:hammer: Well Folks its getting close to the trip now, and I was thinking about getting some video of it.

Well I’m glad to say my wife and children were listening to me going on about this, And they have very kindly bought me a Sony AS30V Helmet Cam for Fathers Day, as it is when we are away! 🙂

Thanks Family!! 😀

I will do a quick sample video to see how it looks, and you can get an idea of what the camera will produce for some memories of our trip. 😉

Not far off myself now either!

Just my front foot rests with new mounting rubbers & foot rest washers and some stainless nuts, I also have a new clutch adjuster as mine is rusty. 😮 Rusty Parts?? :hammer: I think Not! 😕

I have to try and keep somewhere near your standards 🙂

I also have a 12v waterproof power socket so I will fit that as well as it will be handy to be able to have a charging point on the bike for Phones, Sat Navs or Cameras 😀

Yep and La Roche-en-Ardenne
on the way back is an old medieval town, with an old medieval castle
well worth a quick stop. 🙂

Map ..

Hmmmm It will not let me upload the map?
I will speak to KK about the route, but it is 110km round trip, thats just under 70 miles.

It is about 1 hour ride each way?

Give a stop of about two and a half hours in Bastogne, and a couple of half hour stops on the way back for some photo opportunities? we would be looking at about 6 hours?

Leave Camp at Mid Day (12.00hrs) and back early Evening? (18.00hrs)

[Tango]

Not Long to go now! … 23 Days

I have asked if there are any plans for Sunday?

I am thinking of doing a short ride low mileage day out to Bastogne.

We would not have to leave to early in the morning, as some people will be leaving on the Sunday, and I don’t wish to appear rude by leaving to early on a day out.

Bastogne is meant to be a lovely tourist town, so lots of cafes and tourist type shops. It is also a town with some military history. So there are some monuments and interesting sites and museums to see.

Also not far from Bastogne is a small town called Foy. I have an interest in seeing the Fox holes in the Bois Jacques woods just outside of the town. There is also a monument left by Tom Hanks to the men of Easy Company of the 101st Airborne depicted in the TV Series “Band of Brothers”

below is a map of a rough route that I have in mind.

looking Good mate.

All we have to do now is find a day we are both free to go for a ride and go over finals! 😉

[Tango]

Yes Phil kindly donated one 😉

[Tango]

I have fitted my new rear foot pegs now, and I have made the exhaust brackets, very roughly but they look good enough and they will be fine for the trip. I have also raised the position of the silencers on both side. This now means that I can get to my rear axel and remove it without having to remove one side of the exhaust now. 😉

So just the front missing stud & new foot rests to fit with new rubber mounts and I’m ready to rock and roll!

[Tango]

:hammer:

I have had another thought today, and it could be a valid one.

I think it could be worth letting your Bank know that we are going on a Trip and that your Bank Card may be used in Four Country’s in Four Days! Or they may think your card has been stolen or cloned and the Bank could Freeze it! 😕 😮 🙁
