Netherlands invasion?

[pete roper]

OK, some of you may remember me mentioning a while back that I've been roped in to doing a resto on this poxy Nuovo Falcone?

 

Long and the short of it is that I and the owner will be making up a list of munt that the horrible old sh!theap requires and since I'm coming to the UK next month it would seem like an easy and/or sensible thing to do to hop on a ferry from the UK and go to Teo Lamers where I can actually TALK to a real human being rather than trying to use their crappy and un-navigable website!

 

So who can a.) help me, yes I know that they probably have people thare who speak english but they probably won't understand me! and b.) come out for a night and introduce me to the dubious pleasures of Hollands finest hostelries????

Pete, I'd be happy to meet you and have you over. Schedule permitted. Only 300 meters from my home stands a beautifully restored Nuovo Falcone Civile.

 

Small warning; not much to do in my village, but I only live about 45 min. drive from TLM / Nijmegen.

 

When are you planning to come over? That way I can warn the authorities.

 

 

 

 

My neighbour's Nuovco Falcone:

Well, Pete, I'll be there if timing makes it possible. You can visit my shed too:-), not so far from TLM is a moto guzzi museum.

Make a list, another good source for Nuovo falcone is Barbara Escher I think. http://www.escher.de/ .

 

But if you have a complete list, you can send it to teo L before you go there.

 

here is a list:

Good move, boys. pete is even better live than on the internet.

 

For today, wish him happy birthday, as he's a half century old, now. You need to dink more, Pete, so you look your age!

I believe this is the bike of Monique, a Dutch Moto Guzzi club member.

Seems to be a nice and good looking girl...

Anyway, the bike has a history and this's registered.

[Admin Jaap]

Antonio is right.

 

BTW, has anyone heard from Pete? I have send him an email concerning his visit to NL, but got no respons yet.

[pete roper]

Hmmm, As I thought, my email is up the sh!t again. It's been patchy for a few days.

 

Jaap, I have a pathological hatred of cities, a small village sounds just about perfect for me Look, I don't know when exactly I'll be over but I imagine some time towards the last week of March. I'll try and communicate a bit more before I leave Oz but things are a bit busy here at the moment so it may not happen until I'm in the Qantas longe preparing for departure!
