Hi from Germland

Post by Haga08 »

Ooops.. new here and already posting in the wrong place... :oops:

Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum and currently located in Germany, which means also stuck with sh!t weather and waiting for the summer to spend many hours on the seat of my bike.

A few images of my toys:

Hi Jompy, POD and PJC

I live in NRW and more important... about 170km from the Nurburgring.

The red FZ6 is actually my wife's, the blue 06 R1 is what I've put the last 51000km on and I have only just acquired the 08 Haga replica and as such not had enough seat time to get it set up as well as i have the blue beast.

Hey PJC

Which ring will you be doing your track-day on and with which organizer?

I will be doing a few track-days myself around that time.

I stay in a tiny town called Straelen, which is just on the German side of the border opposite the Dutch town Venlo.

We will be doing the nordschleife in early June, so pay and play :dance: :dance: Handy place your part of the world, close to lots of differing entertainment. We may well be passing close by after the ring as Amsterdam in on my radar, again :roll: We will be staying at Sliders hotel at the ring, come and say hello there will be 5 from the forum + 1 ex member (Honda rider) plus 3 of my mates on a different trip but we will be meeting up at different points during the trip.

and by the way, just in case you were not aware... on 05-8th June is Rock am Ring, so accommodation and moving around is going to be a luxury.
