Now I understand why you said: "Ive moved from the Hague, back to the States" at least that's what you tryd (?) to say in Dutch....:thumbup

I live in Holland, Apeldoorn, and work as an MP, military (Koninklijke Marechaussee) that sounds Dutch/French, but is really the Dutch name for it.

I served for 6 months in Kosovo,just after the Serbian war there, so I know a somewhat of the Tribunal in The Haque, and also because i'm Dutch.

A Vet nurse tutor? That sounds like a great job. I've got horses, too. Don't enjoy bourbon though. It pretty much knocks me out. You must have a much better tolerance than me :thumbup

Hi there! Just a quick note to introduce myself...
My name's Eric, I live in Breda (The Netherlands) and am running a company active in fire protection.

Since last September I own a '04 Tuono, after a history with Kawa Z650, Kawa Z550, Honda XL500, Kawa Z750, Yamaha FZR1000, Yamaha YZF750 and a Cagiva V-Raptor 1000.

As the Tuono's really a bike with balls, I don't think I will sell it on short term. What a great funbike it is! :thumbup

Oh, and I'm also administrator of the Dutch Aprilia Riders Association, which has a very active and pleasant forum. See www.aprilia-riders.nl and www.aprilia-riders.nl/forum for more info... :D

Hi I'm a newbie to the RSVZone, I live in Gafa country (that's Great Amounts of F***k All) or Norfolk in the UK. I have a 2000 RSVR which I've owned from new and over the years have replaced just about everything I can in Carbon Fibre. I weighed it the other week and it was roughly 175Kg wet, not sure how that compares to other RSVR's? but it certainly seems a lot lighter than it was. and turns alot quicker.

I also have an 06 KTM LC4 Prestige Supermoto for when its wet and a Suzuki DRZ400 for when its really really wet & dirty.

I run my own company in Great Yarmouth supplying welding inspection and NDT equipment working all over the UK, Benelux and sometimes Gulf of Mexico.

Great forum keep up the good work, see y'all later.
