German trip was great. Weather was excellent with a couple of 30C+ days and some heavy rain, but mostly very good for riding. Excellent turnout of SRXs at the rally, brilliant campsite and stunning ride-out. Thousand miles round trip with topped off with a couple of nights stay in Rotterdam

Fortified Manor House (circa 1310) was campsite reception

Boyd,
Thanks for the photo's,
looks like there was a good turn out,TBA i wouldn't have expected anything less from a German club(they know how to organise)
in the second picture there is an SRX which is familiar to me

Hi Jules
The venue, Tonenburg, was Germanically excellent and well worth a trip if you are ever in the area. We didn't have it all to ourselves and there were several other groups meeting there at the same time. I would say there were over a hundred biker staying there on Friday night with only five of us camping.

I don't want to bore you all with the travel details - torrential rain, blisteringly hot days, wine, women, song, and lady boys etc. etc. But no doubt after a few shandies I'll recant the sordid details to anyone who'll listen!

The boxes worked fine and apart from a bit more dust there are just as I got them. The bike did fall over with them on in a garage forecourt - caused by me steadying myself on the wrong side whilst trying to take my waterproofs off - but luckily it was onto some sand and no damage was done to either bike or boxes. I will certainly keep an eye out for a set, but they never come cheap. And I think they encourage the taking of more stuff than is really necessary but they do allow better storage of Duty Free purchases. When do you want them back by? I will come down to Cardiff via Blackwood so give me the deadline and we can set a date! 

Thanks again for the loan. See you soon....


Boyd

Hi Boyd,
           I hope the brackets did their intended job without any problems?

Hi Ian
As it turned out I was lent a pair of Tourtech boxes for the trip so I didn't have to trust to my DIY efforts. But, as I have to return the fancy boxes soon, I will be debuting my rather more......ahem!.......vanacular style boxes at Martyns Birthday Do and, assuming they last that long, thence at the Annual Rally.

Will post the dosh asap!!!!!
