Wipe Your Own Arse Rally 2012

[geoff barnett]

I attach a few pics from the above Rally that I attended in May. It was a fully loaded offroad trek through the mountains of Slovenia and Croatia - complete with minefields and scenes of many recent atrocities. There were 35 of us in total, mainly, Dutch and Belgian, a couple of Irish and a handful of Brits. Many present had never seen an MT350 before. The old girl acquitted herself well and performed faultlessly. For the full story go to the Adventure Rider website.

My thanks to all who atteneded and all who organised this weekends fun in North Wales. It was absolutely brilliant.

Looks amazing Geoff, roughly what would that have cost?

[geoff barnett]

The Cost?

It's free to enter - but is invitation only at first; they only invite others if there are a few vacancies left.

So the cost is simply that of riding down to the Balkans or that of sharing a van with a few others and then two weeks of riding the dirt roads in the mountains.

The format was to camp, then you were given the address of the next campsite, usually 100+ dirt miles away and your job was to get there and sort out your own problems and dramas.

Thinking about it, I probably spent about £900.

Blimey, you must have registered that bike close to me as I have P406HBC on one of mine!

Looks like a fund trip.

I have the ultra detailed service record for the service reg GH 27 AA, let me know if this relates to any of your bikes.

When the DVLA issue an age related plate, they'll go back to that year and month then issue the next available number- each area office will have a block of numbers. I wonder how many times they go back 10 or more years to issue a plate for a specific month? Probably not very often, so registrations could be some time apart. My guess is that your bikes were registered by the military in the same month and year, so may well have near miss military plates as well, and for that matter they may have frame numbers that are close.

Hi Geoff, It was a pleasure to meet you at the Wales meet.
I was very impressed with your relaxed style of riding.
Indeed many people commented how good your riding is.
I think anyone doing this trip would need to be a competent rider.
