The French Harley rider (French but living in California!) you refer to, Doug,
is me: Antoine Compin and I have 2 e-mail adresses: antoine@usa.net, or
acompin@earthlink.net.
As for Neutral Meeting Places: I can tell you they never work...These events
pack a lot of interesting things to do in a very short period of time... Who,
in his right mind is going to stay idle at some neutral meeting point on the
off-chance that someone will show up at the appointed time? Not me, for
sure...
As for getting in touch with me, I gave you my camping site
(Vierville-sur-Mer,
MVCG France) and told you to look for a big Platoon tent with a Military
Police
sign and a bunch of Harleys in front... and, as I mentioned in earlier posts,
come early morning or when it's dark..the rest of the time we'll be
ridin'...and having fun for the most of the measly 4 or 5 days we have...
OK, I have given you my $0.02...
This being said, I will always be as helpful as possible to anyone coming to
me.. I just can't do any more than that...For me, who lives in California,
it's
once every five years, guys..come on, have a heart...
