So what happens if you spend 9 hours on a Saturday night in a hotel bar in Rotterdam drinking beer with a group of Pipeline welders and then get up the next morning at 8am to drive for 1hour to Brussels to visit Pumpkin and Cwalker at the Brussels motorshow? See below:::

(Apologies for the KTM Tshirt, I was wearing my RSVZone Fleece (honest guv) before the picture was taken but got a sudden case of the beer sweats so had to take it off)

God did I feel rough but it was good to meet up with Pumpkin and cwalker.

The Brussels Motorshow is well worth a visit especially as Aprilia had a stand there with the 08 RSVR's (which is more than Aprilia did at the UK Bike shows) and of course you get to see the delicious Pumpkin in the flesh..:doug

Cheers Pumpkin for the much needed coffee and to Oliver (aka cwalker) good to meet you both. Sorry about my beer breath:biggrin

Oh yeah Pumpkin it only took us 1hour to drive back to Rotterdam which I guess goes to prove that Aprilia riders are much faster than GSXR riders (ie Fat Boy Kim):biggrin
 
Oh greaaaat, I hate coming across pics of myself :laugh :laugh

It was really nice to meet you and your mate too, Chris !! Thanks for coming over for a coffee and a chat ;) :)

Got anymore pics of the Aprilia stand for example?

:cheers

p.s.: I can confirm he was wearing his RSVZone fleece, but I agree it was really hot that day.. :laugh

Sorry Pumpkin about the indiscriminate posting of pictures, also sorry but I only took a very few photos and none of the Aprilia stand, now if they had displayed the new V4 or Desmoduro 750 supermoto it would have been a different story. Only sorry that I didn't get a photo of the Suzuki Police women that were wandering about the show:biggrin

Thanks mate it was good to meet you, I'm going to be passing by your shop next Friday (7th March) in the Morning as I will be driving from Rotterdam down to Calais. Looking on your website its right next to the road I'll be taking so if you're about I'll pop in for a chat and scrounge a coffee, if its ok with you????
Maybe this time I'll take some pictures of you/your shop?

Cheers
Chris
