You can go to the festival of a 1000 bikes any year, but you will never have the chance to do this again, caurse we will all be 6ft under 
This is a once in a life time chance. Don't matter if you go on a KH125,H2, MZ or a Gronda 400 Four , just being there taking in the ambiance will be enough

For once.... and only for once
... Del is 100% on the money.
I will not not allow myself to kick meself into my grave for not going to Spa this year. That is why I booked Tunnel and Camping for Spa.
And lets face it... it is not too far away to ride. If JP manages the Uk Rallies 3 times a year ... then surely we can manage Belgium once in a lifetime.

Del is right (I can't believe I'm saying that), but Spa and the Festival are on different weekends, so if it wasn't for the money and probably time off work, you could do both!

JP we have a spare place in the caravan.. It'll not cost any different so I'll put yer name on it...
Only trouble is.. it might be a double bed!
If it's good enough for Laurel and Hardy....

Leon has arranged with the campsite that we can do two nights, Fri and Sat... so say (or type) that you are part of the Kawasaki Triples gathering.
80Euros per caravan for the two nights. gotta be a good deal.

I've booked a caravan at the Spa d'Or campsite for the Friday/Saturday nights.
Did enough of the camping thing when I was a youth so I'm getting a bit of a wuss in me old age and appreciate a few creature comforts.
Anyway there's a couple of spare berths in it if any club members are interested.
No farting, snoring, puking, wanking, smoking, setting fire to it etc.

Message for Wolfie and/or Leon:
I've looked through this whole thread and seen no mention of a track parade, although it might have been mentioned on one of the other postings.
Anyway, I've received an e-mail from Keith Walker who is on your list of attendees, but does not use this website. The bulk of the message is: "I have just read that there is a parade lap and it has to be booked. Am i too late to get on the track or if so how can i apply to do this. I have booked the ferry to go with Wolfie on the Thursday. Sorry for leaving it so late, please let me know who to contact if there is a chance."
My first thought was he was confusing things with Mallory (easily done with the cross-postings), but if he is correct, could you (Wolfie or Leon) let me know whom to contact and I will get the message to him.
Thanks,
Gerald

I've just seen your question, in passing, regarding camping at Mallory. The plan is that we will have a sectioned-off area for those of us booked for a track session, but there should be space for a few more who are just turning up to watch. In fact, I will stress that when I next talk to the organisers!
This thread should now revert to Spa!!!

I've not heard of any parade.. Perhaps Leon knows different..
But Keith's going in the car anyway!

I'm still hoping on a parade lap,
but it's hard to get the organisers to give up a time slot for only a "few" H2's
Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2012 8:41 pm
by S2Gerald
According to Keith, he's taking his "British" H2, but maybe it's on a trailer!!!
It sounds like he just has to turn up and hope that a track parade has been sorted in the meantime, i.e. no need to "book"?!
