Do I need a camping pass to get a motorbike on a campsite?
« on: March 24, 2005, 02:44:36 pm »
Having got tickets for 3 cars for Tertre Rouge for our group, someone else now wants to bring a motorbike to LM as well and squat on our campsite.

Does he need a camping site ticket to get his bike on the site, or  are they allowed on for free? (Or, if necessary, would a small cash inducement allow the bike on the campsite?)

Cheers

Yes most campsite stewards are wanting to see tickets for bikes.
BUT if you speak a bit of french and blag you way in by telling them your mate has the ticket who's on the site and use one of theirs for a few trips in and out on the bike they never want to see it again cos they recognise the bike

Yes you need a pass for a motorbike. How well you fix the passes to the windscreens of the cars - since the 'bike will be the best way of getting through traffic and down to Arnage and Indianapolis corners - is up to you.

Will I need to fix a pass to my arse, and how thoroughly can I expect them to inspect it?

yes, you need a ticket, but up to now we were never checked how solid the ticket was attached to the vehicle. Anyway, last year on Expo we met a bloke who managed to talk his way inside with his car without any ticket at all!!!. He told the guards that his friends were on the campground and had his ticket, all in german language so after a while they just gave up and let him go...
