just out of plain interest if you were riding abroad how would u ride and would u be aware of the kmh/mph difference?
comin back down dunkirk hill i got stuck behind a convoy of italians on cruisers traveling 20 mph down the hill which is a 40, when they hit the national speed limit they sped up to 40.
if a copper was there the bunch of em could've been done for going too slow.
i'm sure brits in foregin countries generally get done for going too fast! u think they're trying to make a point?? :-? ;D

Dont know about that whole conversion to mph (to complicated) if your going to fast and get pulled over just flash your eyelids at the coppers (works over here lol)
Sorry abit off the thread.. would be nice for some of the WB clan to take a ride abroad. couple of days in france. or the whole whack (long way round lol)

It would be moere like the 'Wrong way round' if us lot went to France!
Mmm, I was just thinking the same James! If you do go abroad as a bunch just make sure everyones mobile phones work over there!
It's good fun abroad in a crowd. :)

hmmm thats probably what those italians were thinking "lets ride in a big group in england and see how slowly we can go.... it's bound to be loads of fun when they're desperately trying to get home to watch the footbal! " ;D
