One time, just one time, I actually was finally going to get to go to the Bol. Only reason I mention it here was that funnily enough, the chap I was going to go with used to do it regularly on his FJ1100.
Had my big 'off' a couple of weeks before though, so never did get to go
Did manage to get to Le Mans one year though. I think all I consumed the whole weekend was several (a euphemism :lol ) bottles of extra strong beers and a couple of burgers. Did it from Gutersloh in Germany. Slept in a forces slug next to my bike in the camping field, woke with an almighty hangover early in the morning, sleeping bag soaked in freezing cold dew. Met a mate there at the end of the racing. Got nicked for speeding not far from the circuit on the way back. Had to pay his fine and mine, as he claimed he barely had enough money for petrol to get home. So tired, I was hallucinating police sirens on the way back to Gutersloh. Happy days indeed! :lol
