Straight after visiting Indiana, I make my way up to Wisconsin. I found a place online that has my favorite tires, and lucky that they specialize in custom design KTM parts! I just went there for my tires as they are not available in Indiana. You know I’ve always had issues with my side stand, and Craig from CJ Designs has created an adjustable side stand...
Who’da thought many years ago when I moved from Indiana to South Australia, that I would actually ride all the way back on a motorcycle!!?? I sure didn’t!!! Wasn’t even a blip on my radar.. Now that I have, it will probably be something I will remember in to my old age… ha! The last few months have been go go go.. so much...
This makes me think it looks like we’re flying in on the space shuttle!! Big apologies for an awfully behind blog.. lack of internet and being on the road have thrown me far behind.. as usual! This fly over part of the blog doesn’t really count, because I didn’t go to Iceland or Greenland. Iceland was simply a stopover on my way from the...
I think I mentioned that my original plans to travel north to England was via the French coast with a visit to Normandy.. This wasn’t going to work due to ridiculously bad weather, so I diverted to Switzerland.. good call!! Very happy I did! My next overnight stop in France, however, still welded some serious American history that I didn’t expect...
After I finished my bike service in France I made my way to a small town near Geneve Switzerland. I have friends here I met in Fiji a few years ago and they have invited me to stay. As I said, I am on a mission to go north, but this country is so beautiful… like SO beautiful, I stayed here two nights.. I won’t need to explain much as the photos will...
I’m running short on time and I need to get a move on through Spain and up into France. Problem is, I need service on the bike and desperately need a new rear tire! All those little stone streets in Portugal ate my tire right up and it’s completely bald. But there is no where around here to get a new bike tire, the kind I want anyway...
Just a little blog post I would have liked to have included to finish up Portugal on the last one, but ran out of time. Back on the road again north of Porto, I get a text message from Miguel asking where I am.. I told him I was heading back into Spain shortly. He said wanted to show me more of Portugal first. Mmmm.. should I? I was feeling I moved too...
It’s another beautiful day in Portugal.. we’re off and running! A quick visit into Santar and a peek at the Duke of Portugal‘s house. Really good looking place and we also peeked through the gate to the back yard. Seems like a pretty normal house for royalty.. but it does carry on a bit.. Now for a REAL CASTLE!! I know I’ve...
Aha!! New Camera project accomplished in Seville Spain.. finally! I’ve got somewhat normal photos again! Hallelujah!! Now I can get on the road again.. yay! I’m going to Portugal!~! I’ve been looking forward to this as it’s one of the main countries I wanted to see in Europe. As normal I follow the back routes...
My ride through the back roads to Seville was beautiful, but that dag gone camera! The photos are not going to work.. most of them are pure white and completely unusable. How I got the few I did, for who knows what reason. I’ll put up the ones I managed to tweek enough to post.. Meandering my way through so many great little Spanish villages. Their...
