Yes, sometimes we were all out and driving around with the Kettenkrad on
the site. There were five Kettenkrads on site, but mine was the only one,
which was driving around, including in the deep mud of the off-road-course.
One was driving around only very few times and the rest was only on static
display.
Did a lot of joy rides with passengers, drove around more than 40 miles.

Yes, 10 points to Andreas, at least his KK got off-road dirty and looked as
if it just came back from the Ostfront as opposed to the pristine, don't
touch static ones, those with the interest, and he did get more lookers than
the museum specimens, actually got a self-drive trial, another 10 points and
my thanks. Its rare that a Kettenkradfixennführer lets the
dumkoffgerfingerpokennsightseerenn have a go at KKwagenfühering.
Two times we drove to the village Paddock Wood to go shopping in the
supermarket with the Kettenkrad.

What a hoot. :-)
Because I drove around so much, I couldn't take many photos. So if anyone
on the list has taken a picture of my Kettenkrad at Beltring, please send
me a copy by email to "a.mehlhorn@t-online.de".

I'll see what we can do. . . . . . . . .
It was a real big and nice event. Met many nice people and had a really
good time. (My wife enjoyed it, too.) We'll be there next year again.

Us too, same place next year.
