Hi Martin, are you taking your netbook to Germany? I'd like to see the vids you took. If not, I'm taking mine, if you put them on a sd card, we could see them.

Taken we a while to get videos to load.

This one is for Manx900 as he wanted to see some videos.
Sunday Morning, I'd finished packing and went for a ride by myself.

Right at the end I come up behind a group of bikers who, on the ferry told me they thought I was Police. Explained the slow progress on the way down!
