I took the opportunity and carried the Mascot with me and introduced it to the GM and two members of HOG Rock City Chapter and took some pictures:

Thanks responding, PlasmaNaut and please forgive me this mistake! I didn't realise Novosibirsk is East from the Ural mountains.

Welcome aboard, Dark1. I'm anxious to hear your plans.

I will process your AVATAR into the HDForums.com members in Europe map.

Members from NLD leaving on a Friday via Belgium into GER, cross the Eifel via Cochem and staying overnight in K-Town;
then leaving K-Town on Saturday going to Stuttgard,
having a meeting in Stuttgart Saturday night and leaving back North on Sunday, sleep in K-Town on Sunday night and continue the ride back home on Monday?

If you look on the map, quite a few members will be able to join "on the fly" .

Like to hear from you and the other members from NLD, BEL, GER and FRA!

I e-mailed the Chapter Asst Director directly and he loves the idea... next meeting is sometime in December, but I will definitely be talking this up at our Christmas party on 5 Dec.

I'll have to read through the rules and exact meaning of the Mascot, but it sounds like passing the flag towards other, European living HD drivers.
If that's correct i would like to participate of course!
1 minor detail however, my bike will arrive on 9 june 2010. My birthday

That's great, Broosha!

I will mark this date on my calender and shoot you a birthday PM by then!
In the meantime you wil be able to familiarize on the forum: a lot of info on all kinds of subjects can be found over here.

Stay tuned and let us know your plans so we can coordinate and have them fit into the HDForums.com Mascot European Tour Schedule.
