Rainhard offers a free beer to every international guest!

 

[drewpy]

just costed it up from manchester

236 euro ferry
petrol at least 150 euro
plus spendies talking £500

 

[Lupe]

That's much money for a beer. I will talk to Rainhard again

petrol for 150€ sounds like a 2000km ride.

What ferry did you get the price from?

 

[drewpy]

Hull to Rotterdam, overnight. It will be better than riding down south

And two more beers from me.

LuckyEight, that´s Gerd´s bike. He won the contest "nicest custom"

He just made an adapter to use an oilfilter from a Renault and an oil-cooler.

 

[Robsteeler66]

Wow! I wish I could come. I would love to see some of your bikes in person. It seems that some of the best performance xs400's are in Germany. Plus, I haven't been to Europe since I lived in the UK in the 80's. Can you guys post more of the performance stuff so we can at least see it? It's hard to find stuff with google translate!

 

[Sokrates]

Hi Robsteeler...

Can you guys post more of the performance stuff so we can at least see it? It's hard to find stuff with google translate!

is he doing kits for that conversion?

 

[Gemamo]

Hello, i made some kits for "friends" , but in the US-aftermarket, those kits were sold.
The latest part i built is a hydraulic clutch and it works very well.
The drawings and needed parts are also in the thread, so feel free to build it by yourself.
And sorry for my bad english.

Here are some pictures of our meeting last weekend. Alltogether is was a big fun and I am sure the participants will talk about it for a long time...

We met on Friday afternoon, the weather was good. Well actually it was a bit too warm for motorbiking.

Our tents.

Some were cheeting a bit on their journey.

This guy came up from Danmark!

Of course we had a party in the evening.

Saturday morning. For some stupid reason it was raining:-(

First stop for cigarettes and taking of rain gear

Lunch break.

My bike with the new American style seat. I like it.

The truth about German bikers, part 1
Hanging out in an Indian style coffee bar in the afternoon. Altogether we rode only about 120 km that day. Most of us consider the social part of a meeting as the more important one

The best waffles in the world...

We were attacked by strange little animals. They call themselves Goats. They look harmless but they are the most dangerous species in the universe

Another BBQ/fire/party on Saturday evening.

I had to present the awards. I am the one in the middle.

But...
On the last meeting someone lost a bet. They had to wear selfmade skirts while we gave out the awards and a present to our hosts (on the right).

It ended up like this, the truth about German bikers, part 2.

The winner of the award for the best mod, leaving on Sunday morning. It was raining again...
