Day 3- unpacking the bike

Most of the other bike owners arrived today as a group. Teo organised a bus from the airport and they picked us up on the way to the warehouse. It's was lovely to see Teo. We had 24 bikes to uncrate and build 

It's was quite a job. Especially as some people had removed front wheels brakes etc. 

Most people were helpful 

Here is Brian installing a front wheel. Girls Brian takes all those beautiful photos of the boy's and made the videos. 

My body weight came in handy keeping this front wheel off the ground. 

Here is Gertrude 

She arrived in perfect condition and because we packed her so well she was ready to roll in no time. Once all the bikes were together we put some fuel in them checked the tyres and everyone headed back to Nijmegen. After they all left Teo and Jan took us to see the bikes waiting for import. 5 of them are ours

Here is Hercules. He is going to be a fantastic project the bike is very honed. In fact they all are. The Galletto scooter ( named "rooster") is particularly good. So is the 500 racer. Lisa's Lario 650 is in great original condition. Her name is Lara. 

We headed of to town on busy roads and freeway. It was a bit nerve wracking being on the right hand side of the road but all went well. 

We had a quiet cuppa with Jan and Teo after dinner. We will see them again in a couple of weeks. They are starting to pack the container with all the import bikes. 

Tomorrow we leave for the ferry to the UK
