That's cool and all, but needs a moto or 3...
FYI, I believe Salzburg is located in Austria... ;D
Toy box for grown ups [drool]

That's my new home away from home.
Great view and in the middle of riding heaven.

That's all kinds of badass. [evil]
Yes, as an Australian I can confirm that Salzburg is not in Australia, it is located in Austria.
But you would be surprised how many times when I visited America in 08 how many times the
wife and I got asked why we didn't talk with the same Accent as Arnold Schwarzenegger [bang]
My usual response was "Because there is a 9000 mile difference in where he is from, to where we are from"

Not every American is unaware of the difference between Austria and Australia.

I should clarify that I was in Las Vegas at the Time, and we mainly heard that from Taxi drivers.
Nuff said really!
The 1st couple of times we thought they were joking, after about the 5th or 6th time we kind of realized these
guys were serious when they asked the question! :o (maybe it's an in joke with the Taxi drivers?)
The vast majority of the time we found people in the USA were quite nice and polite, we had a great time
and we can't wait to return. The security at the Airport was a bit over zealous compared to what we are used
to here in Australia (The guy with the Rubber Gloves never did buy me that drink)

Is that a Redbull Apache too BTW??

i believe that's an ah-1 cobra, not an ah-64 apache.

You're right. I think the paint scheme threw me. Either way..badazz!! [evil]
BTW..the Taco Bell near my jobsite in Mesa is all about the Apache.
Yeah, I was eating there..before I heard about the whole meat thing this week. [cheeky] Anyway, it has a bunch of cool pics of them in action. I had forgotten they build them about 2 miles away from work. Saw a dozen of them flying single file out to the desert this morning. [thumbsup]
My first thought was "Holy Mother of ... That's a whole lot of people paying $2 for an itty-bitty can of water, sugar, caffeine, & taurine..."

Derby is correct. It's an TAH-1F. Single engine, two rotor blades, skids... The thing that really looks like an apache is the cockpit. Newer cobras have a bubble, apaches still have flat glass.
That particular Cobra was actually destroyed in a crash, then chopped in half, and stricken from the record. Then, someone picked up the "scrap metal" and rebuilt it.

I checked your spelling, just to see if perhaps I could be pompous too. ;)
(Also, you forgot your umlaut. ;D)
(Just takin' the piss....)
The biggest question I have. Is it open to the public??
Between the Porsche museum in Stuttgart, BMW museum / Deutscher Museum in München, and this collection in Salzburg we're talking a motorheads heaven. Stuttgart to Salzburg can't be more than 6 hours apart if you keep it wound out in the unrestricted zones on the autobahn.
