The French 2022 Celebration of the H2 will be at Paul Ricard

[SAM]

Looks likely that I will drive down and spend time on tour. Visiting my sister on route. Come to event that weekend.

[Wolfie]

Nice one Sam, I just have some things to confirm and get sorted, then my decision can be made but it is looking like a GO!!
And you'll be over the Pyrenees side.. Hmmm

OK Luke, like Sam I don't think its worth just a blast down and a blast back, there are far too many good places to ride down there.. I just can't decide whether to go rideabout before or after the event..

[Wolfie]

OK I am going to book the Eurostar for early Thurs 9thJun returning 23rd.. I'll be semi retired by then so time is not critical.

Just need to get past payday (this month has been tres expensive)

I doubt that the H2 will be finished so probably take the S1 (again) and me new bird..

[husson73]

news about the meeting will come soon and I will ask to all who comes name and bike (type and color).

if you need some parts to finish your H2 say me Graham can help and you will give me back the parts when you will no more need of them.

[Wolfie]

Thanks for that offer JP, you really are a mate and a half.. But, do you have any Yamaha Parts?


I'll keep you up to speed on the Train booking..

[husson73]

Yes I have a few Yamaha parts as I own 125 twin AS3 E and RD 125, DTE 125, nothing important, just barrels, exhausts, pistons, seat and so on.
Train booking (for the tunnel only or HST -TGV?). If you need a bike from Paris say me. It would be my 69 H1 (with disc brake) as my mate Laurent who was in Spa on 2012 with my 69 H1 should come with my H2A.
My mate is mechanical engineer so he couldn't find the time to rebuild his 71 H2 or even my former HID/E he bought from me around 40 years ago!

[Wolfie]

I/we'll be in the Bikebus JP...

If I can get the H2 back i don't need to make a full tidy bike, just something to put on the track.. It all depends on when I can get the rolling chassis back from Shag's..

Meantime, I need to get the S1 working properly, she goes but is very stuffy below 8000rpm getting there isn't easy.

Borrowing some pipes from Sam at the weekend to try, will see if that opens up the bottom end. failing that I'll put the old 30000mile Barrels and Pistons back on, I kept them standard just in case like.

[husson73]

have an other H2B frame with tees and swingarm but it will be difficult to send this to you as the frame is stamped (have the title too excepted it's a merican title!).

[Wolfie]

Thanks again for the offers JP..

No worries, I will get things organised one way or the other... I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again, and I owe Greg a drink too if he will be there..I haven't forgotten..

The link on the French Webpage for registration doesn't appear to work, what do I need to do to book a camping place at the Track?

Good question Wolfie. And also for JP my previous question, what is the earliest & latest day you can camp at the circuit?

Saw your post about the Thursday morning Shuttle. I am still optioneering so go ahead and book and will see you down there at sometime.

[husson73]

registration is not yet opened but will be soon.
You can camp on the track after registration and paying the fees.
I keep you informed as soon as it comes.

[Wolfie]

Cheers JP, even though I can make out a lot of French on the French Triples site, I couldn't quite see what I needed to do.. What would we do without you?

Yep Sam is also aiming to make the trip Luke.. See you then then..

[SAM]

My situation has changed! My sister is not going to be in France at this time! Ann will not camp & it's a long way.
I am afraid we will have to give this a miss .

[Wolfie]

The Entry forms are available online now.. Copied from JC Maurins post on the French Triples site..


*******************Breaking News!! Bulletins will be available on the SRC website TODAY!! *****************

HERE: https://www.sundayrideclassic.com/50-ans-h2 in principle maximum around 6:00 p.m. or a little before.

I leave you the time to consult them,
to see the complete program,
free parade of 2 laps: it will be on the big circuit of 5.8 kms!!
Saturday evening barbecue,
T-shirts,
Photos, films,
etc.
including demo rides ( 6 sessions of 20 minutes spread over Friday Saturday and Sunday at a really low price of 219 instead of 319 €!! )

Only modification, no specific H2 runs at €199 because that would have duplicated the demo runs at €219 (and much less time on the track too) and it didn't fit into the track marshals' working hours.

I specify that JP BONATO is himself a lover of H2, and that he gives us cost price rates,
especially for the barcecue on Saturday evening!!

As you will see, maximum deadline to return your complete files: MAY 31, 2022 .
There will be no tolerance for latecomers who wake up at the last moment, since it's been months since we announced the event AND you still have 1 month and a half to do it from today. today.

JP BONATO therefore organizes everything, it's brilliant, including T-shirts, films, etc.
On the other hand OYEZ OYEZ comrades: it will take hands to take turns at the reception of the KAWASAKI H2 Expo Zone (we will be next to the Kawa dealer in Toulon to create a large KAWASAKI space) almost every day VSD and barbecue on Saturday evening. Get ready volunteers, we'll talk about it.

Finally, JP BONATO asked me to tell you about the parade: we will certainly be behind a Pace-car, with many advantages and few disadvantages: no need for leather, a secure motorcycle, a license, etc. .but obviously slower pace than in demos (for the trackers it's really top 6 sessions of 20 minutes at 219 € on the Ricard !!!).
WARNING: no "who spots the track on the 1st lap.. then who wants to overtake the car on the 2nd lap, NO NO!! Problems of insurance, security (again you can ride in jeans and trainers although not recommended), respect for the organizers, etc. If the parade goes well, JP BONATO promised a surprise.............

[husson73]

you're faste than me Graham.
Will do a sum up and say you what you get and what you should pay today but later.

[Wolfie]

Access is 35.00eu per person and parking for one vehicle is 15.00eu...

Tee shirt of the event is 15.00eu...

There is a slow 2 parade laps of the track included or you can do the main track event as above for 219.00eu, if you prefer.



Too slow JP..

[Luke Sharp]

JP,

Have sent you a PM.

[simonh2c]

Forms completed, fees paid, all sent recorded delivery.
Channel tunnel booked.
Fingers crossed for the weather.
See you in Paris

[Wolfie]

I posted mine off last night too.. How did you get a stamp for the SAE??

One of the Frenchies has received his SAE back without being sealed and all the contents missing..

Train (Chunnel) is booked for the Thursday am.. Bird is going, H2 is home and being rebuilt, I already have several issues to resolve. I may just put her back together as was, and worry about the modifications later..

[simonh2c]

F###, I thought I had done everything. I have completely forgotten about the SAE. I wonder if I can send one separately?
How did you get a stamp Graham?
