Lower than I thought it would have been. Cool. Our house is at 10,000' / 3048 meters. Cool today at 4F / -16C . Some pics from the journey to town today...

Yup, my hole is still bleeding and my farts no longer make a noise.

Ditto. Got about 8 inches of new snow today - to put on top of the old snow. What elevation are you at in Switzerland?

Hope so. It;s gonna cost a fair amount to do this trip, hope it's worth the effort and cost. So far, just myself and riding mate Odd Todd are going. But if anyone else wants to tag along, they are most welcomed to do so.

And not by accident.

I clean mine off with Honda Polish after each ride for the exterior and wash the liner about once a year, That and a new helmet every three to four years. Doesn't smell too bad as far as I know.

Planning next Summer's ride - that's what happens when you sit alone in you house for months one end in the Winter. So far, here's what I've come up with - 21 days and 9,300 miles. Who's in? Anyone?

Sheeit - that's the best part!

My first car was a '69 Impala 4 door. I think it got about 8 mpg - ggg. Could get me and 8 of my friends in that beast with no problem.

I'm still waiting on you to sell the house for me. Hurry up, will ya?

Not my home - the wife is from there. She hasn't been back for 45 years but wants to move there - so off we go as soon as the Colorado house sells. I'm moving the bikes and my shop now though.

Just got back from a 3,500 mile jaunt to Pennsylvania and back. Dropped off a couple of bikes to a storage unit in ohio. Gonna load up a couple more and do it again in a couple of weeks. Slowly moving stuff east,,,
