Belgium weekender post trip

[Albie]

Well what another successful weekend away with the boys and girls of UKMOC and our friends of the Monster Owners Belgium. Once again they showed us warmth and kindness and their hospitality is second to none. Getting ready to book next year already as the accomodation was better than last year and I even got a Four poster bed.

I got home safe and sound at 9.50 pm and came home with Katana. We met 2 monster owners on the euotunnel who we hope will be joining on m1100 and m696.

Two sunny days of fun and frolics with great food on a boat and the usual bar with our flemish stew. The beer was great and the boys still out there have just bled it dry of Kwak.
The mood was very merry and everyone had a laugh especially Shuffy who cannot stop drinking the alcholic cherryade. Caroline had a Kwak and enjoyed the moment the special glass bubbled and gushed into he face.
J.P and AlanC were also on top form with the gags. I personally sat back and was entertained but left them somewhat shocked. You will probably find out later why but what a laugh.
Stef and Sven got married last weekend and turned up to our meal and bought us drinks. We got them a little something between us from us and the UKMOC and they were delighted. They were truly delighted with Ladybird who had made for them a UKMOC cookie cutter. Poor old Sarah had and still has some problems with her brakes seizing and although a lot of effort to sort remains a problem.

We were all photographed on a stage one by one this year with a ducati ad backdrop and I was lucky enough to be photographed on a twin seat Desmosedici. Awesome !!!

Got some Carbon World De bargains and save around £150 on normal price. Gary T is bringing them home.

Will post some pics tomorrow but LouSCannon has some cracking ones.

Enjoy the rest of week guys and the rest ride home safe.

Cheers Martin. Maybe you can bring the old girl back next year. She was missed by the guys. They noticed I grafted on my wristband 059 onto 1100 and said great idea as I was there. But it was the s4 really and said she still has hers on too. They had a massive vinyl printed wall with all 405 and shes on there in all her glory.

My body was fine and everything tickety boo :woot:

[kneedown]

some great photos glad you all had good time . maybe i;ll get over one year prob only one night mind

[walpole68]

Seems like i must work harder this winter,those boys are into there mods.Feeling a little standard !

[Albie]

That dark m1100s was a nice looking bike. It looks good with x box and was being modded as was there. They removed flyscreen for carbon speedo bottom cover. Had the rizoma pegs too. Next year for me them then for sure. I got carbon flapper cover, carbon rear chain cover and carbon hugger for 130 euros. Saved £140 and postage too. :D:D

Bleedin' heck mate, if you're feeling a little inferior imagine how I feel!

Some very individual bikes there. Maybe I'll be able to get some time away next year!

Mine looked very standard and just disappeared in the mix. Scrapps had all the attention and he deserved it. He even got to go back on the stage for photographs as the sun came out.:mand:

The sparkly silver one with blue frame.

[scrapps]

Home safe. what can i say but brilliant the weekend was just amazing.great weather,great company,stunning b&b,good food and another awsome effort by the MOB.:woot:
i even managed to buy a new part for the bike...
(when can i book for next year)
thanks for posting the pics Albie they look great. glad you and caroline had a good weekend and your shoulder was ok.

[Albie]

Glad you came along . Your bike looked stunning on the day especially on the stage. It drew some attention. Garys just left mine as he dropped my bits off and had a cup of tea and a natter. Bits put on and looks great. Bit off faffing with rubber tap washers as spacers as carbon thinner than plastic but fit is perfect and a few more grammes saved.

Ready to book again for next year so book early if you want the hotel.

Dont have to speak any lingo. Get away with French. They are multi lingual luckily and most speak better english than the youth of today.:biggrin:

Stick it your diary for around this time next year. Stuart 42 came last year and I belive you met him this weekend.
Be good to have you there. Do you like beer though.:biggrin:

[JMo]

Fantastic looking event there guys! I really must make sure I'm around for it next year - being in the USA is such a bitch x

Loving the stripped down M1100 too - about time someone did an under engine exhaust and nicer footrest hangers for those... might be tempted myself now...

