frenchie Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hola, So, is Robregordo the bonus prize for missing out on the Pre 65 Scottish, hands up who's off to help empty the Spanish wine lake..... and take in the trial as well. Anybody fancy breaking up the journey down, I live about three inches down from Limoges and three inches in from Bordeaux have access to some excellent if not superb trials land, so if you want to get you eye in before the trial let me know , its about halfway in distance. Hopefully Micky and I will be there on twinshocks so the countdown begins.. Hasta la vista.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micky Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Count me in Frenchie, I hear the wine wine lake in your neck of the woods is worth a try? Not too sure about these 'new age' twinshockers flying to events but it would be excellent to see a good Brit entry. I am sure it is the year of a mighty triumph for a Majesty.....or a Beamish, Seeley or even a Whitehawk!!! Those Spanish marques were never that good....were they?

greeves Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi all: Sotobike is already working hard in Robregordo for the 2008 edition that we want to be the best twinshock trial in the calendar. This year with Bernie Schreiber racing and some other big names of the 70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamish owners club Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I intend to be there with 2 friends. Never been, have no real idea where it is, don't speak the language, have only one driver and no accomodation sorted, ACU licences hopefully in the post and not entered or even made contact as yet! Luckily my next door neighbour is Spainsh so I may be able to get some help! Hoping to get the ferry as far down as we can to spare the poor old Transit! Would love to take my Beamish but I can't operate the clutch due to arthritis so I will have to take my very trick Cub. Hope to meet up with some friends and Beamish owners down there and maybe sample some wine! I will win prettiest bike if they have such a class! See you there...

andy m Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 The language bit is easy. You just shout in English and put O on the end of the odd word. It tends to work when on holiday. Scorchio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamish owners club Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Can anyone tell me if we need an International ACU licence or will a UK one suffice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeves Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) To the Beamish Owners Club: I heard in Sotobike we were already in contact with you, no problem to sort out your acomodation, entries and hotel reservations. Please email me to greeves@telefonica.net UK licence is OK with a starting permit. Edited January 13, 2008 by Greeves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 BOC You have to make sure you obtain an FIM Gold Cover Start permission with repatriation insurance cover built in. I know that my licence is SACU and I have to get the cover from the ACU in Rugby, I'm not sure if AMCA can arrange this, you must check it out, sooner rather than later. Remember in any country, no release and repatriation insurance = NO RIDE! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beamish owners club Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks Greeves and big John, this is the first time I have ridden abroad so any help and information is gratefully received. We haven't even done the Scottish let alone the contintent! Cheers, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
