A number of us travelled to Lille for an overnight stay this weekend.

Many funz was had, I got stuck in a bush, we had an electrical disaster, an unhappy prostitute woke everybody up and we did some karting.


Karting Round 1

Karting Round 2

Many thanks all, had a really good time!

Haven't got my head round much of it yet. Can't believe that we only set off yesterday, seems a world away.

1st go at karting in 20 years. 1st visit to KFC. 1st time in Belgium (apparently). 1st time driving abroad. 1st time abroad since 1995.
1st time being probed by a border guard. 1st time eating Brioche!

Thanks for the giggles Thumbs Up

I tried to sum it up in the "where you been" thread. Shall repeat for completeness:

Bikes, booze, brioche, BriNav, strippers, prostitutes, drunk rugby team, drugs, probes, balls in a box, cheese rape, pink rim tape, paedo bear, kegs, karting, demolition, spinal injury, lost in the outback, blown reg/rec, epic fix from BCF massive, Paddy saving tyres, Captain Killswitch, lapping roundabouts, belly laughs, plenty of rain.

BCF standard Thumbs Up


EDIT:
Few other pics, including timesheets.

Oh, did the VFR have a problem with its electrics?

(I'm 3 out of 4 for electrical problems on tours with my VFR. I've just about had enough.)

Top Spanner Monkey Carvel + Master Bodger Paddy = One bike safely home to Reading from Belgium, albeit with a 9V reading on his volt meter.

At some point today there will be pictures of Mario, a pervy lion and Monty looking rather like he's just killed someone.

That and a hot dog.

Brilliant weekend Thumbs Up Didn't actually get many photos but heres a few snaps from the Drift.

Will try and upload my full karting videos tomorrow, youtube is playing up at the moment. Have managed to upload a small clip of my crash into one of the metal fence poles - still have a decent sized bruise down my spine Laughing.

The drift caught in the netting and faceplanted me into the steering wheel which seems to of corrupted the rest of the footage from the second session Thumbs Down.

Caught on the Nobcat Japs Eye in the Sky Security Cam. The VFR's wiring loom combusted shortly after this covert shot was taken.

As you can see, in typical French health & safety out the window fashion, beers were consumed before karting.

https://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w462/MattB70/Eurojolly%20Weekender%202/WP_20150425_15_46_19_Pro_zps5gqgrhsq.jpg

Belgium is like a neater, tidier, cleaner version of France without all the shrugging and body odour.

https://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w462/MattB70/Eurojolly%20Weekender%202/WP_20150426_12_22_53_Pro_zpsejf8hjig.jpg

The smouldering, fire prone VFR was carefully parked up on a petrol station forecourt next to a container full of gas bottles to be fixed.

They sell interesting variations on iced tea in the supermarkets there.

Souvenirs were brought home.

Pigeon's mobile lubing service was excellent, bringing that length of 2x2 to pop under the swingarm was inspired.

Although Paddy was a little bemused with the white marks on his black swingarm.

Ahhh, so that's the bridge Matt B was referring to. Nope, don't recall that.
Don't remember crossing the border back to France passed those to large signs that say France and have a border crossing cabin at the side.
But I do remember that fuck-off big lorry chomping at the bit to pull out of the side road.

Sorry about that, I must have shat myself when Paddy flew passed saving rubber, Danmoto's sounding like anti-aircraft guns / farmers pigeon scarers.

Normally I don't like to boast about the size of my wood on internet forums Smile
I did offer it to Paddy, but he wasn't interested in touching it, was happy to help Matt out himself.


Thanks to you lot, I think I've developed a problem. Somehow this ended up in my lunch and somehow it all vanished by 5pm.....mainly because I gave most away as it was a terrible substitute.
It was a poor decision to fill my Topbox with pointless junk, vastly limiting it's Brioche carrying capabilities. Lesson learnt.

Many points must be awarded for the strangest / potentially nastiest crash of the day, what happened? Was it lift-off over-steer?

Embarassed... Just realised I never actually got round to uploading my karting videos, i'll try and get them up this weekend, my bad.

Not too sure what happened to be honest, I think someone hit me from behind as I just suddenly seemed to end up flying off track but who knows Laughing

Hit the pole and the kart started sliding up it which got me off the ground a bit but the Drift did the most damage Laughing caught in the net and faceplanted me forwards then when the kart hit the ground again I slammed back in the seat.

Inb4 helmet-cams banned. I should probably sue Shocked

Yeah, those 12 year old French girls we were out with were vicious. Reckon the super evil one wiped you out before going on to demolish half the track and total her kart.

You should stay indoors with the 100cc karts next time we go. Best to be safe Wink

I came flying round the corner where the girl went through the fence, It's a sharp left and because of the fencing, it's blind. Only to find a girl stopped in the middle of the track facing me, just managed to give the kart a suitable flick to go round her.
