So today saw the DS riders get together for the Lyndhurst Breakfast ride, something that Mike Pohl seems to be getting off the ground. You might have seen the post by KalahariBen, as he seems to be involved as well.
8 O'clock was the meeting time at Engen and the turnout seemed good.
In fact I think the turnout caught the organizers somewhat off guard, but none the less ....we had fun .
At Lyndhurst some 50 plus bikes was counted plus another 20 plus from Engen made the group over 70 DS bikes
Departing from Engen
We travelled some nice roads, but some of the group went missing, somebody was not waiting for anybody, and in the end nobody found the right route.
The lady at the breakfast venue was expecting less bikes, but they coped quite well.
The owner of this 950 had lost part off his numberplate, quite fortunately only the far left section of the plate broke off
On the route back we followed a marvelous route alonside the railway track, and eventually we ended up at a quarry where we could play some more.

Thanks for a nice ride. Sorry I didn't take any photies on the offroad section, but once you stop and 50 DS bikes past you, you gonna eat a lotta dust :?
