I hope to make it from J14 M6 if I can get time off. Looks like the German G2G is going to be too long for me so I may as well do this one. Should know on Monday when I go back to work. I hope to use the tunnel as I dont like ferries.

I'm thinking about it Dave, but I haven't mentioned it to Mrs Matlock, so not definate yet
. If I do go I'll be making my own way home and spending a few days at my Dad's place on the west coast, south of Nante. I suspect Ivan & Pete are up for it - what do you say guys?

I always liked the Honda CB500 - virtually trouble free, runs like a sensible bike up to 9K then goes a bit mental for a 500, handles well, easy to maintain and it's a twin!