Hope to see you all at the UKMOC weekender next year, if not before...

How can you get any more carbon on your bike! Didn't those rear sets cost something ridiculous, nice as they are?!!

Albie, your 'ex' Monster still has the '059' band attached! I am hoping to get there next year, one way or another! Sounded like a fantastic weekend!

I don't drink beer however - what else do they have?

[Shuffy]

Having just got back from the Belgium "Weekender' I just wanted to say a very big 'thank you' to everybody involved for an absolutley top few days away. Brilliant company, great bikes, sunny weather and more (cherry flavoured!) beers than you could shake a stick at. It was really nice to put faces to names and make a few new friends in the club. Huge thanks also have to go to the guys in Belgium. Our hosts were so welcoming, enthusiastic and very forgiving to our more 'interesting' Flemish translations of local town names.

Despite the power of the mighty Tw*tNav fitted to my bike (see pictures) we all managed to to make it back to Calais today (well done Ladybird and Alan C for leading) albeit slightly later than planned due to an extended 'lunch' break.

Anyway here are few pics to give a flavour (Kriek) of the weekend, but I suspect there are far more interesting 'calendar' shots to come (Albie - Mr September). So if you're thinking about going next year, book it now (but not before I do).

http://www.flickr.com/photos/speedtriple52/show/

PS. And a special message for the guys now in Germany. How's JP's special 'sticker' going down and is Slob in the slammer for International Noise Crimes Against Humanity?

Hi Liz yes Martins said he's keeping it on. It was after all the bike that counted in the record but also it had to be ridden to actually count in a 3km rideout. That be me then and we got a tag the same for our wrists. Im just letting my new bike look after it for me.

They do this lovely cherry drink. Its beer but not beer. You can choose from loads of drinks or non alchohol. No ones bothered as long as you have a good time.

[Albie]

I was expecting a "special " shot in that lot :eek:. I was getting nervous towards the end . Do you think UKMOC can handle such pictures :eek::eek::mand::cens: Great pics Chris and they totally sum up the weekend. :mand:

I think Jim has the 'special' pics Albie, I guess you'll have to wait for those.... :on:

Anyway, glad you liked the pics. Roll on next year!

[scrapps]

Yep great pics and I am glad you had a good time cherry baby.
I have just fitted the bike bling I bought at the Mob show and I am very happy with it. A mini carbon hugger it's looks great and was a perfect fit.
OMG that's two bits of carbon(thats not good) I may have caught carbonitus ?

You should have bought that smoke deflector too and the rear tea tray was a real bargain and would have showed more blue paint. The carbonitus I think you got it off me.
Glad it looks ok. Post a pic some time.

[Tokke007]

Hi guys (and girls) I just want to thank you all for coming to our small but nice country.
I had a wonderfull time with you and hope to see you all back next year.
Special thanks to Alan for giving me his t-shirt, hopefully he did't cought a cold on the way back.

Tom.

[Albie]

He was hanging his belly out at the ice cream shop and scaring the locals.

We really enjoyed your company and your hospitality Tom.You all work so hard to produce the 1 day occasion and turn it into 2 great days for us. Scrapps maybe able to get more Teeshirts done if needed no doubt. I will be buying a mob one

[alan c]

Well what another great weekend, i just love those MOB members, thanks to you all for meeting us and all your hard work throughout the weekend :thumbsup:
Tom, glad you are pleased with the shirt, hope it was not to smelly :worried:
Thanks to Sven for the tailpack bag and Stefanie for the pronounciation lessons, we had such a good laugh :chuckle:

Once again the food was great and the beer even better, i had the last bottle of Kwak, sorry guys its because i am SPECIAL :p

I am so pleased i got myself a monster and got involved with such a great bunch, looking forward to next year already :thumbsup:

Alan.

Already trying to sort out hotel. Any idea of a date. Can you let me know when you here Sven.

[Ducatiwitch]

Was you on the white 848 this year conny ?

