My trip to France

Good evening everyone, hope you are all well.
I had my first trip to France last year on a classic bike, my 1947 M20 (with WD motor!)
I’m sure that lots of you guys have visited the Normandy beaches many times before but it was a first for me and a truly humbling experience. I managed to camp every night.
Apologies that some of the photos are the wrong way around!

Nice shots, Gino.
Good to see M20s everywhere.

An adventure to remember, thanks for the pictures.

Very well done Gino. Some familiar sights there! Did you ride over the Alps?

PS I recognise the sidecar outfit. Did you meet Lucy?

Re: My trip to France

Thank Ron,
I would have loved to pass over the alps on it but nothing quite so glamorous unfortunately…
Not relishing the thought of over 200 miles on UK roads I hired a van one way from Manchester to Portsmouth then off to Cherbourg. I did the same on the return trip.
Yes, I had a chat with Lucy, we were in the queue together on the homeward bound ferry. I loved the outfit! It was reluctant to start as the traffic started to move towards the ferry but it eventually burst into life.
A great experience, I’d love to go again, if not the D Day anniversary maybe a trip to Europe.
Cheers, Gino.

Re: My trip to France

Ha Ha Gino. It was your name that made me think that you had come from Italy. But now I look back over your pictures, I see English plates.

Lucy is very brave. Her engine is really down on compression. It was almost un-ridable when she first got it, but I fitted a steering damper to it which stopped the serious handlebar wobble.
