Hello there,
First of all : congrat. with the initiative and the implementation of the
site. Defenitely good work!!!
Let's introduce myself very short : I'm a 24 year old/young Belgian living
nearby Gent. I'm working at an MBA-school where I do research in the
domain of "Telematics ans SME's". But in the recent past (after univ.) I
worked one year as test-pilot/journalist (fulltime not freelance) for
Belgium's greatest motorcycle mag, Motoren & Toerisme. To me this was the
equivalent of a world voyage which I couldn't afford at all at that
moment (ans also the period that I was convinced to buy an XRV). Not that
obviouos after an XT 250, 2 RD 350 LC's (two stroke,at present still wet
dreams of that magnificent period), an FZR 600 and an FZR 1000. But after
six months and approx. 12.000 km I'm still glad with the choice (but if I
had plenty of money I would buy also an VFR 750 for the weekend and
keeping the twin for day to day operations). Before you shoot me for
giving up such a dream-job consider the fact that I was merely taken on
for writing capacities/enthusiasm for motorcycles than for superb riding
qualities. Remember the title of the magazin, the word Toerisme is in it.
But up till now approx. 150.000 accident-free kilometers with a lot of
test-motorcycles (from an Isch Planeta (11HP) over an RC 45 to a
comparison between an GPZ & ZZR 1100, bye bye driver's licence... :((( )
and of course my proper cycles. I'm glad to see that the idea of a third
meeting is turned into a near reality. I will contact Pierre who posted a
month ago if theire were interested Belgian AT-ers to join the meeting.
I'll check out a map, my boss to obtain some holiday and other XRV-ers.
Should be nice to participate and write an article for the magazine.
As I'm working in the informatics/telecom, it's a bit a shame I can't find
a way to post directly on your database of postings. As an excuse I can
state that we have the luxury of a real Intranet, whit 'reply', 'new
thread'... buttons. Maybe you can briefly explain, that way I don't have
to botter you anymore to forward a message.
Greetings,
Ludo
PS : terrific idea to do the conversation in English because I presume
most of the reactions on the site come from native German-speakers. And in
our educational system your language isn't treated with the respect it
deserves... but if you follow the actuality of what's going on in our
country you'll know that a change in the scolary system is one of the
least sorrows of our so-called Government : defenitely :(((( in a major
way.
