What time was everyone planning to leave to go to the continent on Thursday, cause i found out after that my graduation is thursday afternoon

I could make it to the ferry but it would be late in the evening like 6ish i guess, and dont fancy travelling across the continent on my own

Lads,

the trip is still on.

Apologies for the bad organisation from my end (Moving to a different country etc).

The b&b is booked and I need to sort out the ferry. I have no problem waiting for falc and doing the crossing later on Thursday if the others are ok with it too. If you want to pm me your phone numbers I'll contact you all one evening this week to arrange ferries.

There's been a couple of drop outs so the revised list is...

Me
Lurcher
Falc
SVRunner.

I no longer have internet access at work or home (Havng to use internet cafe and it has a habit of being full at lunch!) so the best way to contact me is email richard.hart@customhousegroup.com . If you pm me i will try to check every day if possible.

I'm still looking forward to what promises to be a great weekend.

Ok ferries now booked for the 3 of us

Here's a list of things to do /check / bring before we set off (add if you think I've forgotten stuff)

- Bike service if required. Check brake pads too.

- Will the tyres be able to cope with the mileage?

- E111 for health insurance and/or private insurance

- Breakdown cover

- Motorbike Insurance cover for abroad.

- Waterproofs

- Spare gloves in case yours get wet.

- Probably worth packing clothes in a bin liner with your luggage just in case it gets wet.

- Exhaust. They can check the db level at the Nurburgring so probably worth putting the OEM one back on if you have a 'not for road use' exhaust on

- Is your passport still in date (ahem, I have an appointment in Belfast on Saturday to renew mine )

- Credit card/Cash (Petrol stations should be open but a credit card if you have one is worth taking as back up if the only open stqations are Automatic.

You may be ok. I have a decibel killer thing that i could lend you but it would mean drilling a hole in the end of your exhaust...
