Thank you for all that made this VIM again a very special one, like all the previous ones.
Michelles, Gilles & the Blueslovers for keeping the crowds together on the roads.

Now its sorting out the laundry and the photos and going back to work tomorrow

Back home, safe and sound with 5212 new (and fantastic) km's on the ODO.
It was so nice to meet you all again, or for the first time, and i hope I'll see you at a VCIM in the future.

Thank you so much Gilles and Michelle for a perfectly planned and executed meeting.

I'm in love with France

AnneGro and I arrived safely in Oslo today after 6389 km.
We made short distances every day and stayed in Thiers, St Amour in Jura, Strasbourg, Bad Hönningen, Paderborn and Celle.
We enjoyed Kristin's company the first three days, but we were much too slow for her.
She disappeared as a silver arrow near Mulhouse 

Our plan was to take the ferry Kiel - Oslo, but someone (me, of course) had booked the ticket the wrong way.
The ferry from Kiel had no space for more motorbikes, so we had to take the Kiel - Gothenburg ferry instead.
Today we had 300 km from Gothenburg to Oslo, withg the worst sidewind ever.
This was the first time my magnetic tankbag has moved by itself 

Thanks a lot to Michelle and to Gilles for a excellent VCIM17 including the two daytrips.
Now we are very excited where we meet again.

Hi,

After 4126kms between Porto, Bardos , Nant , Paris, Tours, Porto and many adventures , we arrived saved and well . The tire arrived to Paris, we were on the motorway the speed of 110kms/h , arrived in Paris had to change the tire because it was already in very poor condition. Back in Portugal and yet close to Paris, trailer suspension broke up , which delayed five hours in our return, so we had to get to sleep in Tours. The next day, we did 1350kms to Porto. We arrived tired but fine.

A big thank to Michelle and Gilles for the excellent organization of this event.

1350km Tired ? Daseeee ... Who was tired?   We were ready to more 700km to Algarve
