Gemütlichkeit is the warm, comfortable feeling
one receives from pleasant surroundings and atmosphere.
I think you will find that when you come here.

A great link for touring from the American Motorcycle Association. (http://www.amadirectlink.com/roadride/riderresc/trip_planner.asp) Nice find Mika.

I'm not sure it is the most beautiful road in the world but the story (http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/features/122_0611_dan_walsh_on_the_run/) by Dan Walsh is a fine read on a cold winter morning.

Another good solution for overpants (http://www.webbikeworld.com/r3/roadgear/tierra-del-fuego-pants.htm).

Thanks M1KA
