Much has been said about the pro's and con's of using ferries when travelling by motorbike, and not surprisingly the topic of how to secure/tie down your machine whilst on board
I thought I would post this link which I think highlights the requirement to make sure that your P & J is properly fastened down whilst on a ferry
BTW I did LMAO whilst watching this, especially the big guy in the stripey top :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

Did a force 12 from Portsmouth to Santander back in the 80s.
Trashed most of the cars on the car decks.
I spent most of the trip strapped into my bunk.
Interestingly you can get used to the smell of puke if yer in it for long enough.
We came back from Shetland after spending one Christmas there and our trip took about five hours longer that it should have because of the weather. We didn't see anyone else during breakfast. The drive back home was quite 'interesting' as well because of the snow.
I thought all of the tables and chairs we chained down or bolted to the floor on the Shetland ferry as it's often rough but perhaps I'm mixing that up with the Orkney ferry where they definitely are.
Edit: Ah now I've read the comments I see it wasn't the ferry.
