Hi Jules
The venue, Tonenburg, was Germanically excellent and well worth a trip if you are ever in the area. We didn't have it all to ourselves and there were several other groups meeting there at the same time. I would say there were over a hundred biker staying there on Friday night with only five of us camping.
I don't want to bore you all with the travel details - torrential rain, blisteringly hot days, wine, women, song, and lady boys etc. etc. But no doubt after a few shandies I'll recant the sordid details to anyone who'll listen!
The boxes worked fine and apart from a bit more dust there are just as I got them. The bike did fall over with them on in a garage forecourt - caused by me steadying myself on the wrong side whilst trying to take my waterproofs off - but luckily it was onto some sand and no damage was done to either bike or boxes. I will certainly keep an eye out for a set, but they never come cheap. And I think they encourage the taking of more stuff than is really necessary but they do allow better storage of Duty Free purchases. When do you want them back by? I will come down to Cardiff via Blackwood so give me the deadline and we can set a date!
Thanks again for the loan. See you soon....
Boyd
