UK XS riders

And there's me Andy Pugh (fat, bald, ugly looking bloke) in sunny Swindon.

There's still hundreds of XS11's out there in the UK. Good, bad, rat, triked etc, etc. I've seen at least one at every rally or meeting I've ever been to.

Trying to get XS11's and their owners together is the problem.

There's also a huge following over on the continent. Save up your pennies and get yourself over there. Next annual XS11 meet is in June in North Germany (I'll post more details when I get them).
The ferry from Harwich to Hamburg is about £120 for rider, bike and shared cabin. Then it's a ride of less than 100 kms.
I've been for the last 9 years and we've always been made very welcome.

If you're up for it, let me know.

If you got any ideas for meet ups in the UK, share them with us.

Cheers,

Andy

European Rally

Hiya Scoobes,

for the German rally why don't you offer the use of your stable of XS's to our friends across the Atlantic. Normal rates would apply, of course, bubble gum and PX chocolate.

I've just booked my ferry crossing so there's at least two fat Brits going over !

Brian.

[scoobes]

how come you have booked so early?give us all the details,what time ?how much? were from?and any info that can help me.are you up for a meet in april or may.

European Rally 2004

Mike Farnworth's xs1100.co.uk site now has basic details about the rally.

This'll tell you the rally is the weekend of 18-20 June in Northern Germany - er, that's all the info you need to book up now.

I did some research thru the RAC european routefinder and quickly decided to get there by ferry.

DFDS Seaways do an overnight ferry from Harwich (close to Felixstowe) to Cuxhaven (North Germany), travel there Thursday night returning Sunday night.


I'm booked and raring to go but can't wait till June so I'm up for a ride before then, anyone got ideas for a UK meetup ?

Brian

[scoobes]

i would go to the waterman pub again plenty of car park,easy to get to off the motorway,but it is not up to me it up to every one as we are all over the country,are you going over with andy and mike to germany.i do know that there is some interest from other people who read this forum.

European Rally 2004

Hi Scoobes, (and anyone else who's thinking about going to the German rally).

The Harwich to Cuxhaven ferry only goes once every two days so I reckon we'll be on the same ferry.

If anyone wants to come along they should contact Mike Farnworth via XS1100.co.uk 'cos it's nominally an 'invite only' do.

Anyone want me to talk them into coming along ?

[scoobes]

hey lamric the ferry is a bit slow then,but put germany on hold for a min,give us some input for a uk meet in april or may,we have had an offer from er?someone any way to use there garden for our meet must have a big garden and car park then,i think that would be ok he must have a good barby,what do you recon

[Yammayeeha]

Scoobes,

That's very generous of him. Mines a Scrumpy Jack and double cheeseburger........burp!

Does he do B&B as well?

Cheers,

Andy

PS Mike's given me a load of other names of XS riders.

[Lamric]

Sounds good to me too. Soon as possible please, I can smell that BBQ smoke already.

Just let me know where and when - I'll be there.

Brian.
