I sure hope so. It seems there were a lot of lightnings just before I got home. Lets hope the thunder doesn't come via the mail.

Strange thing: just at the exit where I left Gecko and Rabbitson the road was flooded. I hope you did get home reasonably dry. I think it was very local, because only 2 Km further the road was dry again.

By the way: my pictures are HERE

Getting ready to leave for Wissant:

What's going on here

Nicole was thinking that there was a new invasion:

Nice place to park the bikes:

A short break before every one went their own way:

By the way who was the guy with the video camera mounted on the back of his bike and where can I see the video ? He must have some excellent shots when we were riding some of the twisty bits

Didn't take a corner very well, but it was a great recovery. How he kept it upright in that field I'll never know.

And just to echo the sentiments, it was a great day out. First time I've been riding with so many tossers.

Now back where it was before I stuck my oar in. I'll get my coat

R Savage · Mar 22, 2004

Well done Richie and, unless I'm much mistaken, well done Judge.

Can the gent with the rear facing camera send me an email so that I can send him a blank CD or two and a reply paid envelope for a copy of the days riding in reverse?

Cheers Richard

Thanks Richie...

for a great day out, excellent luch and as ever great company.

I'm just negotiating a weekend pass with SWMBO for 8/9 May - hope to join you then!

Did anybody take a picture with me on it? I think I saw one of the back of my head - yes I know it's my best feature but it would be nice to have some evidence that I did go to France, and didn't spend Sunday down the pub.

Just got a phone call from home: the thunder came by mail today

in form of a letter that I drove too fast.

I'll have a look at it this evening and let you guys know what's in there.

richie · Mar 24, 2004

Surely only one of you will get the PV. (Process Verbal). Happened to me once two bikes on the photo nothing happened. Luckily as I was doing 80 in a 50 and the other guy was at lease 110.

Good luck Peter.

Rabbitson · Mar 24, 2004

Bad News there then Peter, I was hoping it was the weather as Gecko suggested!

Regarding the weather, it was fine until I got to North Brabant then it started hailing like crazy and along came a really strong wind for about ten minutes (I kid you not, I have never seen anything like it in Europe). Then it suddenly stopped and nothing else happened, very bizarre. Unfortunately during this time I needed to go across a long bridge, which was pretty frightening.

Made it home safe anyway and was glad to just veg-out on the sofa after a long weekend!!

Nice time though. See you guys again soon.

.....................Sorry to hear about you getting caught with a nasty speeding fine Peter

..........they don't mess about do they?..........how much did they sting you for, the minimum 150 euros???

Thanks Richie
