OK Raymond, keep me posted on both the dates please and I'll see if its possible to arrange. Zolder would be good as the Monster owners of Belgium (MOB) will attend and SPA I hear is wonderful. 1 from my Bucket List to be honest, whether its on 2 wheels or 4.
No worries Kope I just popped in to check out the bike (pictures didn't do it justice) and also to have my standard pani noise tested (107db). Keep up the posts. Might meet you again at a track day this year. AC:tongue:
Kopesy. We want, ne we demand, side elevations in HD for use as desktop wallpaper. So that we can all marvel at, had we the means, the lengths we'd all go to to properly bling and upgrade an already fine motorcycle. No birds hanging off it either. They can stand behind or make the tea.
I'm going to stick up my bike-build thread soon, thet will show how it should be done...rattle cans, bits of wood for brackets and braces and any old alli to hold it together... ;-)
To all interested : the pick up is now planned at Derby morning of the 14th feb. We then head for Winchester where MR will lay the last hands at the bike such as an official weighing session and then the official handover and a beer and a meal wit the lads at noon. this means we will pass London Twice ( once west coming from Derby - once south going home through Folkstone) As to celebrate the closing of this stage, i would like to buy you enthusiasts a beer either on Friday evening or saterday evening. the bike will be with us os could be a nice meet and greet.. don't feel obliged but if this sounds like a nice thing to do, i'd happily oblige. the place can be decided upon through a suggestion. If not possible or wanted, thne we would plan to ride home on saterday 15 th .. so let me know what's possible/wished for/optimal...
Koen, that's the same weekend as MCN bikeshow at Excel. There will be quite a few Ducatista in London!
Depends where you are talking, I will be travelling back from halifax, funny enough, that day but unlikely I'd make a beer in London
wedll if you guys can come up with a venue that suits most of you, i'm sure we'll make it there .. thanks for the MCN show tip... might go on sunday..
I'm actually staying over Thursday night somewhere in earshot of Halifax, Derby isn't far. Got an 1100 meeting to attend. Or Winchester suits Sat...cant see the missus letting me out on Valentines night to talk bikes ;-)
