Hi to all,
We (including Guy & Gail) returned home Monday evening about 19:00hrs.
Thanks to all for making it an excellent VIM23.
The 4 of us are now in Benidorm Spain 🇪🇸 relaxing.

Please let us know you all have returned home safe, and post your pictures on the forum.

Until next year vim24 stay safe.

Hi all,

arrived home safely yesterday afternoon.
Orga team did set up a great VIM. Attendants made it greater. Too bad some couldn't attend to make it even greater.

Big thank you to all!

Regards,

Josep

All home safely after an 11 hour journey from the ferry at St Malo to home in the south of France. This was my 13th VIM. My son Lewis thoroughly enjoyed the experience and loved meeting so many interesting people. He is determined to return some day to ride the island with some younger bikers. :)

I had a problem in Portsmouth when I unwittingly rode over a piece of man made cloth and it entangled in my rear brake system. The ABS light started to flash and I had to cut away the excess and take a chance to ride it home. I stripped the caliper today and this is what I found. I am guessing that the disc will need replacing. Thanks for a great VIM, great organising by Big Dave and team.

Arrived save and secure back home last Teusday. After VIM I visited the Lake District and the NC500 which where both brilliant.

Done almost 4.000km and the CRF1000 has proven to be a perfect one-up travel companion.

Dave, Linda, Spencer and Stewart tnx for taking us to the Isle of Man for another great VIM. Looking forward meeting you all again next year in Germany!

Home, sweet Home.
After 4 weeks and 4 days we arrived safely to Oslo last evening.
We drove 7659 km, used 4 ferries and spent lots of money on fuel and beers.
Average speed 65 km/h and top speed 146.

Thanks a lot to all you lovely people that we met.
Thanks even more to Big Dave, Wifey, Stewart and Spencer for organising.

See you in some forest in Germany in less than a year  VCIF_ThumbUp
