You would be made most welcome. Whereabouts in Holland are you coming from?

 

Hi Dave - I'll be coming from Almere, which is in Flevoland. When I travel back to see my Mum and Dad I get the ferry from Rotterdam to Hull, which is what I'll do this time. Do we book our own accommodation or is someone doing that for us.
Cheers Nikki

 

Hi Nikki, It'll be great if you can make it. Everyone is booking their own Accomodation, mention you're with the Triumph group, it doesn't get discounts but they'll know where to put you

I may stay here which is about a mile away. Being of a certain age, camping in a little tent does not appeal, neither does sleeping in dorms. I like my own facilities and privacy
Bull I' Th' Thorn
Ashbourne Rd, Hurdlow, Peak District National Park SK17 9QQ, England

 

Can't argue with that
Some of us are B&B'ing as well.........same reasons

 

Lets hope it's the Trophy SE and not the Burgervan!

 

So near to Amsterdam then; a couple of years ago I visited a friend in Lieden and we went to Amsterdam for the day - what a beautiful city. The railway station fascade really is a work of Art.

 

very true. 2 full face helmets fit under the seat and it came with heated seats and hand grips. it's super practical

 

We're about 30 mins away from Amsterdam. Agree, the Centraal Station building is spectacular and very similar to the Rijksmuseum which was designed by the same architect. I've been here 20 years and a walk down the canals is still something very special.

Accomodation booked. Will book the ferry nearer the time. Looking forward to it now.!!

 

My one and only bike rally experience was there, some 20 years ago. My bike (Benelli 900 Sei) even managed to win a trophy there ... a parrot shaped wooden plaque (well it was 'The Parrot Rally')!

 

Not knocking it but still hoping not to see it as that will mean the weather is crap! Let's hope it isn't for once and our first Grand Meet up benefits from some sun!

 

There's a fighting chance in mid August.

 

I remember a couple of years ago, coming over to the UK for a bikers meetup in East Yorks on my Diversion 900. Summer time it was and the drive down to Rotterdam for the ferry from my house weather gorgeous blue sky warm and sunny. On arrival in Hull it was like Armageddon. Grey skies and torrential rain and it stayed like that all weekend. UK weather sucks, so I shall be wearing my lucky weather hat and praying for good weather

Nikki

 

there'll be a few of us who will give you money to keep your lucky weather hat on from now til september

 

That's Hull for ya!!!
