Thanks for the offer! Right now, looks like I'll be South of there -- Stockholm to Copenhagen. But as it gets close, I may ride up that way or look to meet somewhere along the road.

I am really looking forward to this trip!

Cheers,

I'll be in (or passing through Hamburg) on a week from this-comin Sunday and then again on my return to Frankfurt.

On the road now with an unplanned ride to Harrisburg, PA, up to the AMCA Rhinebeck meet, on to a sidecar class near Boston and then Home Sunday.

I have more than 4 days planned to get to Nordkapp from Hamburg. I think I have 8 days planned. I'll have to look at the calendar again.

I'll drop you a note in a couple of days! I'd love to see the Miniatures Museum!

Cheers,

Can't believe it's just 48 hours until my flight! Arriving in Frankfurt on Thursday morning.

This is the page for the SPOT tracker. It's public, so does not need a password, etc. Just click on the link.

Nothing will start to appear until Sunday afternoon, though...

Hi Sirhdr

I hope that your trip to Nordkapp goes well. I have just checked the temperatures there and they are hovering around zero degrees centrigrade so I do hope that you have packed your warm clothes.

Lots of warm clothes along with heated grips and a heated vest.

I actually love cold weather riding!

Cheers and more to come from OTR.

On the road. Currently in Heppenheim until tomorrow Noon when the real miles start piling on. Rode up from Frankfurt yesterday after getting the bike loaded and sorted. She survived her trip well and is (so far) running great.

^^^ Loaded up and ready to go. With camping gear, about 70 pounds of weight. Not bad at all, most weight down low. It's not the MT... but will do in a pinch!
