Dave is now back home in Spain after a great trip to
Ameide, Holland, where he very much enjoyed riding a 250 NSU
Sportmax belonging to Jan Kostwinder. The NSU demonstration
event was efficiently organised by Jan, Jeroen van der Meer
and Evert Welvaart. Twenty or so NSU's and a large field of
other classic bike's were run on a cobbled, road circuit,
which must have been a bit hard on the suspension, and the
riders. The event was well attended, and a good time was had
by all.
Dave was very pleased to meet Ferry Brouwer of Arai
Helmets, and collect his new 'Hailwood' helmet, and wow!
what a fantastic helmet it is. Dave is thrilled to bit's
with it; shame his girlfriend won't let him wear it in
bed.!! Dave was very impressed when Ferry showed Dave the
hundred's and hundred's of different helmets that they have
made over the year's, with many famous one's instantly
recognisable.
Dave would like to say how much he enjoyed meeting such
friendly people, and a sincere thank you to Ferry Brouwer,
Jan, Maaike and Marco Kostwinder, Mario van Rooyan, Melvin
Frey, Roland Froyd and his son, Jan Heese, and Wim Heeroma,
who kindly sent us the photo's shown here. Thank you all for
your generous hospitality and he hope's to see you all again
soon.
