fluke323 11-22-2009, 10:17 PM After a few libations this evening, I got to thinkin. We have our usual visitors from the north, but only a very few trans-atlantic sv'ers. And I've been thinking the reason is, that they have little reason to come here since they have lovely stomping grounds of their own.
I propose that we invade them!
We should go over there and teach those snooty liter O' petrol buying kilometer per hour riding (no offense Cana-adia, I know your half European) cupcakes how to ride the twisties......
I've made the bold statement, now someone get on the logistics. We're gonna take a trip to spain or italy and rent bikes.......someone come up with the rest.
mike55 11-22-2009, 10:24 PM haha like the money. if that happens im in
aoleks 11-23-2009, 01:31 PM why not germany? italians could also come there, since it's pretty close, dutch also (and trust me, the dutch have a nice sv community) and spain... they should get the plane! germany has many nice twisties!

You really need to stop eating oranges out of mason jars.:nana:
Liutas 11-23-2009, 03:51 PM why not germany?
Because of all the Germans there.
mike55 11-23-2009, 05:57 PM haha whats wrong with germans?
fluke323 11-23-2009, 09:47 PM I'm not sure what Johns problem is, perhaps its jealousy because the germans like david hasselhoff more then he does.
TBone 11-24-2009, 12:01 PM Just read an article in BIKE on an awesome road in Germany...one of so many awesome roads in Europe.
I'm off for a lottery ticket..
svireland 11-24-2009, 01:47 PM I can personally vouch for the roads in europe, they're fantastic!
Read the same article in BIKE. That road would be worth a look alright.
I'd be willing to travel anywhere within Europe for an SV rally.

xbolloxx 11-24-2009, 01:49 PM I need a graduation vacation, summer 2011, it would give everyone plenty of time to save!
raab02 11-26-2009, 08:59 AM Yeah, I'll get right on that....as soon as I don't have to pay rent any more.
Fatass SVS 11-26-2009, 03:51 PM I'm not sure what Johns problem is, perhaps its jealousy because the germans like david hasselhoff more then he does.
John doesn't need the Germans. John's HUGE in Latvia. ;D
Currently 11-26-2009, 04:42 PM John doesn't need the Germans. John's HUGE in Latvia. ;D
I thought they escorted him out of the country with an armed contingent to never return. :twisted:
Must have something to do with his family history ... ;D
JPL_SV 11-26-2009, 05:33 PM How about a pre-Dooms Day SV Rally (2011 or 2012). We should see if any sponsers want to help fund the trip and get us deals on rentals. We can set up a route like the tour de france but in a few cool countries (maybe not France because they don't all love the U.S.) . Will we be renting SV's or will we break the rules and go with Ducati? ;D
Liutas 11-26-2009, 11:11 PM I don't know what y'all are talking aboot, I've never even been to Latvia.
Zach if you are so bored and have time to kill, get in your car with the girly and drive your @$$ up here.

I promised my bike to one of the Euros (I think Northwind) a rally or two back when he was trying to make it over, nothing ever came of it after a bunch of PMs though. I thought it would be funny if my bike made it to a rally before I did.

I like the way you think, let me know when we're leaving.

You left out the part where you get skitzo at the last minute and screw the other guys with your share of the expenses. ;)
Woody106 01-02-2010, 11:02 PM How about we go to the IoM......now that'd be fun
Blits 01-03-2010, 05:56 AM How about we go to the IoM......now that'd be fun
Yeah, but how do we Europeans get there with our bikes?
Spierings 01-03-2010, 07:04 AM Yeah, but how do we Europeans get there with our bikes?
Drive - Ferry - Drive ;D
Blits 01-03-2010, 07:06 AM Drive ;D
Forgive my ignorance but is the Isle of Man connected to Europe by road ???
If so that would be an awesome place to do it ;D

I allready changed it ;D
Blits 01-03-2010, 02:04 PM I allready changed it ;D
Seems i can take a ferry from Bergen to Newcastle. One potential problem, driving on the left side of the road. I reckon it's the same on Isle of Man.. Are we prepared to crash 10-20% of the bikes and drive like "nancy's"? :p
