A good no nonsense guide. I like the "just shove it in your pocket, no one really cares" That tends to be my attitude once i'm on site.
Thank you! Hopefully it’s helpful and cuts out some of the unnecessary chaff and stress for folk
Well explained…iv traveled by train many times on bikes. Highly recommend it to ferry..smooth and a fraction of the time.maybe a strapping system could be used like on the ferry to stop bikes lurching forward.be aware tall riders with flip up lids.. head clearance is limited….👍🇬🇧
Thank you very much for the clean explanation.
In two months I will travel to UK with my bike by ferry and come back by tunnel.
Your video helps greatly.
Thank you Timmy! Where do you plan to visit in U.K.?
@@TangoPasty I'm currently working with an on and off schedule in Lincolnshire.
I plan to bring my bike over from Holland next time. So I would probably ride around the surrounding contryside in weekends.
And at the end of my next rotation, I plan to ride to London and join the BSMC show, then go back via the tunnel.
I found out last year, if you are riding a trike you will be waved to the front of the bike queue as you are loaded immediately after the cars, trikes can't be parked at an angle like bikes.
Thanks for the info mate... Much appreciated... doing the tunnel for first time in Sept..I usually take the ferry. - this is just what I needed.
I don’t think I’d use ferry again, this is so convenient and no stress if you’re running a little late
How did the crossing go?
Cheers 🎉
Thank you for this
We are planning our first trip to France next year and this was really helpful I have watched a lot of your videos on the tv which won’t let me like the video or comment but just wanted to thank you and really enjoy your content ! Keeping it real and not trying to show off
I’f you could give any advice to going to the Alps time of year or something we can’t miss please let me know
Thank you!!! Really glad you like what we get on the channel so far. Coincidentally we have just completed our ride around some of the French Alps so will be popping on the footage over the next few weeks. Give me an email if you want more info, john@motoventuratours.co.uk and tell me where you’re planning to go.
Happy to share GPX files too if you need them
Cracking video mate, taking my Busa to Normandy in July for the first time, excited about using the Eurotunnel but also a bit nervous, good video 👌
Thanks Simon! Crossing again myself of the morning of 6th July. Tempted to pop across in June for D-Day 80 too!
Looking for others’ thoughts please on current motorbike parking procedure on the Eurotunnel trains, and why we park facing left. Love using their service, however last time we used it with the bikes, the train driver had to apply slightly firmer braking pulling in at the end (nothing major), and some bikes then literally domino’d into each other causing some damage. Would there be more advantage for bikes to park facing right, so that any extra force (caused by unanticipated train braking) is then applied against the side stand? Is the current parking procedure (left-facing) the safest, if train braking can negate the side-stand? After this incident we will try to park up with more space around us in the train (if able of course), should the same happen again. Really interested in people’s thoughts please 👍
Really good point. I’ll take up the challenge in asking Eurotunnel for the rationale behind parking to the left. Was anyone the damage paid for by eurotunnel or did they give you the standard ‘at your own risk’ reply?
@@TangoPasty we were lucky, but the three riders next to us (who couldn’t catch them in time) got a Eurotunnel form to complete. I’m unaware of the outcome.
Great video will be going to France in the spring, subscribed cheers
Subscribed also, alway up for some advice choosing beer! We are currently putting together our French features from last month. Part one iof Insanity went on a couple days ago 👍🏼 Where are you headed in France?
