back from a truly memorable long weekend in Germany in the company of so many wonderful people. Top of the list - Ian and Brigitte - the hosts with the mosts. Not many pics as I spent too much time riding, eating and drinking. Ian very kindly gave me this to play with on the Saturday



what a bummer!

Will poach some pics from Ian when he gets around to posting them, or just check out his website

Big thanks to Andrew (ARbimota) for his company on the journey down and back and throughout the entire weekend.
We are already planning next years visit - you should too - you won't be disappointed!

glad you enjoyed it Garry.
I was pretty overwhelmed by the turn out too.
pics and stuff in a couple of days-

here's a couple of tasters:


Bimota total in the yard on Saturday:
3 x DB2
1 x DB3
1 x DB7
2 x SB8R
1 x Dieci
1 x Supermono
1 x SB6
1 x YB4
1 x Furano




I'm not sure if I approve of this sort of intimacy??

Howard and Paul were here again last night- Klaus and Ian came over again for a BBQ.
and I've just got back from a gentle 4 hour trip to the Rhein and back on the DB2 to see H and P off back home.
and I'm going out again in a couple of hours. . .
I was looking foward to a quiet week on my own !

Good to hear and see it all went well, pencil me in for next year, well mark it in indelible ink as I'm making my New Years Resolutions early this year.

Glad to see that GeeKay has found a new love in his life, when we went out with my DB2 and Db4 I found him caressing the Db2's bodywork and I had a deep sense that I should look away and leave him to himself for a few moments....Oh Er Mrs.....

More piccies please

[crankcase]

good one Steve
I'm looking foward to it already, just got to sort out all the remains of the weekend- 100s of pics, videos, cleaning up, wondering where I left my wife, finish off her YB4 etc.

Would have loved to have made it but as already mentioned work got in the way. Never mind, my last day at work tomorrow so as it stands at the moment, next years a goer (and all the doo's in-between now and then)

Don't worry Pomps, have you ever heard of "Barnes Syndrome"?

Its defined as a propensity to accumulate trinkets and toys in the hope of one day having the time to use them

Apparently its in the masculine gender only, one day, one day, and without work there would be no toys for that one day.

And coincidently, MY "one day" has arrived
Today is my last day of work...............for now
