Jacques and Mikko in France
« on: June 19, 2013, 14:47:47 »
A wild boar crossed in front of Jacques and Mikko whilst they were out riding their Varadero. Non life threatening injuries to the two of them but the bike is in a bad way. Jacques is the president/chief of Varadero France. Get well soon both of you.

Thx Jess for sharing !

They are better and better ; they spend a few days to Alubat (french moderator) & Aicha in Toulouse. But still no bike  :'(


Mikko, Aicha, Varaderomania, Alubat

The bike is absolutly dead; perhaps we see them to the french VIM if they buy a Crosstourer  :)

There are two new Varas in London - Dobles - but they ride on the wrong side of the road! :(

Only just found this post, so belated commiserations and best wishes. Had some spare ribs on Friday, so a little revenge.

If the bike is really totalled, it may make a tidy sum stripped and sold in pieces; after all, that's what the thieves do.

They get better  but Jacques cannot work for instance. The bike is definitively dead, but in France it's difficult to keep, and sell in pieces. He is waiting from the insurance money and looking for a new bike.
Thx mate !  ;)
