"I want to go left!" "No way! We're going to the right!" Never seen that. A real prototype or photoshopped?

This one:

After taking the long and winding road north through Germany I'm back home, feeling very tired. Speaking three languages for a few days is quite strenuous. And all that beer didn't help either... Last thursday I was a bit nervous how the rally would turn out. But this afternoon I was convinced it was a success. Just a few keywords: Perfect weather, Hotel La Chaussee and their very friendly, helpful owners, Beautiful bikes, The Benelux G&B STW meeting, Nice cold beers, Good food, The nice tour to the Rursee, The unexpected high turnout, International understanding, Fun with firestarter Antonio (he said "wood", huhuh) And the most important: Very nice people! A big thanks to all who joined the Anniversary Party and also to all the people who visited us during the (Satur)day! For the time being my pictures are stored here. I hope all of you got home safely and I hope to see you all soon. (FWIW... I'm seriously thinking of doing this next year again; I'll let you know sometime this winter)

The cylinder heads look a bit girlie... Nice specs though.

Problem is Brian that in Europe (Netherlands) lead shot is not readily available on every corner as it is in the US. (Just a warning... if this turns out in a gun thread I'll close before you can spell NRA)

That hurts...

Most Dutch cable tv providers have BBC 1 and 2 available. If you're lucky you can watch the game on the 14th at the hotel in Limburg!

Same here... Even after the dike accident, where I dented my front rim and bent the lower triple tree, the fork stayed leak free and straight. I'm riding over 14.000 kms with the fork now.

Yeah I know, I'm a smart ass... Sorry for sharing, Antonio

Ballabio is a small town near Mandello where there used to be hillclimb racing events. Bellagio is a small town on the other side of Lake Como.

That looks terrible. Glad no one at the rally was hurt.

Focus. Now you're talking. Great Dutch band, but what a shame that Thijs van Leer (flutist) TRIED to sing in a lot of their songs. Two other hit songs: Sylvia and House of the kings

Congrats Ben! Great bike.

Orangeokie, thanks for your donation!

#000! You'd think they'd start with #001, but Luigi in Mandello surprises us again!

About "Motorrad" magazine: That's by far the most overrated waste of paper there is in the world. If there is a BMW in a comparison test or whatever other german products they amazingly lose their objectivity. I take tests from "Motorrad" with a truck load of salt. One thing they are right about: the Conti Road Attacks. Great tyres.

LINK TO REGISTRATION FORM We're sorry to have to do a formal registration for this V11 Rally, but otherwise there is no way to keep track who's definetly coming. And with this information the hotel owner knows what to expect. So if you are coming, would you be so kind to fill out this form? (Even if you have already sent us an e-mail) Thanks!
