Classic Motorcycle Show 2012 – Part 3

The Family Truckster is out of intensive care after an enima of its cooling systems. So pleased to have it back on the road again #GTofI

Back in the UK. A lot has happened since I departed early on 18 April. Hadn't expected to return by train minus the Family Truckster #GTofI

On board now and headed for St Pancras. This is probably the best of the trains I've taken on this #GTofI. Soon my adventure will be over.

Taxi arrived right on time to take me to Gare du Nord. Arrived with plenty of time to spare so a good 90 min wait before boarding #GTofI

Got stitched up €28 for breakfast at the hotel. Huge buffet - didn't get value for money due to feeling poorly. One more train to go #GTofI

Once checked in I didn't venture outside again for fear of my cold worsening. This happened anyway. Woke up feeling very ordinary #GTofI

Got some meds courtesy of @TeamSky - hand delivered by team Dr. Later found out they are widely available at local pharmacies #GTofI

My hotel in Paris was Pullman Paris Centre - Bercy. Bit of a business hotel but location suited my original plans with the FT #GTofI

The train arrived in Paris Gare de Lyon slightly ahead of schedule. Pretty bleak day weather wise & I'm getting a cold #GTofI

Today's train journey was in my original plans. The FT was to go overnight on the Autotrain & I'd collect it on my arrival this arvo #GTofI
