    heh. Not quite what I meant, but ta for the reminder ;-)

    I'm still toying with http://www.trofeorosso.net/ but not sure of the
    holiday/weekend pass/ongoing employment situation.

    If you'd had it two weeks later it would've been ideal as I'll be
    passing nearish. Might have to pass, unfortunately.

  10. In uk.rec.motorcycles, platypus belched forth and ejected the following:
    Good choice of dates there, my Man.

    There could be cause for a celebration[1] only a day before.

    [1] Or not.

    Never was, well, not one organised by TOGtours anyways. Just book and
    turn up.

    There's usually a bit of offline emailing to intersect on ferry times
    etc and if there's an overnight hotel booked, e.g i've ridden down with
    both Statto and Sweller previously.

    Otherwise you're on your own bookings wise ..

    Cheers,

    Paul.

    This morning I had a similar conversation with a Scottish guy for my
    homewarming and he kindly asked whether there would eventually be some
    fight. I am afraid I had to disappoint him.

    darsy Guest

    yes, I know.
    I just don't remember any discussion of people going this year.
    I went down with Sweller and SD last year on the SOB run. I might take
    the 7R this year, if I go.
    as I was last year.

    I discussed it briefly with Statto in Jan.
    There's talk of taking a hotel in the night before. Should we add you
    to the clique email distribution ?

    TOG organised this last year, I think Statto is DFV'ing this time.

    ah - that would have been during my brief UKRM hiatus.
    a hotel? What on earth for? If I go, I'll pootle down to the Channel
    Tunnel, and then across to Chimay, pitch the tent for a couple of
    nights, and then back on across France and the Chunnel.
    hahahah.

    Sofas have nothing to do with it.
    I'm not pregnant and I'll not go into it here.

    BTW, in about five minutes, YHM.

    I'm booking a few rooms on the Friday night, somewhere between Calais
    and Chimay, if anyone wants one. Probably around Cambrai, as I want it
    to be the sort of distance that the Morini might reasonably cover in a
    couple of hours without going bang.

    This is, at the moment, a complete unknown as the furthest it's been
    ridden in one hit is about five miles, but it's going in for the Ordeal
    by MoT tomorrow and then it'll be hacked about to see if it can be
    trusted on any kind of run. Prace bets now!

    Come Chimay time, if I have the slightest doubt about it, then I'm
    taking the 400 Four, and the fact that I've actually booked the 400 on
    my ferry crossing tells you that I already have Severe Doubts And
    Palpitations.

    Anyway, this place looks nice, on the other side of Cambrai, if the
    Morini is feeling ambitious:

    http://www.chateaudelamotte.fr/

    Decent menus....

    And if not, there's a Campanile in Cambrai, plus Le Chope, where a few
    of us stayed three years ago. Le Chope is cheap & cheerful in a manky
    part of Cambrai. Campaniles are always good value and you get a decent
    breakfast.
