PM sent, I already gave the dates to check if some are interested [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]
Keep you informed. What are your deadline and limits in terms of number of people/bikes/ .....<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Hi Mike,
I'll answer the pm with more details. But for now there is no time deadline or limit to numbers. We would like to see as many bikes as possible. The hostel accommodation has nine places left and there is room for lots of tents if people want to camp. There are also some good Bed and Breakfast places close to the hostel. And seven pubs within easy staggering distance.
For all the new members who may not yet know about RTT08 please look in the get togethers section RTT08 : II Ireland. If you have any questions pm me and I'll try to help. If the German meet can have 125 bikes I'd settle for 126 in Ireland!
2001 TDM. 1990 Serow. 2004 DRZ400. Â 3 bikes, four cylinders. Who needs more?

Hi Mike, having just got back from a fantastic weekend with the German owners forum I reckon we should visit our continental frinds more often. http://www.ouestlekeum.fr/ doesn't seem to work though.

Siggi, i am curious, do you ever need to adjust the carbs when riding in the Alps?
I am thinking about air pressure being lower (but you probably guessed that).

Have been snooping around the site (thanks for all the hints and tips peoples...) and been meaning to join for a while.
Was also meaning to make my first post informative, memorable and witty but then I owned a Guzzi before the TDM so I should be used to disappointment....
Got one of the big, butch 900's in non-gay silver... Totally standard - even down to the OEM tyres. Yep, until last night, there was a bog-standard original one still about.
Live N.Hants so may catch up with some of yooz lovely people at Odium or Avebury some time...
