Neresheim I had never heard about, before June 30th 2018. After the encounter I’ll never forget that name. Might make stop there again, one day in the future. Farewell to Rothenburg It had been a short but pleasant stay. Walked through parts on foot, but there’s lots I never got to see. Definitely one of…read more>>

MC Adventure 2016 (6), Italy, Tirol and north again
The Timmelsjoch alpine road into Italy is a pretty awesome riding experience. That the fog hang or rather drifted across the mountainsides as I passed over, just added an extra dimension of drama to the whole experience. The higher the road climbed, the thicker the fog, until… Italy, or Italian “Tirolia” a little further up…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 15, returning north
The second last day was all about returning north. Time was up. Wanted to be back home and have a couple of days rest before returning to work. North through Germany Initially I’d decided to avoid the Autobahn as much as possible on this adventure. But returning north was about saving some time for the…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 14, border crossing
The next two legs were about border crossing, quite a bit of border crossing. The course was to be set northwest. Heavy weather was looming over Germany and central Europe. I had my share of mega-wetness the day before. So, west was the best. Farewell Switzerland Left the hotel not too early in the morning…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 11, The Dolomites
As it turned out, Hotel Gianzianella in Sottoguda was a good spot for staying a couple of nights. For one thing, the prices outside Cortina d’Ampezzo are better, the Dolomites are close by. Then there there are the roads! The Dolomites – when you’re at the doorstep in the literal sense of the word. Right…read more>>

A Sunny morning is never wrong, definitely not when out on an adventurous ride! The restaurant and breakfast area in Hotel Kornock has a very pleasant atmosphere. Took seat at a table,…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 8, into Austria
Will start this post more less like the previous; left the hotel in the morning and set course for Austria. A beautiful morning indeed. However, it started earlier than the previous. Much thanks to a group of women talking loudly front of the hotel, VERY early. Must have been around sunrise. They sat not too…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 7, Slovakia
Left Zakopane in the morning, set course for the Tatra Mountains and Slovakia. With high expectations for mountain road crossing that actually never took place. Tatra Mountains have few roads Much fewer than expected. In fact, almost none near Zakopane. Might be different further east. Whereas one elsewhere in Europe or Scandinavia, can choose…read more>>
PMS, Saturday procrastination, pics from the Spring part of the MC season
Meant to finish the next (and last) blog about my summer MC Adventure in Europe, but ended up going back to the beginning of the MC Season instead. Because of Faint PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome) maybe? Not unlikely, though its just been two weeks since I parked the bike. How will I survive winter! No it’ll be fine, but half the day vaporized due to procrastination. Suppose…read more>>
