  5. Arrived Cochem after a pretty miserable ride - the route and weather were rubbish apart from the last 45 mins. Made me yearn for @Pete1950 as a route organiser rather than my useless mate ;-)

    Still - we are here now. The hotel (Thul) isn't as well located as the Noss but it is pleasant enough.

    I have 14276 miles on my odometer with a 550 mile trip home on Sunday so a couple of hundred miles while I'm here will see me done. I'm in work on Monday then it is up to JHP for the 15,000 mile service on Tuesday :)

  9. I'm OK on the routes, not so good on the weather. So are Herr & Frau Thul as helpful as the Nosses?
     
  10. Nearly ... but I'll wait till the fat lady sings before I pop the Champagne cork ;)

    Thank you chaps :)

    Eeek - I bl**dy hope not :eek:

    Yes, they are Pete ... but I'd still Noss it next time :upyeah:

  13. Oi, stop posting porn :)

    Didn't that bike get stolen?
     
  14. Yes I believe it did - shortly after the 15k service
     
  15. 14,490 miles clocked up and I'm off home on my own at 0830 tomorrow whilst my mates stay on an extra day to play on the Ring. Sadly I have to get back for work.

    550 miles + will be the longest ride I've done in one day on the Desmo ... pity my poor arse :Wtf:

  16. I suggested an inflatable pad for the saddle, didn't I? But did you fit one ... no!
     
  17. Why don't you supply JHP with a digital camera and a large memory card. It's no hassle for them to get snap happy for you as they work. :upyeah:
     
  18. I don't suppose it was u on the m25 about 4:30 heading towards Heathrow from gatwick?
