The timing for this meet is perfect for my European riding vacation this year. Doing the British Isles this year, and Saint-Amans-des-Cots is on the way from Frankfurt to Calais - well, with motorcycle geography it is :biggrin: .
So count me in!
Traveling solo with a tent, so if anybody going would like to share a camp spot, let me know. Economisé de neuf Euro: c'est assez pour quelques bières bier

Another 2 to add to the "hopefully" list please..!

We're currently in the (soggy) Czech Republic, on a slow meander back to the Uk.
Just waiting to confirm dates on a stop in Geneva, if it doesn't clash then we should be able to make it...:thumbup1:

95% I'm not joining you :(, for two main reasons: a) my bike is not ready, needs work to be done to make it roadworthy (solveable); b) my wife is going to Spain that very same weekend for a meeting she planned long ago, very important for her, so I have to stay with the baby.

Being 7 months, she is still too young for anything like that (even if going by car).

So, unless something changes, I'm staying at home...

Wish you great fun, guys, would have loved to join you. Thanks a lot for the organizers and long life to the France (mini)meet!

Sorry to hear you can't make it Esteban, and I hope you get more enjoyment from looking after your daughter for a few days. I'm sure this will be the start of a regular meet in France, so will probably be seeing you sometime in the not too distant future.

rockwallaby 24 Aug 2013 07:22

I'm still on course to attending the meet.
Currently in Czech Republic making my way west slowly via wiggly mountain roads.

Thanks Pongo. I hope so to, to be at the 2nd edition, since chances for the 1st edition are getting closer to 100%. No doubt, being with the baby is also great.

I'll push for the next meeting. :D

G'day Paul,

I'm in Vienna at the moment and wondered if you'd like to share a few windy roads on the way to the minimeet ?

Cheers Dave

windhorse 26 Aug 2013 20:48

Hi. I just joined and I would like to come to the meet, but can't confirm yet as I work weekends and would have to see if its poss?
Do i need to book or can I just turn up.

rockwallaby 27 Aug 2013 06:50

Hi Dave,
Mmm, got me thinking. Am in Salzburg today and thinking of going further South with an idea to hook around the top end of Triglav again. There is a road I would like to do that takes you into Italy.

After that I plan to wander back into Austria and a of wiggly roads.

Have been plying a bunch of eastern European roads with Crusty (Angus and Nicki) who are on their VStrom.

Will send you a pm with contact details.

Paul

It helps to let us know, even if it's at the last minute, but yes you can just turn up! :)
