    Bikers banned from Paris tunnel

    Bikers are to be banned from using the new A86 tunnel in Paris – because they might scare other road users!

    According to FEMA, the ban is because “motorcyclists may cause stress to other road users” and they if they stand up on their footpegs to ride through the tunnel, they might exceed the two metre height restriction!

    FEMA has written to French President Nicholas Sarkozy, asking him to live up to his promise that “no road should be banned to any road users without good safety reasons”.

    Don't forget also that they might try and take photographs of the occupants of any black Mercedes going into the tunnel.

    I'm guessing that more bikers will be travelling through that tunnel after the ban than before...

    We all know how french motorcyclists are:

    Are motorcycles with engines making more than 100hp still banned in France?



    Never been there, but if the Frogs I've met overseas are any indication as to the national mentality, I don't ever want to go there.

    Inefficient bunch of up-themselves whingemonkeys.

    Shoulda just let the Germans 'ave the place.

    The French women do have great accents though, and are generally arousing, particulary when they walk up behind you in moto shows and whisper in your ear GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
