  1. Thanks for the positive comments on this subject My last post was at 20.24 on the 27/07/2009 ,By 20.50 I was on my bike and heading north some 491 miles to the tunnel . Not a bad run five hours and few odd minutes but that did not include filling up just before the tunnel. Now on the other side it was much better ,more vehicles on the road even at that time of night  and they drive on the wrong side ! Made the 132 miles to the john Radcliff hospital in 58 minutes .   “Why  the dash”   Well all you posters that have climbed   up on your all mighty box to tell me how wrong I was ,are as guilty as the cage driver who when questioned by the police  said “SORRY OFFICER I DID NOT SEE HIM”     I was lucky I got to spend the last five hours odd with a long time friend that has now left this world .     After 31 years riding motor cycles 10 of them racing at a high level and to many miles to count . I moved to France and enjoy the respect and space that the French drivers  give motor cycles , In the five years that I have been hear it has only been Brit plated cars that have pulled out on me “sorry mate I didn’t see you “ I still ride fast and enjoy it and still have a clean license and have had for 30 years!   So stand on your boxes all you wont
  2. Thanks Bugbare I need to make a quick dash and I mean a quick dash to oxfordshire on the FJR1300 I know I can do the tunnel to just north of oxford in just over 75 minutes Ish just have not done the road for 6 years so its going to be one hell of a light show !!

  8. I wouldn’t use fibreglass valley trays they do not work very well with plain tiles As your in the UK you could bring some valley tiles over with you  or just close mitre The tiles and use a Zink soakers then the Zink would not be seen  and all you would see from the ground is tiles and no big gap up the valley

  11. Glad to see that you are not selling the bike and have enjoyed being out on it. After 30 years of roofing my Knees are shot and give me content pain (that’s why the R1 had to go in 2000,riding it was just as bad as being bent up on a roof all day) The fjr is more up right so not as bad. It is funny how after the first few miles the adrenalin and concentration are the best pain killer you can get and its free. Now if I can just get back  on my feet after trapping  my sciatic nerve ,Finish the roof that i have half completed   I will be back out on the bike.   Keep popping the pain killers keep rubbing the cream and keep going out on that bike   All the best
  12. Hi Liz Is it getting a bit sticky getting the bikes in and out? Can’t help you with your request but if no joy from hear try Posting on hear http://www.totalfrance.com/france/forum/index.php you never know
  13. I hope that the sale of your bike is just to get a new one and not due to bad helth. I hate to see any one have to give it up all the best
  14. If you board your roof you do ,certainly NOT have to use battens down the roof to keep them in line . You can use them across the roof if you uses new  bottom tiles with nibs on them , But they can still and our still fixed without battens
