u can sell Euro in Poland and u will get better exchange rate than here,even sell euro buy pounds in Poland still better off  but dont do above right on the border coz there is lowest rate I'm with HSBC they never charged me when I was buying something only charge was when I had to withdraw from ATM it's not worth to buy polish money here in UK better exchange there if any of you will buy polish money for 100£ it will be more than enough to get on site and pay camping fee and we can change money in poland, pound value still slowly growing against zloty

Tooday you get 4,65 Zlotych for 1 Euro or 5,10 Zlotych for 1,00 £ in "private exchange". In 2004 I've payed 7,00 Zlotych for 1,00 £ buying my Bonny in London  so we'll see what we get at July.

We have sold a few Americas & Speedmasters recently at the Triumph dealers that I do work for & I have been spreading the Bonnevilleamerica.com gospel to them & anyone that turns up on a America or Speedie. Today a Polish couple turned up & I mentioned the Euro Rally & I think they will be attending. The guy thinks he is already registered on the forum. Just doing my bit for the "Biggest European Bonnevilleamerica.com rally" P.S where the F**k is Dent anyway?

That is exactly what I thought last year and come up with a cunning plan to drive slowly up the M1 then M6 until I saw a bike that looked like mine with some bags strapped to it and follow it.
As it worked successfully for that jaunt I thought i'd give it a go by driving slowly from France towards Poland until I saw someone else riding a bike like mine with bags on it and follow them.
The preparation is going well but I can't seem to find any European handlebars that will allow me to drive on the opposite side of the road. 
Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

Why not start up a business organising bike rallies?
There is obviously a natural talent for it.
I'd guess 90% or more can be done over the 'phone or internet (e-mails) these days.
