2011 - the 20th meeting of the
former SRX Connection now called Monoconnection Saturday's ride-out saw some narrow twisty back road touring and stopped for a visit at motogadgets' shop in 7715 PV Punthorst. The shop is spezialised on Yamaha XT models. Amazing the stuff they have on display. After 120 km of touring we reach the village of Basse where the Basser TT is already in full swing. Lanz Bulldogs are thumping away for hours belching plumes of smoke while the racing goes on on a circuit of public roads. Another case of mad bike's disease? Anyway, it's great fun and all for free! The untiring efforts of our Dutch friends are highly appreciated! |