Hi Albie,
Nope, I wasn't there at all. My 696+ is total loss since an old lady decided on 18 august to make an U-turn with her car without looking in her mirrors. Oh, she didn't saw me beside her car but luckely I was driving very carefull because it was the second trip with my son back on the bike. No one harmed but no more bike to ride. :fiery:

But ... I'm comming to England near Cambridge the 3th october to get my Monster 1100S. With the railway till the little village or town and then drive home with my new bike :mand:
So, if anybody would like to drive along back to the Folkstone tunnel with me let me know!

[Ducatiwitch]

Nice pics Conny, well done.

G : ) :thumbsup:

:look: ssssst, I saw those pics on the Ducati.be site and as I know it's nice to see all the pictures of an event but it's not always easy to find them ... with pleasure to UKMOC

It may be ok to meet up with some of the guys if you have a time when your about. We could have a coffee somewhere too. Let me know nearer the time your plans.

Please excuse that person standing behind my m1100s in the helmet. He just came from nowhere.

[yellowfever]

Top event - many thanks to the MOB for organising, the day was excellent and they did particularly well organising the weather!!

and nice to meet all the fellow UKMOCers who were polite enough not to take the mick that I'd only had to come from Brussels rather than from Blighty (tho' as I pointed out the unexpected (to me) "Green Day" - vehicle free day in whole of Brussels!!! - meant blagging half the cops in Brussels to be allowed to travel to the MOB day at a blistering 30kph maximum speed whilst dodging cyclists who acted, correctly in the case of this day, as if they owned the road...).

Anyway good to meet you all and great to see the various bikes in the flesh and put some faces to names etc, I won't list all the UKMOCers I met as between online names, real names and sunstroke I'll probably forget as many as I remember, but anyway was nice to meet you all and hope to catch up again at Arrow Mill or next year's MOB (if I'm still out here in Belgium then). Plus WDW2010 is a must - went in 2007 and was awesome.....

I'll post a few piccies when I get the chance - still got pseudo in-laws and girlfriend staying so not had much time yet....

[gary tompkins]

David aka yellowfever minus crash hat - Nice to meet you on Sunday mate ;)

I think I'll not take the lid off in future... :)

Here's a few photos I took on the day of the cool bikes. Really liked scrapps' bike looks even better in the flesh. Plus the silver and yellow bike (presume this has the rare and ruinously expensive alloy tank?) looked great too....

They are huge but I have noticed that a few times in some pics of your bike.Get some Mini wheels on it.

[uksurfer]

and if you don't mind me saying, the bikes on the back drop are going the other way?
just being picky :confused:

[Albie]

They had to borrow the back drop as the supplier of the 2009 one didnt get it to them to pick up. It should have been a MOB one. Know what you mean though

[slob]

They wanted to have the bikes leaning away from the camera and to show off the clutches.

[logyk]

Perhaps if they had brought the bikes onto the stage from the other direction ?

[Grumpy]

Got back yesterday late from Staffs and mine extended trip from Brussels to the French Alps. Had a great time ( apart from my virtigo kicking in 3/4 of the way up mountain pass!!)

As for the MOB weekend, yet another great time, I can not thank our hosts for their warm welcome enough! Good to catch up with the usual suspects and some new faces.:mand: Roll on 2010.

[Shuffy]

Great pics Jim. Was yours the only bike not to have problems on the way back? What was the full damage status in the end?

[slob]

Five pounds and nine pence.

[Stafford]

FWIW the old ugly bike did manage to start every time to Abertville and back (not first time though!) but did chew the needle roller bearing on the clutch basket side whilst near Verdun. Still made it home without any attention, but now needs a new push rod, bearing and seal.

[LouSCannon]

Problems? Nah none of us had problems, just some of us had 'experiences'....

I'll leave it to those concerned to tell their stories if they wish, but mine made it back trouble free, even managed 150 miles out of a tank at one point!

[Shuffy]

Rob is that the cost of the broken part or what your bike's worth now??? :hissy:
Did you find your 'missing' gearbox or is it still AWOL?

[slob]

My bike's worth more now than it was before!
Full story one I've finished fixing it.
£5.09 is the cost of the gear selector return spring.

