Nice trip, great pictures (getting the hang of the viewfinder, MR?)

Way to go on your first long trip on your own bike Trudy- you da' woman.

Many more happy and safe miles.

Looks like a great time. Thanks for the post and super photos.

Funny ain't it, how the sights, scenery, smells, food, spirits, adventure etc, all seem so much more focused while on a motorcycle trip.

I swear if there's really is a fountain of youth, it's during a road trek on the back of a good running (beemer) motorcycle.

Hi, Scott,
Great report over on Pashnit. My heartiest congratulations to Trudy. Soon she'll be just like Harriet, my late wife. In 1984 I couldn't go to Germany to pick up the R100RS I had ordered, so Harriet went. 4200 miles (and one month) later, I see my wife again and the bike for the first time. In 2003, Harriet wanted another bike, so I found a K75 in New Jersey on fleabay. (It's the red bike I rode to Hungry Dungee last year.) Again, I couldn't go get it, so she flew there and rode it back home to El Paso. Soon you will be telling the same type of stories about Trudy!

That's really mean showing all that food - it's 11 pm now and my gut is screaming for a taste of any of that.
Cool country though.

Wonderful report! Great to see that you both had a good trip, specially your wife, starring as a rider in her Magna. Very Happy

I'll tell you what I enjoyed more to see, from this side of the Atlantic: the scenery, the food and the layed-back feeling of the photos. Very nice!

After such a long trip, is Trudy crying for some more? Smile

A suggestion: ask her to write a small text with her impressions and post it here, next to some photos. I'd like to see that on K11 OG. Am I the only one?

Congratulations! Wink
