Part 2
You've seen some of the photos posted of us on the ring, but there was some relaxation. The evenings were spent sitting on Darren's balcony watching the sun set over the Adenau bridge.
And it was sunny
Adenau bridge was the site for my minor issue. I was honking down the slight hill into the left hander, about where the yellow car is,
As I accelerated out of the corner at the arrow
The engine just died and all power was lost.
I managed to roll to just past the gate here,
and rolled backwards through it and ended up at the end of the out road to the left of the cafe.
After the rest of the guys finished they came round to me and agreed the engine was fubared so all that was left was to push the car past the cafe crammed with hundreds of Bikers back to the hotel 150 yards away. Mildly embarrassing to say the least.
The RAC say it may take up to 3 weeks to repatriate. Maybe it's time for a 40 valve....................................:Confused :
