Sad to see there is no rally for Europe. It is understandable when you look at the map. Just not enough of us to justify one. As a consolidation Yamaha is holding a track day this summer at the Hockenheim ring (about an hour away) for the R6 guys. I wonder what they would if I showed up on the old beast. :biggrin:

Yes, there is rally for Europe. In Madrid, for the 30Th Anniversary, and after transformed in an annual meeting, last year in Cervera de Pisuerga. There was a German FJ owner too ;)

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure my old bones (back and knees) of bike is up to a long trip like. I haven't had any problems with the bike since I had the tank repaired (sand blasted and epoxy coated on the inside) but about 300 km is my limit for a days ride. I would have to leave about 2 weeks early to make it if the bike held up. Besides that my language skills are horrible. I've live here off and on for over 40 years and I still have problems with the language sometimes. Would have been nice though, I turn 62 on May 13.



Thanks

Well, with that pace you would make it in 2 days no prob with some sleeping on the way. But I get you. It would be a nice birthday celebration though.

Beer we can do. :drinks: And a schnitzel or two. :good2:Just let me know when and where. Since I'm mostly retired my time is very flexible.

As for the rally I have some ideas but will have to wait and see.

Sounds good mate. I'll see what comes up closer to July. March is more likely as I'll be closer with more time on my hands (I call that one a 'work' trip  :biggrin:)
