Africa Twin Rally - 13th Sept
Permalink  

Hi to all.

As you know Sonny has asked me to lead a group of Africa Twin riders around a few lanes on Saturday. The group seems to comprise of Africa twins, GS's and KTM Adventures + one 600cc single.

The ride will start at about 09.30 on Saturday and may involve two rides with Cap'n Slow leading one ride using a Garmin Quest.

I cannot be more accurate in my timings until I visit the group at The Plume of Feathers in Princetown tomorrow evening so please watch for details here as soon as I get back.

A good ride with Bob as wandering marshall and Neil as TEC for the day. The Africa Twin/TransAlp guys were keen and had a go at all the lanes I put together for them even though they were hampered by their tyres (TKC and Tourance).
Several spills but no lasting damage and plenty of hands to help get the bikes up.

My thanks to Neil and Cap'n NOTSO Slow (now he's on his 400 KTM) for helping today.

Run report will follow shortly.

As you say Andy, all credit to the Big Bike fella's. They didn't shirk a challenge all day and a couple of them must be feeling the consequences by now when the adrenalin has worn off.
Great to meet Neil at long last, put me down for the next ride please.

Great ride again Andy, very difficult to put together suitable lanes for such a diverse group but well done to the 10 guys the way they stuck at it and all finished more or less in one piece.
Great to meet you Bob and look forward to riding with you again when I get back in October.
Cheers Guys.
Neil
