everyone...as we chat....CB500BOY (Gareth) on his little CB500 is trying to reach Germany and get back in just 3 days..

He booked what remaining holidays he had left...seviced the 500 and set off this morning........NOW that`s spirit.....:beer:

I just hope he`s fitted a snow plough to the bike and has his thermals on....:}


here`s hoping he has a safe journey and enjoys his adventure....
don`t forget..he has been passed his test for only a short while...

good luck to you mate....:beer:

Try Motorsport Travel on 01759 301010, they always give better prices, especially for bikes. May take some time to get through as they're always busy, so I usually fax for a price but I lost their fax number in a recent PC Meltdown:B

Thank gawd Gareth got the forks sorted properly before he went !

Running to Germany must be a family thing.. His uncle has been to the elephant treffen almost every year since the late 80's !
