we all rode onto the ferry
That's different - a group of people on their own bikes. Done that loads of times. Problem is taking other people's bikes on if they are not there.
Must have been pre-Brexit, they definitely look at passports now!
I first heard of it from someone to do with the HPV Championships who said they were having issues getting the bikes across the channel

Sure but is there no provision for touring groups shipping musical instruments, wind surfing stuff, surfboards, bikes, literally anything over for use during a holiday but in different vehicles?
I mean, Brexit is fucking stupid so I guess, suck it Britain. But you'd think there'd be something in place? How do bands travel over? What about sports teams that have bus full of athletes and a truck full of bikes? How does Tour of Britain work with the EU teams?
hippy
I guess I presumed they could link them to the riders transit somehow. Maybe I'm asking too much.
We did similar in the past for L2P - we all rode onto the ferry and one person basically waved a list of names and I don't think they even looked at passports. Presumed it was pre-registered to save time for tour groups and that kind of thing.
Why would EUs be buying UK bikes that presumably you've paid VAT on? Or you mean bringing bikes back from the EU, pretending to be part of a tour group?
