Toeski,
If you are keeping alist for RTT07 you had better cross me off for the time being (check the recent posts in "For Sale")
Still might get, but at the moment the green and crinkly is calling
Enjoy the Beer and Bratwurst and have a few for me

then discovered it looks to be in the middle of my academic finals..
pants
Done: Homo sap navigation/ twisty thing on bars to make it go vroom/ grabby thing to make it stop (in front of twisty thing)/ 'leccy things front and rear to make it glow at night/ Sucky + drippy oiler thing to keep chains moist (!!) / Laser Pro Stock Race pipes / bleeding ear drums (see previous mod)
To do: Educate homo sap nav system to operate twisty + grabby things/ get ear plugs
All Trashed Now... Pants... its a Cat B Mwahahaha it lives again!!
Remember every driver is a deaf myoptic twat who is out to kill you, ALWAYS assume they are going to do THE most f*cking DUMBASS, STUPID manouver possible, at the worst possible moment; get past, and get past quick

You'll likely find daytime in Stuttgart is Oz-like in July: dustbowl full of heat! Or maybe I'm just remembering too well a monumental hangover?

yes 
its open to all (inc 'bikemadme' who is most likely my mate Ray with the Tiger
)
i've only been on 1 previous RTT and that was mainly TDMs, but there was also a ZZR, GS1200 etc (ps. what did Bondy's bro have?)
not all were from this site, some people heard about it and just turned up
so all are welcome to come along, we are a pretty easy going bunch who like a good laff in the evenings.
From Dunkirk (Norfolkline ferries are much cheaper than the others for bikes) its just short of 500km, thats about 6hours riding if going straight there at the speed limit.
i'll prob take a day to do an A road bimble over there, avoiding the motorways once past Paris.
if your planning to go just for the weekend then its going to be reasonably heavy going, a long weekend would make much more sense.
depends if anyone is going to do just the weekend, but Saturday will most likely be a 'tour' of the nice local roads(which are bloody fantastic empty fast country lanes).
probably between 150 & 300miles with lunch/fag/coffee/photo stops etc (thats similar to RTT06 i believe ?)
At RTT06 we ended up with a couple of groups, a fast group and a sightseeing group and a few stragglers. the same will prob happen again.
we can sort out the other days activities once we have more idea of numbers and when people are going to turn up.
welcome to the site are you going to join us?
folks: let me know if there is anything you would like to do/visit/see while out there?
dunno, i'll check
