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................ OT: Hey Rudy ... the Maxxers are here because i've leaded them here in that Threat. No, i won't do that favour because you're never understand the Way you're Speaking with those Guys. They, and i ensure you that, wish all the Best to Falko at his Run against the Road and Time. They Respect for Sure what Falko is trying to do and hope he will achieve his Goals and come Home safely. What they don't like is the Way you're pushing them ... thats all to say about that ... there are no bad Feelings between the Vmaxxers.net Guys and Venture Drivers, except those which YOU have brought up .... as i learned all those Guys .. they Respect everyone as he is, but don't try to assimilate them For sure you're willing to believe that your Improvement make it able to smoke up a Vmax ? Forget about that ... Falko would be far wider on his Route using a Vmax, but ... i wouldn't be that comfortable ... and He's is on a Longrun not on a Quartermile ... dont mix the Purposes ... And .... the Venture ist a Rolling Sofa ... no Question bout that ... but a really quick rolling Sofa ... ;D ;D ;D

He is not athletic, but he is crazy enough to do that ;D ;D squeeze: I understand you, but would you do that on a VAXX - I wouldn`t do that on a Venture ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D guess the White Wolf and Falko will get into the histories of a V4 !!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

3.00 50 km to Bordeaux 1683 km
Falko said it's very foggy and he can only drive very slowly and carefully. So he doesn't think it is possible to make it in 24 h. But he will go on and hopes to manage it in 36 h.

Congratulations, Falko! Seems to me that all is coming to a good end. You soon will be guided from the spanish friends, that makes it a lot easier. Keep on running!

It's a great achievement to have the back bone to even start a ride like this & covering over 2000km in one hit,I have been passing on Falko's info to other bikers over here during the day & night,they hold their hands up to you,they were texting me, asking where is he now,one HD owner said,Falko has done more Km in 24 hours than he has done in 4 years,if there was a thumbs up emoticon,it would be here.

Hi, all is ok Falko didn't call the last two stops he was at Gumiel de Hizan at 11.30 with 2272 km near Madrid at 12.50 with 2379 km and reached Madridejos at 15.02 with 2572 km where he gives the bike to the spanish guy who bought it. From there they will go together to Sevilla. So he has reached the km, which are needed in 36 std. Thanks from Falko that you all were so interested and wished him the best. bye
