MOB at the Ponderossa

27-05-2019, 04:58 PM

Great to meet Sven and Jan earlier today, these guys sadly were casualties of the date switch for the weekender but decided to stick with the original plan.

These guys know how to rack up the miles, Devils bridge,glencoe,cartmel,portmeirion is some going, tomorrow back to Belgium via Ducati Manchester.

Will try to post a couple of photos again later, hope you got to see Portmeirion and beat the thunder and lightning that we are currently experiencing on the Wirral, try to get a pass for next years weekender, ride safe.

Sven and Jan are great guys.
Every time I've popped over to Belgium on my ww1 trips, they have been fantastic hosts. In particular Sven's magic fridge of Belgium beers!👍😁🍻

Is he riding a 600 or is he tall? I don't normally think of a Monster a a little bike but...

It was a real shame that our MOB friends weren't able to attend the weekender after the date switch.
Hopefully they dodged the weather and enjoyed the magic of Portmerion.

Note to self .. try to get over to Belgium this autumn, if funds permit.

....he is actually about 6 ft 4 and slim with it, the bike is an S2r 1000, looks a bit shorter without the fairing. I asked why he removed it ,he said no Belgians like these fairings so they take them off and throw them away !!!!!!!!!

Jim is really short though, so from that picture it's hard to tell.
