Eurotunnel Le Shuttle boarding and disembarkation process

[@russelllocke7180]

You are so lucky to have such easy & close access to so many countries, all virtually at your doorstep. I love living in Australia & we too have some magnificent rides & scenery, but it’s so far to travel to new countries & experience different cultures throughout the world! Even harder if you wish to take your bike! Enjoy the 🇭🇷 Croatia trip & stay safe Mark.

Good to see the train again, went on it twenty years ago on a Yamaha 900 Diversion for a France tour. At that time they used a wheel clamp devise, you put the bikes front wheel in it and just got off it. No side stand or nothing. I those days there were not so many bikes used it. By far the best way to get over the channel. Good stuff.

When I went to France in June, just two bikes boarding, it was early. Easy way of getting to France, much better than the ferry experience...

Thanks for doing a video about that; i was only thinking about that very train the other day and how the GS would manage the metal sheets and bumps. Have been on the train many times with a car and forgot how low the roof is.

[@michalrybinski3233]

This video reminded me of one thing I was wondering recently. You guys are traveling around the world and have vast experience with local laws and requirements that riders have to meet in particular countries. Could you please share this knowledge in one or a series of videos discussing those in regards to European and other countries you know? I am sure many people would be interested and would benefit from this knowledge when planning short of longer trips :)

[@Christian-ve1wi]

Toby @RiderCamTv did a video a little while ago about Spanish road signs and traffic laws. Very very interesting. I hope they do more as this knowledge is very helpful and I think would e a great series for KZbin. I do understand that both Mark and Toby are also quite busy with the touring, blood bikes and their other jobs. Thanks guys for the great video though. Shared on CBG..

[@michalrybinski3233]

@@Christian-ve1wi yes, I remember it, but I guess more interesting for most riders as a first point of entry to Europe would be France and its laws. I read somewhere for example that you cannot have camera switched on and recording, also that you need reflective stickers on your helmet in special places on it, generally this sort of things that might be not known by people who are thinking about departing from UK towards mainland Europe - like me :)

[@Gerryinthewoods]

Well done, Mark. Enjoy this video...

[@keith4usa1]

BRILLIANT VIDEO THANK YOU MARK

[@Normal_Wisdom]

Nice one Mark, enjoy your adventure. Wish I was there.

[@tojj29]

Super slick operation.

[@MrHugawa]

cool... good info. Personally, if I were to use the train on my bike, I would want to see this...thx

[@justmejohn773]

Thanks Mark. This is useful. Doing the France/Germany Magellan tour in June 2020. So good to see what to expect.

[@markholroyd5365]

Hiya! Which tour is it you are doing? Have you transferred to this year 2021? I’m guiding the Black Forest tour in September hopefully. Ride safe.

[@justmejohn773]

@@markholroyd5365 Hi, I transferred to the May 2021 Spain tour but it doesn't look viable with the pandemic controls. Still fingers crossed.

[@scottc3]

Shame the journey to the Folkstone terminal is so boring. But you forgot to mention the best bit about riding off the train in France.......... that is when the adventure begins!

[@neiloakey5183]

Great video... an unknown now known.. thank you..

[@lynsmith1096]

Good and informative video Mark

[@tonyg1773]

Very useful - thanks!

[@tonyknowler3055]

Good video thank you

[@buddysinsight9834]

Thanks for this vid Mark I was a little worried about this. Have you ridden to Turkey before? Any tips. Excellent vid mate

[@jdstt900]

Thanks for your inspiring youtube clip. I'm traveling to the uk in june and was wondering how it works with bikes on the eurotunnel train. I'm surprized that bikes aren't secured on the train. I hope the train doesn't have to do an emergency brake. 🤔

[@marklloyd4153]

Cool beans mark

[@MikeS1150]

A couple of years ago I shared the train with a group of Harley riders. Came into Calais and one wouldn't start. Poor bugger had to push it off the train, considering the weight of the bike and the age of the rider it didn't look easy.

[@ScragNath]

I found the Aluminium chequer plate very slippery. It was raining on the day.

[@stags-gr8to]

Interesting video thanks Mark. Tell me, do all the bikers tend to ride with their feet hovering just above the floor?

[@RiderCamTV]

Ha! A lot do...

[@brianbrooking496]

Only the newbs.....

[@grayjohn1906]

Mainly the GS riders😁

[@ccooper8785]

07:50 I wonder how fast I can ride down the train? - Jeremy Clarkson (probably)

[@BikerandBits]

Was that you & Toby going south on the M40 on Sunday morning??

[@RiderCamTV]

Norfolk & Chance nope. I’m in Austria and Toby is out of the UK as well.

[@bobgraham4970]

interesed what you do durring the crossing is there a lounge or cafateria

[@RiderCamTV]

Bob Graham Hiya. There is no cafe you stand by your bike and chat to other riders... weird I know, ha!

[@IanTed]

Bob Graham Only on the train 30 minutes, just park up and stretch your legs...

[@MrRazvansogodel]

👍

[@deafoldgit]

great video guys thank you! have you done a review on the boots you wear? if so could you add the like! im old and cant see if you have, (maybe not) would love to know what you wear! many thanks...heart me 💙🏁👍

[@RiderCamTV]

deafoldgit I wear British Military Extreme Cold Weather boots which are Gortex and bomb proof. Check them out on eBay.

[@paulneedham3608]

what's happened to the BMW GS 850F

[@booshallmighty]

Dont often see a GS off road. Just about handled getting off the train. Impressive what these things can do. I feel the same when I get mine off the drive, onto the pavement. Not tried riding off the kirb yet but why be reckless?

[@bradleyalexander5821]

How much did the train ride cost?

[@RiderCamTV]

Bradley Alexander not sure check their website.

[@mrgari189]

Can be as low as £30 return for very short trips....
