Is there any kind of plan for this trip yet starting to think that paris and back in four days will mean 10-12 hrs riding per day

Arnz

good point i dont think we really have considered the harsh reality of this trip, its gonna be hard work

And i also am wondering how many french people will want to donate money to a london based charity, dont they hate us? or is it we hate them? lol

dave-c

some info would be nice
we will need to stop a few times as alot of scooters are air cooled and i have got a track record for heat seizing alot of scoots in the past

Tee-rex

Tbh i think most people will struggle to get to calais and back in four days, paris is 440 miles each way at an average inc fuel stops and breakdowns of prob not much more than 15 mph thats near 15hrs riding per day if nothing major happens maybe a scooter ride to france ie calais would be a more realistic target or have two groups hardcore go to paris the rest stay in calais chase asylum seekers around drink beer talk ****

GHOSTIE

cant you get a train straight to paris? (with the bikes)

-Ludo

Ha ha its gona be hard thats for sure


Soon as this weekends stunt comp is over, we will get all the details sorted and post up all you need to know.

It is do-able, it was done last year. We are thinking leaving early friday morning witch will give us 4 days full riding. I think it will be worth taking money for the train if you think your bikes not going to make it

But if this trip was easy, then it wouldn't be worth doing. If we do make it all the way then great, if we dont at least we tried

From London to Paris using Calais is 269miles one way. Going via Dieppe is 245miles.

If we avrage 15mph, thats just short of 9hours riding over 2 days. Leaving us 2 days to get back. I thik thats very do able

dave-c

peice of **** cant wait
whats the 4 days then i thought i would be back for sunday?
also you say fri morning does that mean leaving london or somewhere else

CSL-STUNTZ

Guys, if i can make ESTORIL on a 125 Vespa in THREE days.

You can make Paris in FOUR.

-Ludo

Oh ye, i mean 3 days. Its cuz i have 4 days off lol well to be fair i have thursday, friday. saturday, sunday, monday and tuesday off. But i hope i dont need that lol

Its defo going to be hard, but it will be fun and somethin to remember thats for sure

CSL-STUNTZ

From my trip Lee it is ******* hard work.

My last day we did Bordeux back into London and rode for 22 hours or something.

The laughs you lot will have in a big group will be worth it!

AMEN

SF Dave

Are those mileages avoiding motorways & autoroutes Lee?
Might be a higher distance if not... And are you route finding the proper way, or cheating with satnav?

-Ludo

Yes thats without using any highways or motorways.

And we will be doing it the old way with a map. (scooter dont have a 12v plug for the sat nav)
