Belgium Ferry

[Stuart42]

Hi all

just had a thought, ow, does anyone know if Norfolk Line tie the bikes down for us?

I ask as I know some don't now and also when I used their service to Ireland last year they did try to tie it down but with 2" wide ratchet straps, I know it was a freight boat so weren't used to bikes.

Just thought I'd ask.

see you all Saturday

Cheers
Stuart

Just spoken with Norfolk Line
They will supply straps
WE WILL HAVE TO TIE THEM DOWN OUR SELVES

thanks again for sorting it, i managed not to vom on the ferry :)
however, on the way back i needed to badly all of a sudden so that's why i disappeared at medway, waved to gadget on the way off so figure you'd all just carry on home.

did the deed and then had an attempt at giving chase, actually managed to do what i failed to do all weekend :scratch: (ride with some degree of confidence)
even though i exclaimed a 'blimey' going over the bridge as it was a bit windy and my fur blew off! (which was handy when it started raining as it stopped the rain getting in my pants)
which was just as i flew past the petrol station glanced over and thought i saw GTs trike .... of course it was too late to stop by then. however, thanks for putting up with me that long though, you could have been home and dry if i'd not been holding you up.
hugs all round and the next round is mine if you'll have me out to play ever again.

Yes it was a quick decision to put on waterproofs at Chobam services on my part

Just as well I did - it lashed down and I would have got soaked

Glad everyone got home ok

The rain chased me back to home but I managed to miss it. Im sorry I held you up with me stopping and still dont know what was wrong. It was slowing up but not engine just binding somewhere. I reckon it may be back brake as GT you said a squealy brake and mine was starting too. It may be that.

Ladybird you was great company and I for one was glad a female made the effort to come along. Its a real shame we didnt get you any other female company to join you.

Wait til Thuli reads that!

Thuli doesn't count, she is just a foxy motorcycle pillion accessory. ;)

Im sorry I didnt mean it like that. Rob and Thuli were based down the road somewhere else. We really only met up once for dinner and Day out.

[ladybird]

aww thanks, i've come over all shy now and blushing

(if i were a foxy accessory it wouldn't have been bad though, although don't tell the restaurateur on the ferry, he nearly had +4 coffee on him)

There was an accident on the A13 near grays, so had to divert across country, as did half of south essex!!! gerrr!
Anyway had a great time roll on WDW next year.
