Hi Fergal, we talked about having a rally in Spring in Denmark and then return to Sibbe, NL in August/September as far as I recall. You remember Sibbe, don't you? I'm having talks with a MC camping site in Jutland, Denmark (the main body of Denmark) and I can assure you that's a damned fine place. All the necessities are available, e.g. cabins, showers, mini-supermarket and what have you. The camping site is located right here: MC Touring Camp The homepage is available in English. Don't cut your wrists, summer is just around the corner, inshallah.... Cheers Søren

..and he still is indeed More to come soon but keep your calendar open for medio May. Cheers Søren

Brilliant, Jim! Søren

And all those prices and awards are fully deserved, Monsieur Congratulations and keep the vids coming; that's just want we want here in Winter Wonderland. Cheers Søren

Excellent video! Quite enjoyable, especially now during this bl*** snow attack we have here... I assume that a license plate is an option in Greece or what? Good luck with your bike, Dimitris. She's a belter! Søren

Doohan was the man in them good ol´ 2-stroke days! Second to none... I watch some of the old races on one of the 2 zillion tv-channels I have via Canal Digital. Fun stuff! Cheers Søren PS: I HATE snow!!

Good luck to all you NFL chaps! May the best team win And back to subject: 50 € coming your way, Jaap. Thanks for all the hard work you do to run this homepage Best regards Søren PS: And happy Thanksgiving to all our US friends! Easy on the turkey, gents - you leathersuits will thank you

Congratulations with your "new" bike, Dimitris! ;-) The LM 1 is a true classic and they are a rare breed. More difficult to find a 10 year old virgin than a genuine LM 1! Well, at least here in Denmark, nudge, nudge... There's a bloke here in snowy Denmark who still has the first LM1 ever imported here. It has + 300.000 kms on the metre but it's just pure patina. Still a stunning good looking bike and a true keeper. Good luck and keep the wheels on the tarmac, matey. Best regards Søren

You guys want hooters? Well, here they are: Show them to me Cheers Søren

Some heavy morning spliffs you guys smoke.... Søren

Nice sundial what time is it? Don't get started, BFG! I think there's a veeeery long thread dealing with that particular topic :-) Love the SF 750! Bloody gorgeus it is. Thanks for sharing, Monkey.

And me, too. Thought those guys were something you only see in movies but you learn something new everyday. Have a nice weekend with plenty of vino! Søren

Brill! Søren

Good to hear that your Tenni is up and running again, Fergal. For those of you who weren't in Sibbe for the European V11 Rally I can assure you that Ferg was quite shocked after his near death experience with those Belgian hoodlums. Sure glad that it wasn't me but thank god Fergal managed to get away. Scary.... All the best Søren

Thanks for bringing this to everybody's attention, Euan. I have a lot of friends here in Denmark who have had close encounters with prostate cancer so I know how it feels for them. So far - knock on wood - I've managed to stay out of trouble but who knows when your number is out? 50 quid has been donated and I have also posted your statement on Facebook. Best of luck! Søren

Sorry to hear that, Martin, but I do hope that you'll pop in occasionally to get your daily(?) share of MG. Best of luck you, my Scandinavian homie Søren

Well I don't know about the USA but UK press aren't that biased against Guzzi & ime, usually over the last few yrs try find something good to say. Guzzi do not produce a bike that would lap everything else but if they did then the press could not ignore that - it's not the press or anyone else, it's Guzzi that shoot themselves in the foot every time. The pace of that Alba in the video looked to be down to a decent rider who knew the track - in fact it seemed pretty slow on the straight (compared to a full on modern sports bike) as of course it would be, with stockish Guzzi motor... Still it's great to see someone trying to do something with a Sports Guzzi, good luck to you Millepercento - just get shot of that awful bodywork (I notice they'd blacked it out on that track session...)... KB I must say I like what I see. The Alba looks ace and I wouldn´t mind having one parked in my garage. Wonder if a certain Chief Whip on this particular forum has inspired the Millepercento guys?? Much similarity between Jaap's new moneypit and the Alba. Have you become a stockholder, Jaap?? And I agree with BFG, FalcoLion and Baldini: The bike looks much better sans all the plastic bits. IMO the V2 Guzzi engine is one of the most beautiful engines in the world so why wrap it in cling film? Doesn't make sense. Let it all hang out, for Gods sake! As for the general slamming of Moto Guzzis I've also noticed that especially the UK bike magazines like Fastbike and Performance Bike really fancy the MG's. One of the magazines ran a test on the 1200 Sport and they were head over heels. In fact the editor stated that some of the test riders had begun to talk about transversal mounted V2 engines, shaft drives, vibrations and stuff. Still hope out there, I presume Only hiccup was that the 1200 Sport had more front than Blackpool and Jordan together...You get the pic :-) The new Diavel seems like Ducati's attempt to sweet talk potential (American??) Harley V Rod buyers to look the Italian way. A Diavel won't make much sense here on European highways yet alone on A- and B-roads. Too bulky. And it is by far one of the most butt ugly bikes to set foot on Earth. Must be a Ducati designer apprentice who went berserk on the pc while the rest were having lunch. My goodness it's ugly... All in all I wish all the luck in the world to Millepercento. If it wasn't for guys like them we would all be riding bog standard bikes. Hail the bodgers! BR Søren

Now we're talking! Looks sharp IMO. Hopefully we'll see it on the roads in near future. Søren

Excellent as always, FotoGee :-) Too cold for riding here in Denmark; first snow has already set in and the mercury crept below -0 Celsius last week. Frigging cold! Thanks for sharing. Cheers Søren

Is that your stable, David? If yes you are lucky man! Cheers Søren

You really know how to make new friends, Hunbert.... And thanks for once more sharing your trip reports with us, Orson. Absolutely fab pics and I wish I was there. Oh, btw, guess who is in Rome next week? For 4 days! Ciao! Søren

Damn! Sorry to hear that, Handtius. Did you get the culprit or did he do a runner? Søren
