Awol! You have a PM! Right glad you found us, and it's great to hear from you! It might be a c90 site, but there's some great lads on here with a wide array of bikes, so feel free to post up your exploits and adventures, I know they'll go down well, and I know I'd like to hear from you!
All the best!

no worrys bezza.
i hope to keep an eye on it and on my return i wil go to some events as i am always up for a giggle and see if i cant help organise a few aswell. i'v done a recky run,maybe we could do a c90 paris dakar.its cheap as chips and nearly safe. get a few victims rounded up and see what happens.
maybe even a c90 sidecar rally chanpionship.just a thought!
whatever happens i am sure i can turn many of my uselass skills towards the greater good of man kind and self presivation

Yo W! Glad you found us, as did M! Take it you got back ok then? You weren't tempted to follow awolsidestar in the end?
I shouldn't think there's many can take the pace, that you two set!
I got back very early Tuesday morning, bit of a grueller, but I was looking forward to my own bed!
I haven't got around to sorting my pics and vids of the event yet, those I've seen were a bit disapointing, it's hard to capture the atmosphere isn't it?
If ya have any pics please post them up, I and plenty of people passing through here would like to see them!
There's a few of us meeting up at Matlock on the Easter weekend, if you feel like dropping by for some mayhem, please do!
All the best, & keep in touch, Jim (Newt)

he he he , sorry jim (newt ) i carnt remember much about it , we thort you was bob !!! :oops: we dint do a very good job of getting back as the maggot wouldnt start after the rally :shock: , we had to get towed of the site buy the quad and hang around for a couple of hours outside the gate till a recovery truck picked us up !! :o , we then go taken to a renault garrage in the middle of knowere , waited for a taxi to come and we were then taken to a loverly hotel down the road :D , we then took of six days worth of stuck on clothes and thermals and danced around our room for a while , it took hours to get clean in the shower !!!!! , we had to leave most of our stinky socks and even my boots there :lol: , any ways after a nice hot meal of whole trout (deep fried ) and chips and a few bottles of wine , we got our heads down for the night , absolutly knackerd . a taxi then came the next afternoon and took us too munich airport 200 k away !! , on a plane to gatwick and then a one way hire car from there to home around 2am on tues morn , all this from the insurance company for the measly price of £101to insure the bike for the both of us !!!!! (included free euro break down cover ) how good is that ! :D :D

Brilliant pictures!
For other readers, these are the guys that had all the fun, without a doubt!
Longlegs and Awol showed the Germans how to party!

So is the bike lost then Longlegs? Will you go back for it when repaired?
I take it you'll be there next year!
And have you got any other adventures planned? Be sure to stay in touch!
Cheers!

Excellent! I hope you get her back ok! You'll have to post up the plans for the TT, will you be racing this year? I've never been, but it would be a laugh to get over there on the 90's and meet up! There's a chap on here VWHelmot, who has posted a video of himself overtaking superbikes at 80mph on his modified 90, dressed as a hotdog! Take care mate!

Ps, I've been looking at some of the photo's / exploits of you at the TT, You're a brave man! Or as Awol would say, There's something broken inside.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers!
