First ride of the year!
« on: February 19, 2016, 04:50:04 AM »
Ford Focus died last week, it's still snow weather here in Germany but I put the battery back in the bike (what a PITA) and got out on the rode.  Heated handgrips and the RS fairing to the rescue, did great!  Now if only Germany didn't put such nasty salt on their roads...   :riding:

Currently planning a southern Europe tour before we head back to the States this summer.  Ideally, we'll take my father-in-law's 89 LT for the Europe tour (Germany-Austria-Slovenia-Croatia-Montenegro-Albania-Greece-Macedonia-Serbia-Austria-Germany)  and then take our '90 RS on a Pacific Northwest tour (Washington-Idaho-Montana-Wyoming-Idaho-Oregon-Washington) when we get to Seattle in August.  Should be a complete Brick summer!

Happy riding everyone

The Brick can hang no problem on the Autobahn!  Though it's a weird feeling to be going 110mph and have cars streak by you like you are standing still.

Brick not fast enough for the Auto Bahn.  I love those black ice events with hundreds of cars crashing

Or in lake effect whiteouts around the Great Lakes. 

Might get some more February brick time myself today.  Sunny and in the high 40's.
