Fuck me, these clowns do themselves no favours.
As I come out of the coffee place back to my bike, this Bell End haughtily tells me that the lady with the slightly lesser hi viz jacket wants my ticket.
He then informs me that I’ll need to put my helmet on to ride on.
Now I’m a chippy fucker at the best of times but my tolerance for arseholes is zero.
“Who the fuck put you in charge mate, sort your own shit out and fuck off”
He proceeds to sit with engine running for a good 5 mins as we move forward to the waiting point at the top of the ramp.
He even has a fucking hi viz band along his helmet.
Anyway, this fucking retard will not get any more oxygen off me. Wanker.
On ferry, shorts on. Coffee on.
Work calls and I’m off to Scotland tomorrow, v happy

Good Bits.
Bike faultless and ok for 200 mile days, bearable for 300.
Kit, vented kit ideal.
Weather. Glorious, I think about 10 seconds of rain in Andermatt, chuck point 4 uk bikes pulled over and kitted up despite blue skies all round ??
Hotels, cheap cheerful functional, off beat at times. I like remote places like night 1.
Route, plenty of variety. Maybe an extra day in Vosges be good.
Police, fantastic.
Bad Bits.
British truck drivers on return, honestly just shocking parallel overtaking. Easily the worst in Europe.
That’s it.
Anyone want any further details or advice on anything etc give me a shout.
And finally a UKGS Bedwetter Report Card
1. Dover will be a nightmare. 4 hour waits etc.
Reality, Bollocks, no queues at all
2. French police will nick you for minor offences. You’ll be jailed for 10 years and fined a billion euros.
Reality Bollocks. Could not have been more helpful.
3. Your bike will get nicked at least twice.
Reality. Bollocks, sensible precautions taken.
4. Your bike will tip over in ferry.
Reality. Bollocks, strap it right and chock it.
5. You’ll run out of fuel.
Reality. Bollocks, no issue anywhere.
Etc etc etc.
Just go touring with sensible steps.
