[MickDB1]

Thanks J-P for all your patience with me and useful advice
I have been out doing what you advised and I think I am getting better at it
Hard to dump 39 years of bad habits but I am out too impress you at the next Dutch event - I will get you a beer as well
Could you please thank all the event organisers
some I didn't get around to thanking - It is again one of the best events of my year
Also welcome to the UKGser forum you will find many good tips on this site

Sorry Mick....I just have to post this one. Definately one of my favorites. Best I could tell from watching, J-P and you had some serious one-on-one discussions.

Top man is J-P he said I was his best looking pupil of the weekend and he wished he had my hairstyle and happy nature
seriously he is a top technical rider and a perfect english speaking riding tutor
His last statement , as I remember, was practice what I have told you and come back next year, and the year after, and the year after

No need for thanks, it was our pleasure. "We" ( organisers and all volunteers) take pride in trying to make each Easter meeting better than the last one.
As for the learning part, everyone knows "bad habits" are hard to get rid of but this does not mean you`re a "bad" motorcyclist, as I`ve told you on the day. With over 30 years of experience and still alive in one piece (regardless of what your mate told me on the day ) , you obviously do it right! It only means there`s always room for improvement.

Thanks for the compliment though. I learned most of my English through watching Sunday Grandstand, Pot Black and Sunday snooker. Your baldness was somewhat appropriate All kidding aside, I had a blast instructing keen "pupils" and i`m glad you enjoyed it too!

Fantastic photos J-P
Thanks for sharing.

I took a load (though no where near as good) including some of the beach antics that might wake a Mod or tow up

i'll try and post 'em later

Also got a few inspirational pics from our post rally travels down to Luxembourg, now that IS an underated GS destination

Downloadable? How? I've tried and all I get is a link to the entire slide show

There are (at least) four shots of me being (not so) adept on the offroad that I'd like to grab but I can't?

If it's a copywrite issue I'll stop trying, but I'm doing a PP prez to some friends next month in an attempt to get a load more Brits along to the next one (Belgique) and the one after (Nederland)

You mean this naked guy?

That must've been a rivetting read...

Here`s how to download the pictures:

If you`re on the main page ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsandre/sets/72157626576483624/ ) you select one particular photo you want to download by clicking on it with the left mouse button ( let`s say this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsandre/5654023927/in/set-72157626576483624 ;-) ).

You`ll get that picture in the next link. now, you click on the picture with your left mouse button again and you`ll get a different page with the same picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsandr...5654023927/in/set-72157626576483624/lightbox/ )

In the new window, you`ll see in the right top corner "View all sizes" and you select that and what you see is this page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsandre/5654023927/sizes/l/in/set-72157626576483624/ and now you`ll able to download any size you want.

I hope this explanation works for you.

Thanks J-P, that has been very helpful (for a Flikr numpty like myself )
The pics you took will compliment my own (inc. the naked beach-biker above ) and will make for an entertaining slide show. Let's hope it inspires some more Brit GSers to venture abroad next Easter and beyond

CoGS & Lisa

We'll be there anyway
