OMG Arnhem 2016

The MT-Riders (UK) together with the Dutch Resistance are gathering momentum at Joe's Bridge in Lommel (B) to start the "attack" along Hell's Highway towards Arnhem Bridge.

Saying goodbye to a group of new friends after some beautiful days of riding together and reliving parts of Market Garden and the German occupation in the Netherlands.
Goodbye from Fortress EURO-pe, hopefully we meet again soon.

happy travels, Mat63

(PS, if anybody wants some original pictures, just sent me a PM)

Hi Blitz, that is a very nice gesture of you. Same offer from me to you. I hope you get your bike sorted out for the next trip. And yes it is always a good idea to carry a can with fuel on long trip :idea: . It was a great event and I had much fun. There is still an event in the UK which is high on my bucket list: War and Peace revival in Folkstone.
Other things on the list: tank ride in Scotland. Tank museum Bovington. Or when needed getting my engine rebuild to a 405 by Sportax.
Groetjes, Mat
