Currently in Oslo Norway, the stopintime S2R800 and in Yorkshire England (via Victoria Australia), the ungeheuer M1100s



In a week or so we'll be boarding ships from Norway to Germany and from England to the Netherlands.  The fun will commence in Oisterwijk, NL before heading south through Germany, Switzerland and into Italy.

Lars, like most Scandowegians, enjoys sadomasochistic challenges and will seek to mercilessly extract yet more high speed kilometers from his well traveled Monster whilst riding folded in half between almost no luggage.  Luxury it aint.  I however own a perfectly comfortable 1260 Multistrada, ideally suited to trans-European travel complete with copious capacity for hauling baggage.  So, naturally I'll be riding my Monster - squashed between tank and tail bags capable of carrying sweet bugger all for the duration.  Bad decisions make good stories  8)

Let's see how it goes...  ;D

Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

I'll be in Biggelaar's workshop three days, while my significantly other(wise) riding buddy has booked a table here:

Sadly gesloten Monday and Tuesday nights  :(   Leaving us only Wednesday night to... um... properly sample the offerings.... before an earlyish start the following morning for a long ride of fast Autobahn thrash.

One of my other riding buddies now wants the same deal next year - three days in the "pub" while I play in the workshop.
