A week has gone by since our last Blog update and it has flown past. We did receive quite a few reactions to that last one: several readers have offered themselves as web master. In the end we have decided on Annemiek’s sister, Nannet. She manages her own site and is familiar with our software. Many thanks to all who have offered their services. And to Nannet of course.
We also spend a day at the Yamaha Motor Europe Training centre. That turned out to be both fun and very informative. In no time a brand new XT was reduced to a heap of parts. After the course our teacher Wil Brugman wanted his bike back. It was amazing how fast your Criss CrOz team managed to produce a working XT out of this pile of assorted parts. This bike was definitely designed with easy servicing in mind. A reassuring thought.
Something totally different: we have received a lot of questions regarding our sweepstakes. Quite a few people have obviously taken our questions serious and spared no time and effort trying to figure out how often we are going to refuel. These folks were quite worried that the smaller tank would negate all their hard work, and rightly so. We discussed the subject at length and even considered dropping the question all together. But then our good friend at Yamaha Motor Australia, Ray Howard, found us a great solution. A plastic tank will be mounted on the back of our bikes, bringing the fuel capacity back up to the old 23 litre. So, no worries, the question stays the way it was and we probably won’t have to push.
While we are on the subject, please be aware that our sweepstakes will close September 1st. Thereafter you will be able to still donate, but you will not be eligible for the one of the wonderful prizes. More info in the upcoming news letter.
Right, that leaves us with a reminder: don’t forget the farewell party at ten Kate Motors in Nieuwleusen. This coming Saturday August 15th we will be officially seen off. The precise program is still a bit of a secret but music, food and drink will be present. And so should you. Party kicks off around 3 P.M., make sure you’re there!
See you Saturday!
