New front Anakee 2 required as I was on pretty much slick

After getting pissed on on way to Dover was glad to get on Ferry, hooked up with a guy on a FZR600 who had his house with him including a guitar slung over his back!

 

[CuzGS]

1st stop Brugge, one of my favourite places in world Day 1 Countries 3

Mandatory stop to get chocs for girlie

 

[CuzGS]

Mandatory Brugge bridge shot, day 2 and unbelievably save one 10 min period it was dry all the way from here, v lucky indeed

 

[CuzGS]

Stop off in Bastogne, scene of fierce fighting during war, the museum is well worth 30 mins of your time if passing at all, and you get a GS / Tank moment free

 

[CuzGS]

One for the ladies......................

This was on way to Pirmasens which i used to fly into many years ago..........

 

[CuzGS]

Countries now at 6 Eng, Fr, BeNeLux, Ger

Campsite on edge of Bodensee, not too touristy at that time of year and a fab location, spotless campsite too

 

[CuzGS]

Bodensee sunset, lovely place to spend the night, Alps tomorrow

After a pre planned oil change, a kindly german couple disposed of the old oil for me, why..........long story and v dull......

I don't think he's finished yet.

Here's a tip for writing a ride report I heard a while bike. Write it all onto a word doc including all the photo links from your photobucket account and then when your happy with it just copy and paste onto one post. Doing it this way avoids running the risk of hitting the wrong button on here and loosing it at the very last minute.

 

[CuzGS]

I was trying to work out way to do that

My photobucket playing up at mo so having to compress via photo suite long hand, will compress and post more tomorrow, solenoid alps shots honest

Good tip for pasting from word , once lost one of my trip reports by pressing wrong button.

Why didn't you change your oil before you went or am I missing the point?

 

[Piaf]

Why didn't you change your oil before you went or am I missing the point?

Because it was pre-planned and the German Couple must have been waiting to dispose of the oil

Looking forward to the next part.

What did Fanum do with my old oil on the first Morrocan Muckabout ...
