I was on my way home from Nordkapp, September and hotels were really cheap. Always bloody raining though until I got down towards Lithuania. In fact it was the same most of the way to Auschwitz except for a couple of afternoons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mess Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Here's a older one of my Blue Blackbird in Oregon. The building is the old world war 2 blimp hanger. the next one is the Columbia river where it meets the Pacific ocean. Grand Canyon shot Old gas station in Utah Bonneville Salt flats in Utah I loved that Blackbird, It was simply bullet proof. Sold it to a friend with 160000 kilometers on the clocks. Over 100000 kilometers on it alone came from touring across Canada and the States a bunch of times. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 OK......I've sorted images into a balance of forward left, forward right, and centre. I estimate we'll get 3 lefts, 3 rights, and 1 centre in. So I've sent all the info off to my boy in NL to come up with something......he doesn't know one bike from another so he'll select the ones that are of the best quality. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
