That's because it's Siemens (not Seimens) AND because Bosch is googled very often by inhabitants of the city Den Bosch (also called 's Hertogenbosch), see below: (note: the red line is Siemens) I could not resist adding my employer: The three big European Electronics Companies

I don't know how your route will be, but you might want to spend a night at Henk and Tineke's bike campsite (no cars allowed). see the website of bikecamping D'n toerstop Most of the times there is a really good atmosphere and lots of live music in their nice bar. They also have these wooden chalets. On a sunny day, the boulevard of Harderwijk (a bit in the middle) is pretty nice. Hunderds of bikers meet there and Harderwijk is known for its fish, you can either eat them or visit the Dolfinarium to look at them. just my

This was my GL project bike: And this my GL donor bike: Jaap: Picture is in Drome, France on top of Col de la Rousette. Als er nog eens getourd wordt (zag dat ik Arnhem net gemist heb) ben ik van de partij... KiloSjon

I've been reading this forum for a few weeks now, and since I've bought a V11, I might as well introduce myself: Name: Mark Geljon Nick: KiloSjon Why? Long story, I started out as GL-sjon, referring to my last name and my Honda GL1000, which I actually bought while I was searching for a cali II... It was a "project" which meant lots of workshop, no driving... To drive, I bought a donor Gl first, but I kept riding it, so I had to buy a third bike, a VF1000F. Then I changed my Nickname to KiloSjon (since they where all 1000CC's and I weigh approx 120kg). After 35.000km's on the VF, I started missing a bit extra, the V4 being smooth and never turning heads (though it was a very good and cheap 113hp touringmachine). I started to manage my savings account for quite a while, until last month. I had enough money to spend on a neat V10 or a bit less neat V11. At Motortoer I saw a V11 le mans. It had been a demo bike for Greenib and after that it has been used for commute a few years. It requires some work (only optics) and I plan to keep on saving for some mods. But, the most important thing: I OWN A V11!!! I've been singing like a kid since I've bought it, and I now am exploring the world of 'driving a guzzi' in general and 'driving a v11' in particular. I will share my experiences! To complete this intro: I like to make long motortrips in Europe (Vosges, Dolomites, Alpes, Eifel, Luxembourg). I am an active poster at motor-forum.nl and if I have the time, I like to make a tour with friends (both real as virtual). I work in Eindhoven (at a large Dutch semiconductor manufacturer) at the internet marketing department. I like the v11lemans forum, a lot of knowledge and a good atmosphere. Hope to contribute to it. I will change this picture if I have one with the V11 Cheers, KiloSjon
