Spent yesterday riding through northern Belgium/Holland with 50 likeminded 1400GTR riders.

For those who cannot see the linked images I have shrunk and attached them.
We had 51 1400GTRs turn up for the meet and one BMW GS :-)
We then rode from Kallo to Doel en masse (there is a video on Facebook) and then after some more photos we all made our own ways to Terneuzen for Lunch and then on to Blankenberge for a drink and finally to Ostende for Dinner.
The ride was FLAT as this is northern Belgium and Holland but mostly empty roads and fun people to ride with.
I enjoyed it and it was nice to see so many GTRs, all with their individual owners stamp on them.
The Facebook based group is for Dutch/Flemish speakers and they have 2 or 3 meets a year mostly with similar turnouts.

I'm sure they will understand us better than we understand ourselves. If all else fails, point at their bike and give a thumbs up  :mfr_lol:

Many of them speak very good English.
Certainly better than some on here  :popcorn:
Not sure how they'd cope with certain regional accents though.  :mfr_lol:
