Well I'm back from a short visit to The Netherlands, My first HU attempt.:thumbup1: Arrived on May 3 in Holland. Ready to go on a 3 day road trip to Luxemburg. Arrived at my brothers place Thursday morning to a Yamaha XJ-6 Diversion. He arranged this for me beforehand. So ready to go. All 4 of us, brother and 2 nephews. Who by the way just passed their motorbike-license exams a month earlier. http://www.vstrom.info/vsri-gallery/...2/P5050040.JPG can you see I'm excited. http://www.vstrom.info/vsri-gallery/...2/P5050041.JPG rolling them out...... Here we go http://www.vstrom.info/vsri-gallery/...2/P5050042.JPG ...to a Gas station, filling up. As you can see they are paying a bit more than us in Canada. Like $2.35 a liter http://www.vstrom.info/vsri-gallery/...2/P5050043.JPG waiting in Antwerp for lost Nephew. We "filtered" (lane Split) through a traffic jam and he stayed a bit behind and.... lost us in traffic. Most cars flew by us at 140km. http://www.vstrom.info/vsri-gallery/...2/P5050045.JPG Caught up at a rest stop that are plenty of along the highways http://www.vstrom.info/vsri-gallery/...2/P5050046.JPG Belgian Motorbike cop getting a truck of the road for weight check. http://www.vstrom.info/vsri-gallery/...2/P5050054.JPG arrived at Hotel and parked the bikes at garage.

Every step
Every step is an adventure and it looks like you were all having such fun!
Thanks for sharing your photos. although, I confess I spotted that wasn't as appealing.... do hope it was a typo.... €166.9 a litre for petrol and €135.9 for diesel...:eek3: "to a Gas station, filling up. As you can see they are paying a bit more than us in Canada. Like $2.35 a liter" More like 230.726 CAD and 187.875 CAD !!!!!doh |
Gas price was 166.9 (with 8.00 Euro-cents off per liter discount).
That would be 174.9 Euro = $ 241.8 Can. (US $ 247.6) that's why they "all" drive diesel. and small cars. |
