Business or Pleasure............?

[Dutchman]

Have just returned from a 1600+ mile business trip to Germany.......

.......could have flown, but decided to take the bike.......

.....unfortunately, between appointments, I had to endure the autumnal delights of the Rhine & Mosel valleys.........plus lots in between........

Pleasure! Loved your report. I especially like the green of your GS; shame they don't offer that here. Great pictures--thanks for having us along.

Great shot!

So does white or red wine go better with your green bike?

Thanks for posting.

Yup. I am paying attention very well. What the heck am I doing in Norfolk, VA without a motorcycle?

Heh. I'm in DC without a bike.

Hmmm I have a rental vehicle cage...... I can easily see trouble brewing, but alas I fly back home at 5PM tomorrow.

I'm back at the show at 7:30 and then we break down the booth, grab a cab and try to get a 3:50 flight home. I'll be back in SF, CA at 6:30.

I've been gone a week, so it'll be fun to get back home. At least part of it was fun.

Very nice and very familiar pics, Dutch. I can't wait to get back!

For anyone else going, Wunderlich's relatively new store is still laid out like the old one, at least the last time I was there in 2004. They still don't have their products on display as most shops do, unless they changed that. You go to a counter and place your order.

Whereas Touratech's store has their items on the floor on shelves. Its nice to just browse.

Did you get to the Nürburgring...just a short drive from where those pics were taken?

[Dutchman]

Hi Alex

The showroom element of the store has several bikes loaded with Wunderlich goodies and seveal product displays as well as the service counter, coffee area and catalogues to perouse.......

I never visited the old premises but am told it's a great improvement......

Yes, I got to Nurburgring, several times last week as I was staying nearby....not to do a lap though, as it was closed.

Cheers

Bradford and Kbasa, never fear, I have your backs covered.

My car broke down 2 weeks ago, and I couldn't get it towed from my friends place until monday. I had to go on the road for work, and they were paying milage, so I took the bike. I've done nothing but ride a bike everywhere for the last 2 weeks. (I'm so glad I have all weather gear too.)

Been keeping track too. Just shy of 4500 miles in that time frame. I love it when work sends me out and pays me milage. :)

I wish it were in Europe, though.. Nice ride pics!

Friedel. It's probably the newest bike he's ever ridden. It was his first experience with heated grips too. :ha

I think he liked them.
