Hi Bren,

the Black Forest is on my doorstep. By the way, June 8-10 is Touratech Travel Event in Niedereschach. I might pay them a visit.

Re: Greetings from Germany

Hey Steve, so you made it savely home, good! I'll have to check the mail over the next weeks to see if the French have any complaints. Some of their speed cameras are very sneaky and invisible until it's too late. A few years ago I got a ticket for 1 over in Lyon. Check out the HISS threat for the s...

The next day, friends from Germany arrived for another week of trail riding. Our originial plan was to follow the TET, but the overall bad weather forecast made us change our minds. We looked into other areas, but eventually decided to do daytours around the Isabena valley. Markus and Andreas had tr...

Re: HISS 2018 - the 'Official Ride Report(s)

Re: HISS 2018 - the 'Official Ride Report(s)

Hey folks, I had left home a few weeks early (actually in mid-March) which gave me the opportunity to propperly break-in the new tires for the HISS. In fact, I detoured via Morocco to leave rain and cold behind me. About 10 miles from the ferry I got a snake bite just before sunset. https://photos.s...
