K Guys - lemme tell you
now i know that i will def. try to do a saddlesore 1000 this year !
i will start near Berlin in Lübben
i would like to see as many of you as possible join that ride ! for a few hours or a day or ...
meet me at Lübben or on the way !
i def. need any help that is possible to make my way down to :
S E V I L L A
i will do this without a stop ( other then gas-stops! )
the idea is : at least to do a saddlesore 1000 - * thats 1600km in 24 hours **better to try to do 2000 km in 24hours ***first goal is to do 2500km in 36hours ****the highest goal is to do 2500km in 24hours
not sure wich rank i will be able to archieve.... that will depend not at last on weather-condition road-condition traffic-condition MY-condition
i will show details of the planned route later... trip will be total around 2900km

Good luck,
sure I will join you for a while. Just to see, if you will handle the Wolf in the way he likes ;D ;D ;D.
But as I said, I will join you for a while. I prefer to keep my a.. in a good shape. Now I am close to 50 and the rinkles will come soon. Don`t like to force that ;D ;D ;D

Good luck, Falko, and keep the rubber side down. Don't force the ride. There will be another chance to do it again, but only You and your bike will keep a good condition!

Hi my friend,
sure I will wish you lots of luck to reach your own target
but
give all of us the favour :
If you feel, you will fail, stop it and ride relaxed to the South of Spain !
Keep in mind, you have a foreign motorcycle and we wonna see you alive and without injuries at the next meeting !

Falko started this morning at about 11.00 in the morning. Had to kiss the White Wolf for the last time and guided both on their way to the south a few kilometers on the Autobahn. Was quite windy this morning, but perfect riding conditions. So hopefully nothing will happen during that long trip Falko is prepared for the ride last kiss with some teardrops in my eyes somewhere on the Autobahn at a rest area Good luck for both of you !!!

nuts, that is very fast. So, he kept the Wolf most of the time with more than 200 kmh - wow. Guess he realized, that the Wolf is real fast. Remember guys, I had him at 140 mph ! T With all the changes I made, he is quite stable at 200 kmh. Guess that`s the speed that he is riding for the moment.............................

Really fast! I think he needs the quick ride because in France and Spain you can't drive so fast. And it's getting dark soon.

Ok, just saw, that there are a few VMAXXERS online. Let me grap out one of them ;D ;D ;D - Squeeze (sorry to pick you up). You can give me a favour. Just give a posting into the VMAXX Forum and let them know : First : There are Ventures with some fine modifications ;D ;D, those easily smoke a VMAXX ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D on a straight road Second : We have guys who are able to do a real horrable thing ;D ;D ;D ;D
And at least : A Venture isn`t a rolling "sofa"
Falko, good luck for the next 1000 kilometers................

Just a further explanation for the guys those doesn`t know, want he wants to reach, It won`t be the lowest level of an Iron butt, I am sure, he tries to reach the highest step :
2500 kilometers within 24 hours !!!!
Let`s see where it ends..................................
