There are some nice roads there around Monschau, found some good ones last year the oher side of Bonn too

RTT material imo... hide.gif




Done: Homo sap navigation/ twisty thing on bars to make it go vroom/ grabby thing to make it stop (in front of twisty thing)/ 'leccy things front and rear to make it glow at night/ Sucky + drippy oiler thing to keep chains moist (!!) / Laser Pro Stock Race pipes / bleeding ear drums (see previous mod)
To do: Educate homo sap nav system to operate twisty + grabby things/ get ear plugs

All Trashed Now... Pants... its a Cat B Mwahahaha it lives again!!


Remember every driver is a deaf myoptic twat who is out to kill you, ALWAYS assume they are going to do THE most f*cking DUMBASS, STUPID manouver possible, at the worst possible moment; get past, and get past quick

Only 250 miles from Calais. You should offer up as an option, Julian.

We've looked at a couple of holiday homes there already. Paddy and I had already discussed a Euro RTT and we both think this would be an ideal area. So watch this space as they say good.gif

Good write up Matt, surprised you did not mention we are film stars now (maybe?). Coming soon to a screen near you.... if you live in Luxembourg probably!

Monschau, no need to travel any further! Nurburgring on the doorstep also as well, the mad road to Luxembourg that goes no where, hairpins through everywhere, its got it all. That was only one day in the area & there are mountain passes that we did not have time for!

Interesting how the roads through the towns are sh!t but as soon as you leave town the roads are perfecto!

Forgot about the lovely lady passing right behind us with a camera crew, sound man and director on her tail.

Probably Luxembourgs answer to Eastenders. Mind you with the hatred for bike we'll probably get cut.

Hotels between 30-40euro depending on how posh you want to go. Brugges was a bit more but thats Brugges!!!

Monschau was 37 a night but worth it as the roads all around there are brilliant! And the town is a lovely place to stop. All those are double rooms with single use.

Fuel was about a tank (@25euro) a day.

We're definitely going back next year matey so get saving!
