Hi Louis

don't want to sidetrack here but I'm interested.........

According to Eric from Bavarian there won't be any new LT's coming to SA. Infact, I was led to believe they have stop production on the LT altogether. Are you referring to a new bike?

Hi MadnohB

I discovered the LT in Germany during one of my bus. visits in 2008. Purchased it from a collector and imported to Mid East where I am based.

First registration of LT 2006, although fitted with all BMW extras (+/- R40ths) and only 2000km on the clock(Two thousand) when I purchased it. I have kept this bike in Mid East (Air conitioned parking, inside my house) for more then 1 x year and total km today 2300km. This is not a country for biking - drivers completely crazy, sand strorms, etc.

Yes - LT as we know is now very scares, even in Germany where the prize has esculated of all LT's.

Louis

ABG008

good one

ABG11

ABG22 - This number is very significant in my life as I am born on the 22 of the 2nd month !

Lotto here we come. YAHOO !

ABG05. My birthday is also on the 5th!!

This is scary stuff, Deon.

If there are enough Club members attending, are we going to meet somewhere and ride together again ? I should be fully recovered by then, but it is much nicer to ride in a group of friends.

3 is enough to constitute a group .....we will be more

for sure we must ride together.......I can like to be a nuisance to you guys

ping, ping, ping Renier.....the ride lead of last year

Louis - Recovery time - Elsabe had a stomach operation - tumour removed. Well on the way to recovery. Will be attending the ABBG this time - have been threatening to do so since 2004.

Seems that our LT's have now become collectors items as production has been stopped. Pity - cant see how they can improve on it - still one of the nicest bikes i have ever had the pleasure to own and do in excess of 80 000kms by now.

Accommodation and registration with World Sport

Looking forward to another fantastic ABBG !
Reminders from last year below :

We (LeRoy & Elsabe & Andre and ????) will only be able get away after 13:00 on Friday - 450km ride. So i presume we will only be getting in somewhat later. Will somebody be organising the group going through earlier - Jamie????.

Should anybody else be going through late as we are - you are welcome to join us. We will meet up with Andre at the Mobil??? just before the toll-gate at Villiers, at roughly 14:00. It will be a faster ride as we will try and get there before it is completely dark.
