I've ridden a few hundred across northern France before on the Triumph, sometimes in the pissing rain. The last time was bad enough that I didn't ride my bike again for over a year. Certainly if I ever do that kind of journey again it'll be by car.
Mind you the worst one was just a trip to Southend and back on my Primmy. I felt like I needed a new spine by the time I got back to London.
