Brill ta 👍 (I asked as it didn't look like Astroo in that pic)
I see Khulu'd high tailed it from his own thread. That's a helluva lot of miles each day for him.

Anyrode, it's been good ta. :thumb2
 
We made the ferry

Now in Rochefort.
We decided to camp tonight so we erected the new Hilleberg Tardis 3.

Must say I’m fucking impressed with the space inside !!

Looks great. The ferry you got....was it this one? Screenshot_20230624-173849.png
Just curious as I'm not familiar at all with this part of France. How did you get from San Sebastian ...motorway or other? Questions questions I know. :rolleyes:

Because this was Martin's idea he, very kindly, set up a Whatsup page for all attendees.

This evening he asked Steve10123 to send his location so I thought I'd send mine, to the group, too.

Martin replies by saying he wasn't asking me (I knew that) so I said he was "such a team player"

His response was to remove me from the group chat!

Make of it what you will!

I removed you from the group chat because you continue to be obnoxious.
You get invited on our trip and you repay that by pissing off everybody on the trip , including Ev, the nicest guy you could ever meet . The same guy who helped picked your bike up when you dropped it and the same guy who you called a ‘foreign twat’ as he tried three times to hand your phone back to you whilst you ASSAULTED a female guest having dinner .
Make of that what you will .
Yes, we know you have an opinion on everything but perhaps just SHUT UP occasionally.
Great trip guys, despite the angry Scottish man.

I am not an angry man but I now assume we won't be exchanging Christmas cards.
Yes we all had a lot of laughs and, sometimes too much beer and wine got in the way.
I've never been called obnoxious before so that's a new one to me.

I remember having to honk up the road to get that ferry on the last crossing.

I don’t ride quickly generally but I’m embarrassed to say I bolted up there at highly illegal speeds and just made it.

Lovely area

Iain , I don’t dislike you but I’m pretty easy going .
You were lucky not to get arrested when you assaulted that American guest .

But you probably don’t even remember the incident .

Iain, you are correct to think that we all have had a lough, even way before we have had a chance to meet each other, yet somehow you have have been on guard from a day one, like a dog with a bone, who have not eaten in a month. Everything we all have had to say, you were straight in for the throat with a blunt axe response.

When people enjoy (having a lough and some banter) their company at a dinner table, in and amongst other guests at the hotel, one would try not to drone out the rest of them and their conversations, whilst trying to insult his biker mates and to voice one’s opinion, on every topic at the top of their voice (think Brian Blessed)

You do not complain (sorry voice your opinion) to somebody who has allowed you to come on a trip (on a merit of a fellow forum member and a friend who has vouched for you, being a sound and likeable guy), about the roads being to twisty and to bendy and that there are to many villages and that we are stopping way to often, as for the 5 out of 6 of us, it has been exactly a thing that we all looked forward to, for months and months before hand.

We all have tried to help you with your requests on recommendations where to go, where to ride, and where to stay before your arrival to the wonderful Hotel del Oso.
Not once have you turned around and said thank you, for recommendations boys, but I have found somewhere else now, or that you perhaps prefer to ride in a dead straight line for a maximum amount of miles in order to achieve record high miles covered (I am certain there is a medal for such achievement somewhere) and that our suggested routes, such as N-260 or similar, are far to twisty for you. You just chose to ignore those recommendations. Instead you have chosen to be abrupt with your comments, such as “you not being helpful” or point blank “prick”, etc.
Certainly not the best impression to be leaving for a man of your age.

I shall not be regurgitating what has already been mentioned above… I am sure that you are aware of what it is that I am referring to.

I personally wish you best of luck in the future. May VR46 force be with you.

All the best.
EV
 
He left this morn.

Shame it went Pete tong you all looked like you were getting along fine.

Hottest day today, the outside pool is a godsend.

Yes, we were bathing in 34°-35° too, whilst on the move at a 100 European clicks.
 
I'm out, too much dirty washing in public..:(
 
Oh dear......a bit too much being said in public here.

I had no intention to air this in public but bizarrely Khulu did :

I removed him from our WhatsApp group because he was still being rude and punchy despite leaving a few days ago. The other four all said that they would not desire his company on a future trip due to him being unable to control his drinking or his mouth .

He left this morn.

Far from it . Five of us have had a fabulous trip .
I met Evskij on a trip four years ago and we have become good mates . This was our fourth trip in as many years .

I’ve made three new mates in Skid06, Astrro and Stevie4scoops and would hope the feeling is mutual .

The fact that Khulu decided to moan on here that he was booted off the WhatsApp chat says it all . He’s obviously oblivious to his actions .
As Ev said above he asks for help and ideas then ignores them all .

Five people quietly enjoying dinner in a lovely hotel after a great days riding with one person being told more then once to lower their voice and then the same person grabbing a lady’s hair and tugging hard causing her to shout out in pain, witnessed by her husband and children .
Utterly disgusting behaviour and lucky the family didn’t take it any further and call the police .

Anyway ,
Last night for us ( me, Astrro and Evskij) .
Had a great night in Rochefort last night
