130 in a 110 I think would normally get you nicked, especially with UK
plates.

But with lots of apologising, smiling, pidgeon french and some semi gallic
shrugs / hand gestures, the nice madam and monsieur sent me on the way with
just a "Keep an eye on the signs sir".

Result.

You must be blind, as Tog, Ginge and myself approached the area every 4th or
5th oncoming car flashed the headlights. He was cunningly tucked into the
corner of said bridge behind bushes though.

Aye, I was sat down low in the cage, and there was greenery and armco
between the carriageways there.

Alright for you rufty tufty biker types being able to see over the armco ;-)

On the way back I was flashed a couple of times by oncoming traffic, both
times were for unmarked white peugeot estates parked in laybys on single
carriageway roads.

No gendarmes wandering around, but in the boot pointing out of the rear
window were two hoofing great big camera lens (about the size of pudding
bowls).

Crafty beggars these French you know.

Not that crafty - cameras that only snap your front end are not going
to pick up many motorcycles... Of course, you were in your Mini, so
fair game.

(It's a nice car, is that.....)
