I headed through the rolling hills A4highway of Luxembourg to France  via Metz towards Nancy
I wasnt paying attention and was flashed as i rode past an unmarked dark car at the bottom of a dip, unless there was a reduced speed limit there i dont think i speeding to much. Further up the gradient i saw two motorcycle cops, fcuk i thought, one was sitting on his bike the other standing in front of him facing him, i slowed a little but rode past them, over the nest cresent i could see a cop in my mirror, but he overtook me and the car infront and took the exit road, so i will have to wait to see if i recieve something in the mail.

after Luxembourg i jumped off the highway and took the route national roads through the moselle and alsasce regions of france

after an enjoyable afternoon with ever warming temps i arrived back in switzerland where there was a big increase in temp, so i jumped into the first tankstelle to strip off a bit of clothing only to ride into a Polizei control, got through without getting stopped, and continued the last hour home, my wife was working evening shift and as i hadnt had lunch i rode straight to my local chinese for a 4pm early evening meal. After prawn curry with rice and a coke i rode the last 10mins home.
So  there we are guys, i hope you enjoyed following my trip.

Here is something u guys will remember

[ice6900]

Pay back!

last 2 pics were from my friends cam, if u can make it out there was this scaffolding construction and somehow a red Honda touring motorcycle was parked behind, we were all wondering how in hell this bike managed to get into a Harley/Indian only event, where all other makes of bike have a parking area outside of the rally area.
The next day somebody put up this billboard, of the guy in a Honda leather jacket pssing on the MOCO memorial.

Then we realised that this was payback, this was a temporary pissoir, the poor bike was sprayed with urine all nite!

Nail varnish? AGAIN?

lunch break by the marina in Vaasa


update on the scratched lower frame,
due to the hot weather my lips were starting to feel chapped so i went to a supermarket to by some lip salve, had to asked a female assistant where to find it, then i thought get some dark purple nail vanish to touch up the exposed metal under the frame, there was a lady standing near us when i was discussing with Rob which shade i was looking for when she started giggling at the sight of two bikers discussing nail polish, so i explained the reason for my purchase, thats a great tip she exclaimed i will have to remember that next time i scratch my car!, then a few seconds later she came back and asked is this what your lookin for?, sure is lady thank alot!
