This year seen a change of mode of transport. After a hearty breakfast of 6 pints of Guinness and a bottle of JD before we boarded our Ryanair flight from Stansted to Frankfurt. On board was no better with more JD loads of wine to say we were wrecked would be an understatement. We hired a car, was that really required I hear you ask, well yes I reply because Ryanair dont fly to Frankfurt, the airport was roughly 120 clicks from where we wanted to be. We all squeezed into the limo and lo and behold the Sat Nav was in Italian, what a complete and utter lash up.

One of the many high points of this years trip for me has got to be the sexual deviant Geordie Jim. This pervert has got to be a danger to adults and dead animals, it is a surprise to all of us that we can travel freely from country to country with Jim without even a sniff from interpol.

Jim has a simple philosophy, "if there aint any women or dead animals about a bin bag will do me". You have been warned so look out for him in Faro.

After arriving at the tank factory and getting the bike out of the van, it was a race to the hotel, quick ball wash and back doing what we do best, drinking. A black eye on one of the crew later and it was Saturday already.
The show was a lot bigger this year and the quality of the bikes was truly stunning.
Hawg Haven entered the Las Vegas Wedding Bike 2004 which was built in a record 47 hours from scratch. The bike was a stunner but the judges were lookingfor something from a kit rather than hand made with barley twist chrome, as such the bike did not win. As usual the boys were not in the least bit pissed, by the end of the day Billy Bubb and Nobby had already decided on next years design.
