thanks Ivan, when i can actually get onto the French forum agian i'lltake a look at the recent discussions
I am wondering who decides where the International G2G takes place?
the french guys started the idea and asked on each of the euro based forums for representatives to help out
the discussion area is on the French TDM forum
http://www.ouestlekeum.com although to keep it manageable its a closed room
Also, is there a forum of Carpe TDM equivallent clubs?
yes, theres a list of euro forums in the other languages area on carpe
linky goodness
http://www.carpe-tdm...?showtopic=3183Is Yamaha's marketing department behind this (and us in the UK)?
yamaha do not as a rule support/run any owners clubs
they have provided some freebies at previous years meets and they loaned a 900 at the meet on the year of launch
other than that its difficult.....i guess the best description would be they are aware of our existence lol
yammie UK only wants to deal with UK clubs/groups where the UK meet is in the UK, i guess its the same with other european arms of yamaha
but they do generally allow use of thier logos and such on owners groups t-shirts etc so theres no direct disapproval
