I`d have to say that one of the big differences between a protest by bikers here in France and in the UK is that generally the French people in generale like bikes and bikers. Anyone who has ridden here will know about the way the French drive into the gutter to let you pass.
You will also never be turned away from a campsite, restaurant etc in France for being dressed in a leather jacket or carrying a crash helmet.
I attend a number of rideouts over here and the police shut roads, junctions etc no problem. Cant realy imagine that happening in the UK!
All admirable qualities!
