Didn't all go smoothly, during the ride down on Friday bike started pissing out fuel from overflow, couldn't stop it at the roadside so decided to continue onto Normandy, used about twice as much fuel as normal and bike would only run properly at over 6000rpm.
Pulled out the carbs & stripped them down at the B&B Friday night but couldn't see anything wrong put them back together and got all back on the bike Saturday morning, no leaks so well chuffed but can't understand what the caused the original problem.
But all in all a great weekend, would recommend Normandy to anyone thinking of going.

Pity about the bike playing up, but sounds like you enjoyed the trip nevertheless. What did you see/where exactly did you go? Pics? So many WW2 battlefields I'd like to see, and maybe will one day, if I can stay shiny side up for long enough :lol Was probably safer being zeroed in by German 88s than riding my bike - the hedgerows of the Norman Bocage have nothing on Welsh ones :rolleyes :lol
