Horizons Unlimited meeting 8,9 & 10 September Belgium

[Gecko]

See you there

Well that's at least 5 from UKGSER going then . I'm going to try and get there on Thursday night if I can get away from work on time - that way I nick the best pitch

 

[fritz]

Be there then too - if manage to juggle GPS, map and the difficulties of riding abroad

 

[short001]

I think Macca and me will be heading there on Friday, or early Sat morning (if there is no major crisis between now and then )
Hope there will be plenty of

 

[TERRY RYAN]

I was going to go but ferry cost did me in

so Princetown Here I come


it was a cold and windy night

 

[Mike Werner]

Depending on a few factors, still planning to attend, together with YoYo (advrider Boxerboy) and Advrider Killerpreen..... all have other engagements, and all trying to get out of them.

 

[kevhdr3]

tunnel cost about £35 if you book a few days in advance

no can do me old fruit, it wants me to log in

And even when I do log in (being a Photobox member) still no joy.

 

[MiGSel]

Alright then I'll post some

This is the crappy location where it all happened:

We weren't offered a bed inside though

This is their G/S next to my G/S. Spot the differences

Interesting panniers...

Ever heard of R1Sjaak?
He's got some amazing stories to tell, after a 5 year RTW on an R1
Here he's "admiring" my bike while brushing his teeth

This is a closer look at his off-roader

We had a little adventure of our own. Here's Gecko leading the all-road ride:

And Fritz doing a splash:

After all the hard work, Gecko (man with hat) had to relax in the yoga lesson.
Which had nothing at all to do with the cute girl leading that of course

You can find some more pics here.

All in all, a fun week-end and loads of interesting people.

Cheers,
Michel

 

[Gecko]

Sorry about the link : try this instead http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/3962113

....and MiGSel was right my doing the Yoga had nothing to do with the ever so gorgeous Tori who was making me stretch bits of me that I didn't think were meant to stretch. She's based in Cardiff so look our for Yoga for bikers coming soon and going and try it for yourselves

 

[fritz]

No time for piccies the now, but great event, and thanks to Gecko & Michel for the off road ride (I'll repay the favour in May )
