The question is
has any one been in touch with the organizers of spa

As a back up plan we should speak to the guys that organize the festival of a thousand bikes??

Paint Job Looks familiar Nobby? Must say it blends in nice with Karen's Green whirly wheeler washing line :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mines underway at last, Lord Ritchie is as we speak rebuilding my crank yet again deep down inside the Somerset treackle mines :roll:

Has anyone got any clues yet as to how? what? & when we going?
Are we going in mass over four days or?

Speaking as SPSG leader :shock: no really Abdul & I were discussing this yesterday, we would much prefer to do it Leo Mollener style and take the A- roads route & take in the scenery & full ambience rather than mile after mile of boring motorway and do it over four days!!

Not forgetting guys France & Belgium shuts on a Sunday so no fuel!!! Myself, Nuts n Bolts and Nobby found this one out the hard way a few years back :roll:

leave on Friday & come home on the Monday sounds like a good bet :?: whats the general feel on this?

Delbertino :wink:

Fuel is not so much of a problem these days, as most petrol stations now have payment by card facility. Infact many are not even manned.You can also get filled up at the large supermarkets.

This is what I am hoping to do.

Card payment MAY be ok in Belgium , but it isn`t safe to rely on that thru` France. Some of their own banks cards don`t bleedin well work at Supermarket petrol stations.

There is an ice ride on the old A road from Brussells over to the Ardennes. ( Head toward Luxembourg )

But I`ve tried navigating off m-way routes from Zeebrugge before. Its nigh on impossible. Just go round and round in circles thru` ittybitty villages.

From Calais, theres quite a fast route over towards Messigny-Charleville ( Erm, did that from memory ) and then on towards Metz and veer North. But its loonnnnnngggg straights ( miles n miles ) with strong winds. Rubbish if its raining. And not many Fuel stops.
Probably best to travel in groups with one bloke on a sat-nav equiped bike for help.
Or, the old way, and right enough, travel on the Monday back. Ferry should be better rate then too ?

We should probably approach Kawaski Europe about this. Make it a sponsored event, with a close to the Paddock area for Triples ??

Did over 3000 miles a couple of months ago round France/Germany/Italy/Switzerland no problem getting fuel from supermarkets. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes we agree old chap, but for some strange reason they wont except all major credit cards as we found out :cry: Gary will back me up and tell you that we tried 4 or 5 diffrent cards & in the end we were lucky that a kind Johnny Foringner paid our fuel with his card & we gave him Cash in return!! :roll: :?:
