Not going to go down the route of going over someone else's post and counter arguing it etc esp as I agree with many of Luke's points BUT it is mainly the Parisians that are rude, they are even ruder to other French people in fact anyone not from Paris!! Don't let those arogant gits put you off, the rest of them are not that bad, really, I know!!
Also got to agree with Pitt too, if you don't openly take the piss on their roads the coppers usually leave bikers well alone and the car and truck drivers really do go out of their way to let you through even to the extent of driving on the verge!! I was stuck behind 2 lorries overtaking each other at 1 mph difference as usual, as soon as they saw me in their mirrors they parted like the Red Sea in a Cecil B Demill (?) movie and let me through the middle, felt a bit like Bond!!
Oh and Luke forgot their absolutely shite 'popular' music, their radio stations really are to be avoided at all costs! Maybe we should script write for Al Murray......................!
