It is now official. I just spoke with Tracy and I have placed my deposit.

She offered me a 1600cc Beemer but I told her I was looking for something with better handling and more power.... like a Vespa.

Currently there are only the 1200cc bikes confirmed to be available but the company is in negotiations over bikes for next year and in about 4 weeks time they will have the bikes finalized and I'll probably get a 650 V-Strom which will work just fine for me.

Alrighty-Roo, we're now up to eight riders with their $500 deposit money into Tri Community Travel and Ms. Henry; this'll be the #1 moto trip of a lifetime!

Here is a picture taken this morning at sunrise from the top of the Grossglockner Pass, Austria at 3 degrees Celsius. It will be a lot warmer when we ride it next August. All of the Grossglockner National Park web cameras are here: https://www.grossglockner.at/

Here is a video on the way up to Grossglockner Pass in August 2010.

I remember that the temporary on the top was 7/8 degrees Celsius.

That's great. I received an e-mail from Tracy confirming my second choice of a F800ST BMW.

One question.... Do you have a suitcase large enough to pack Pam?

That's all fine an good Gumby..... But where's Pam gonna sit?

 

[yamafitter]

I just got around to going over to the super mailbox and picked up my paperwork.

I also looked into flights and found a good rate with Air Transat flying directly to Munich from Toronto.

They only fly once a week into Munich so it looks like I'll fly out on July 31st and spend a week around Bavaria before jumping on the bike.

I'll then return home on Aug 15th just in time to jump on the FJR and head out for NERDS. We have a plan.
