Anyone used vehicle rescue direct - £22 for a single trip appears quite good?

Dave my RAC cover came with my works life/accident insurance cover. It may well be worth checking your not covered already. If not £22.00 looks a good price for peace of mind.

I nearly bought European Breakdown extension from eBike (my insurers) but they wanted silly money!! I've opted for single trip cover from
Â
http://www.breakdowndirect.co.uk/European-Breakdown-Cover/ for virtually the same sum (£21.80). At a quick glance the offers seem very similar with both backed by Axa Assistance.......

Out of curiosity can I ask those that are touring to France next week...... "who uses Goop or Slime type products in their tyres as a puncture preventative step?"
Â
Following the fettle day earlier this month and chatting with AliG I've bought some Goop but am still undecided whether to put it in or not......... :unsure2:. I also plan to carry a puncture repair kit.........
Â
Any thoughts?
2013 Brittany Mototaranis Tour - buzz750 - 17-04-2013
Never used any slime in my tyres, I think a repair kit is probably the best bet. With maybe a 12v compressor for finding the puncture. Saves using up the CO2 canisters. If I can remember where I put it, I'll be packing mine.

 I tried out my mountain bike pump on the motorbike tyres, it pumped them up surprisingly easily. Manual, nothing to go wrong or flatten the battery, you just have to use a bit of muscle..Â
It's a Top peak mountain morph. High volume lower pressure. Has a foot plate so you can generate a good pressure. Fits in top box a treat. Still carry CO2 under seat in case I leave the top box off.

Not cheap are they Lee? Think I'll stick with the leccy pump, doesn't flatten the battery if the engines running.
2013 Brittany Mototaranis Tour - leehenty - 18-04-2013
not cheap, but I pressed it into service 'cos I already had it for my push iron bike.
2013 Brittany Mototaranis Tour - drobinson - 18-04-2013
I shall have my compressor with me.
2013 Brittany Mototaranis Tour - buzz750 - 18-04-2013
Jobs a good un then Dave.
2013 Brittany Mototaranis Tour - BwfcDave1 - 18-04-2013
So we should a considerable number of a variety of puncture kits and several compressors between us. Just hope nothing happens on the way to the meet up!
Â
But then again I will have a puncture kit, co2 cannisters and a compressor with me!

Â
Has anybody got any plans for the journey from the ferry to the hotel?
Â
are some folks going straight there? Â Â Â Â are some calling in anywhere specific on route? Â
Â
I am thinking of having on a meander, probably calling in at Josselin on the way, any other ideas ?

We need to have a good old chat on curry night. I reckon it would be a shame to rush to trannis when we could have meander on the way. Spot of cake would be nice on the first day.
2013 Brittany Mototaranis Tour - catsbum - 19-04-2013
Is anyone staying at mine on the return?
