Man, this looks like an outstanding trip! Great photos of some real historical places and great stories to boot! Thanks for sharing!


"I laugh at your little American Dragon!" - My favorite quote from your ride report. Kind of like "I fart in your general direction!" I agree tho - those mountain roads make the Dragon look like a lizard.

The crater itself - "With a diameter of approximately 300ft (91 metres)and a depth of 70ft (21 metres) it remains the largest crater ever made by man in anger."

Tyne Cot cemetery near Ypres in Belgium. 11954 graves, of which 8367 are unknown; many were no more than just boys.  The wall at the back bears the names of a further 34959 British and New Zealand soldiers with no known grave.

First sight of the rows of headstones takes your breath away, from the sheer number.  It is impossible to be unmoved.

Thanks BE!  :drink:  I'm glad you liked my report and photos (and my little bit of humour!)  ;D

It was indeed a fabulous trip.

You'd be welcome anytime, Bow!  Harley riders are never strangers - they are just friends you haven't met yet!  :2vrolijk_21:
