Anyone remember Black Nails and Burgers?
Our response to the Black Tie and Pie thing the car lot used to do where there was as much talk about what watch you were going to wear as the event.
Remember a few had watches drawn on their wrist. Good times!
I remember it but I didn't get to go. Our response to the Black Tie and Pie thing the car lot used to do where there was as much talk about what watch you were going to wear as the event.

I used to love the runs up to hartside, it was always a good day out and a lot of miles covered. Died off years ago and a good 5-6 years since I’ve seen anyone from here.
Yep, It used to be good crack.Ditto in Kent. We had some great meet ups and ride outs and I made some life long friends.
Just back from a quick return trip to southern France: Portsmouth to Caen ferry last Friday night & then a 10 hour D road trip to see family, doing the same in reverse on Weds, back home yesterday.
By some way the longest trips I've done and also lost my ferry cherry - it was epic. I've driven cars in France quite a bit, but am always amazed by how empty the roads are once you're a short distance away from the big cities.
Got lovely dry roads for the whole trip (apart from some of the UK bits).
Each to their own of course, but I never understand those who say they take autoroutes to get out of 'boring' northern France asap when doing a European trip, there's fun to be had within 10 minutes of the ferry port - maybe Caen is better in that respect than Calais or others though...
The GSA was the perfect tool for the job (for me) - loads of fun, endless comfort, effortless speed, 300 mile tank range, heated everything (the weather was bloody cold), luggage capacity to spare. Very happy.

Well done on the trip! There's nothing as good as a Euro-tour on your bike. By some way the longest trips I've done and also lost my ferry cherry - it was epic.