Phew! Could you get to it without a full strip down?

What happened to J.P's bike, I take it didn't quite get all the way home on it's own steam?

The big question is, was the 'Ring' to blame for all this? (that Tolkien's trouble I tell you)

[BluprintZ]

Excellent pics Jim, looks like you had a hoot...mostly!
Can't wait to hear some of the stories, sounds like a brill adventure.

Grumpy, i have the same problem with vertigo mate, i nearly shat meself on the way to Belgium via Hull, when the Humber bridge came into view....eeek!
I thought, if they think i'm going over that, they can get knotted!
Maybe it was mixed blessings that i only made it to Spa, due to the accident, i'm sure i would have screamed like a girly if i'd had to go over the Alps, to get to San Marino.
My mate and his missus carried on after i set off back to Rotterdam and home, they took some wicked pics of their journey, i might post them if anyone is interested...innit?

G : ) :spin:

I am pleased to report that my bike didn't miss a beat all trip.........be sad to see her go in a way :cry:

[Shuffy]

Is the Monster going as well as the DesmoSaidItchy Logyk? Or is it buy (the very expensive) one, get one free? Very glad to hear the Curse of the Ring didn't strike you too.

[logyk]

Thanks Shuffy .....although I had 2 near misses on the 'Ring. A BMW 7 series and a Porsche decided at separate points on the track that despite the fact that there were two machines in one corner they would use all the road......raised the heart rate just a little !

As for the monster.....if she goes in the near future she will be staying in the Club. Otherwise I will probably keep her until next year. All will become clear in due course I guess.

It would be a shame to let her go, she is rather splendid (even with the extra plumbing!).

[logyk]

She has taken me on 3 trips to the continent and never let me down. All she needed when I got back was a good clean and a good dose of lube !

[Shuffy]

All she needed when I got back was a good clean and a good dose of lube !

Let's just hope that was just chain lube....

.........................;)

[slob]

...has she ever been to Interlaken?

I don't think the ring was in any way responsible Frodo.

A gear selector spring and an alternator will have suffered very little extra hardship overr normal road use,
and we were all cruising by trackday standards, since none of us were familiar with the 78 corners.

I will be throwing all my used parts into Mount Doom from now on, just to be on the safe side

Filth. Utter filth.

[Albie]

Got your CD Jim and thanks great pics of my bike. :D:D:D The way the pics are not coming in my bike may have a place on calender.

[scrapps]

Hey Albie if you do a page on the Belgium trip you will have to add the young lady with the donkey..... it will prob increase sales :chuckle:

[Albie]

Who is this young lady ?? was it MOB bit or after. ??? Missed this then.

[LouSCannon]

No worries Albie, don't forget Scrapps' pics, and I put a few 'good' pictures I'd taken recently to see if they can help.

[Albie]

Yes indeed. I wont use the ones of me so aren't you the lucky ones. Im saving them for the Ladies calender .:chuckle::chuckle:

She's the presenter of the Belgian version of Farmer wants a wife (Boer zkt vrouw) they were filming it in the farmyard behind us on Sunday night, while we where sipping our beers, she bummed a cigarette off Jim. Must have been after you left Albie.

[Albie]

I see. Good job I left then. They might have wanted a photoshoot with me too LOL:eek::eek:

he11cat sometimes solo monster seats turn up on ebay. Like the police bike ones. Im presuming that they are for that type of vehicle. Keep your eyes peeled rather than hacking the seat.

[gary tompkins]

One from me - love that zorst & swinger set-up :hail:

[He11cat]

thanks for that!!

I love that bike!!!... I couldn't do something that posh . but I like solo seats and the little rack at the back would be perfect.. as I go away weekends a fair bit in the summer... Im used to muddy bum syndrome..

Its a cracking bike!!!!.....
I have a spare seat here ..Id be looking at next year as would have to work hard and play less... lol value baked beans ... happy crapper bread.... ie I need lessons in deep pockets as I already have short arms! lol....
But something along that lines solo seat and back end for stuff.. would be perfect for me!!!
