The Last Sinterklaastreffen

It looks like I won't be Billy No-Mates this year. CHEERING!! 

Not at the moment anyway.

Not a Meldrew's member but Tony Young. We first went in 1985. 

This is sadly the last ever rally, or at least Sinterklaastreffen, so quite fitting we are both going 34 years later!

I was looking at the P&O ferry this year but although cheaper than the Shuttle it takes longer. 

So I have booked 0836 out and 1850 back with Eurotunnel. 

Tony will go over Friday and so could book in then. He's staying outside Ostend in a B&B. 

If I was able I'd have stayed at the Polaris/le Parisien for old times sake. In term time I can't get away on a Friday. 

Inscription is €15 for the weekend and €10 for the day. There are also special t-shirts for the event. I have loads but "I was there" shirts are good!! 

So end of November and my mo should be luxurious.

Crappy Finish

Have to say disappointed with the finish on my 15 Roadster. Not really an all weather rider nowadays.  Wheels are corroded and look like shit and the chrome bits and bobs all surface rusted. Have always washed down after a salty road outing. The TEX I had before had its recall problems but the finish far more robust. Never had these problems so soon even on a modern Suzuki! It doesn't seem like the wheels are coated, just bare metal by th level of corrosion.  The surface rust blights the suspension caps and even the chrome cover for the rear brake master cylinder looks more like rust with some chrome. At least the engine finish looks good.

Don't Ride Angry

Never ride angry. It leads to mistakes. For some unknown reason people in England have this urge to travel. That's not a problem. What is the problem is that no sooner has the final bell of the summer term/semester rung,  like lemmings they are in their cars and motorhomes  (RV) and heading on their summer holiday. Why? Most kids won't be back in their classrooms until September 6th or even 7th!! To coincide with this exodus, small 'e' as the waves don't part for them , after some terrorist activity in France (not to mention our vote to leave the European Union) the French boeufed up their ridiculously slap dash border control. Traffic was queued back on the M20 for about 15 miles. Three lanes and then two.... The A2 into the port two lanes for about 7 miles. Add to that both roads closed due to the inevitable accidents and a rare truck fire, and you have CHAOS. People trapped for upto 14 hours.  It later turned out that ...
