    Ride a Parabike to France!?

    in Introductions & Welcomes

    Posted · Edited by Enigma

    I rode the Race to the bridge from Renkum to Arnhem for the 1st time. I did ride from the Belgian border to Eindhoven.

    Arnhem area is a tad hilly which made the ride way more tiresome than the flat drive to Eindhoven.

    Riding as such shouldn't be a problem, even with the sliding pedals. Taking kit and Luggage is a bit more difficult.

    I did find out going downhill with 70+ year old hardened rubber brake pads in the rain is allmost useless, especially when the rear brake gave out due to a loosened screw.

    So to be short, you'd be mad and thets a GOOD thing!. Go fot it!

    Do make sure you are visible for other traffic. A uniform is correct but camouflage on a bike with motorised traffic can get dangerous.

    HiVis looks bad but may be the sensible thing to do.

    Using a Original smock isn't a good idea, you may damage it and regret that.

    Not entirely true, the following is from the Esso site:

    Esso super unleaded petrol (Synergy Supreme+ Unleaded 97) is ethanol free (except in Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area and Scotland). We would therefore advise anyone who has concerns about the presence of ethanol in petrol to use Synergy Supreme+ – providing they do not fill up in Devon or Cornwall, the Teesside area or Scotland.

    Why would some shires have ethanol and others not? Isn't England a country instead of a United Staes of England with different laws like the US of A?

    I don't mean this in a political way, just confused.

     

    War & Peace Revival - 2018

    I had a good show. It was too hot but that's nobodys fault. Still better than the rain and cold of last year.

    So a 8 to me, a lot had to do with meeting old friends and getting to know new people.

     

    I had the idea there was hardly any traffic in the America's field during viisitors hours but also in the evening. We were in the middle-ish of the field, not on the main road.

    In the evenings it seems to be only the themed convoys like the tanks or german vehicle convoy and some minor movements.

    We hardly saw any people walking around the whole day, allmost exclusively exhibitors walking to the staal and back, to the toilets atc.

    That's a big net. Just remove cat before cutting.

    I tried to find a fhoto of  a Dodge I had camouflaged in a short time so I could spend the night in it unnoticed.

    It was parked on a grassfield at the end of a popular street for pubs and such.

    It worked so wel a guy who was googling a couple having seks at night on that field, he never knew he was less than a foot next to my cabin. I should have yelled "boooo".
