Re: Pyrenees and Humm

Just watched this, which pretty much shows what the Humm is all about and even shows the fab road from Ribes to La Molina

Re: Pyrenees and Humm

Hey guys,

Pete here from Garage Night. Enjoyed your write up Phil, it was a top event, sounds like you had a fun ride back too. It's amazing, and often quite humbling, the hospitality motorcycllists offer each other, no matter where in the world you are.

Hope you enjoyed the vid, hopefully next year we'll get a helmet cam or 2 hooked up so you can see more of us crashing!

Great to see so many AT's down there, I've been waiting to see one as tricked up as Mel's for a long time and it was pretty damn impressive.

I took my 950 last year but heeded Austin's warning that he was going to "make sure a big bike didn't win it next year!" and took a DRZ this time. It was a lot easier on the smaller bike but the drive home in the van was boring as I didn't have luxury of time to go off-autoroute. That said, the winners were on GS twin's and not only did they hole one of their sump's on the first day but they also managed to get to an amazing 23 markers on the second day (we got 16), pretty impressive.

Hope to see you all there next year,

Pete

Re: Pyrenees and Humm

Alight Pete!?


Bob, the snorey baldy in the room opposite the Mushman room of debauchery here!


I've a feeling that the toll of torpedoed GS's may have reached three.

On day 1 a couple of guys holed theirs I beleive, and had to leave it up on the mountain.
I believe the Two Ians holed theirs on day 1 too.
On Day 2, Dave from our team holed his sump.

Could Garage Night please do a piece on repairing sumps with liquid metal or chewing gum??


Good seeing you boys down there, and congratulations on your result.



Bob

Quality video. Bob and Mel should do a TV double act.
