What are you taking to le Mans this year? *Pics Required*
« on: May 18, 2009, 11:00:04 pm »
Hi all,

Steve from the Kanterbrau owners club kent here (T-shirts available shortly)

I think what is needed to help me get into the LM spirit is a thread with all the transport and anything else you fancy sharing a picture of, that will be gracing this years Le Mans 24.

If you are particulary pround of anything you are bringing or just want to show off your motor post a pic here. It does have to making this years trip though!


so this is my bike that will be travelling to Le Sarthe for the first time.



obviously i am aware that this thread may get hijacked but lets try and get as many pictures as possible and not deviate too far.

Steve

ps see you in BN i'll be there from monday pm

Probably that one, if the annual revision allows it...

Le Mans is life, anything before and after is just waiting...

... it's not the taking part but the winning that counts !

Plan A was to stuff all the gear into a Vectra estate and haul the bike down on a trailer. Had to  revert to plan B of riding the bike down all the way as the tow car is now history.



BMW R45 1981  One owner 146000 miles.  Should be in BN Mon p.m.

Cool! I always fancied an R65 when i was a schoolboy. Is the R45 as guttless as it's reputation would have you believe?
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

In a word, yes.  But it will cruise all day at 80 and the staggering lack of power translates to 20,000 miles on each rear tyre

So not all bad then. I guess then it's a bit like a bigger Honda 250N Superdream?  ;)

If I wasn't travelling by public transport I'd bring a John Brash sign to hang off your scaffold!
