It's just too tiring at motorway speeds.
100 or 200 miles at 50 mph or less is lovely.
700 miles at 70-100 mph destroys your neck, back, wrists, ear drums & loads more.

Then there's luggage, weather protection & passenger comfort (not that my wife came with me this time...).

If (or more likely, when) I do this trip again, i'll use a bike more suitable for touring. I'm already having a sneaky look around Autotrader...

Do they still have those fast drive-on trains in France?

I was wondering if you could get one to cut out the grim North from Calais.?

We used to have a neighbour who had to take them to get to/from Paris because their battered Renault wasn't able to do the min speed on the autoroutes.
