Completed last fix to my bike today, thanks to the welding skills of Gary C. and bumped into a VIP just as I was leaving his place.

Took it for a long ride home.. it rattles, vibrates like mad , has clutch slip and makes all sort of funny noises.

In other words, all is working perfectly normal and I am ready to go.

Hi all,

we've (Liesbeth and me) been to the camp-site last Sunday to check things out.

Very nice Camping, excellent coffee, good wash/shower/toilet facilities. 8-)
Decent size beer (Jupiler 33cl instead of Dutch 25cl size) :mrgreen:

but in order to know who's coming and how many, we've made a pre entry form.
download here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45387432/40%20y ... %20Spa.doc

If you're planning to come over please fill out the form and e-mail to
(don't pay in front for Friday night dinner :!: )
leon@kawasaki2-3cilinderclub.nl

I also had a last talk to the organizer of BIKERS CLASSICS about a parade lap, but Ducati was prepared to pay more money so they will have a go :( :twisted:
I hope to get an answer about getting reduced tickets for the event (half price ?)

we are also in the process of making a T-shirt, will be printed 2 sides, blue with white text/drawing
if you want one please mail me
the cost will be between ?10 and ?15 depending how many pre ordered

cheers and see you at spa
Liesbeth and Leon

Referring to Leon's pre-entry form, what is everyone doing about meals and BBQs, Bikers Classics entry?

I'm up for everything but don't want to find I'm doing the opposite to everyone else.

Er Leon

the northern lot plan to descend on your house, hope you have plenty of mugs :wink:

I think it will fall to me to plan the route to yours, we will take the non- motorway route, otherwise we will all be at yours for 9.30/10 :shock:

I thought we were just gonna surprise them Gary.. :D

Erm as for food, I've booked for breakfast and Friday night meal but Saturday night.. probly wander off to get something, somewhere local for a change.

The BBQ is always good, but I can never eat enough to make it VFM and it's always a scrum.

I dont remember you having slight hesitation when you were riding in and out of the tents at 5am at the NW Rally more of a Howling Wolfie! :lol: :lol: :lol:

5? I thought it was 4.. :D

Have you read yer emails John? I sent one out last night to everyone in the Northern ride..

Oh I'll go get a copy just a mo..

***************************************************************

Hi Guys and Gals

Just a quick note to chivvy you all along in case you are in any form of denial, it is now just THREE WEEKS to the bully off for Spa, I think most of you are organised and know where you are heading at least as far as the Ferry Terminal is concerned.

However, most of us 'locals' and those who join in along the way, visit the Fish and Chip shop in Newport, this is located on the old A63 (now B1230) which runs parallel to and about a mile south of the M62 between Junctions 37 (Howden) and 38(?) M62, this then means we don't need to pay the Ferry's inflated food price later and can concentrate on paying their inflated beer prices instead.

If any of you want to break their longer ride up. I'll be home all day and just about a mile from M62, J34 at Eggborough. Will be leaving here at around the 5PM mark, to visit said Chip shop, you are welcome to stop by and put yer feet up for a few hours I'll give you directions, literally within view of the Jct 34.

Compulsory Documents:-
Passports (of course).
V5s.
Certificate of Insurance (and check with your insurance that you have euro cover).
(Personal insurance is a bonus).

Compulsory Equipment:-
GB Sticker.
Reflective Jacket for Belgium, I read it as meaning, for the driver only, to wear in the event of breakdown at the roadside.
Headlamp adjustment.
It has to be said, in the case of the equipment, that we have never been pulled for not having any of these in place, but it is what the Eu law says according to the AA.

Back to the ferry.. I have given up trying to work out who is staying in which cabins, the keys will be issued at the loading ramp and I'll probly be last aboard so you will have to sort it out in the corridors outside the cabins, there are three couples so please give them choice on which cabins are best suited. (but please leave me a bunk somewhere!).

The Campsite.. I know most have pre booked cabins or caravans, if anyone hasn't booked anything yet then the campsite is Camping Spa d'Or, you can reserve online, I think at this late stage they will want full payment in advance.

Leon has asked me to pass on this pre order form for tents, breakfasts and other meals. if you require any of these can you email this form back to him direct as soon as possible so he can put things in place to make our stay as comfortable as possible, his email address is info@verschuren-fijnmechanica.nl

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fblv8s4drw00 ... %20Spa.doc

Please get back to me with any questions, requests, changes, insults, update, whatever.

See you then, then.


Wolfie Gra.
