watching the news there is fuel available and being rationed to 20 euro per transaction so enough for a tank fill up on the bike.
