Seminar on Riding the Balkans

Matej of Adriatic Moto Tours showed photos of the Balkans and talked about his company's tours through the region. The roads and scenery looked amazing and now I want to explore this part of Europe.
Bike Show
June 12 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F
This 1975 Kawasaki 750 two-strike triple was beautifully restored. I bet the paint and chrome looks better today than the day it rolled out the showroom door. In olden times, people rode brieflyRead more
BMW Authority Bike Demo
June 12 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 88 °F
Quinn Redeker led 2 other instructors in a demonstration of police rodeo skills. He was better than the others who were highly skilled. His balance and throttle control were superhuman.
Thunderstorm
June 12 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
It did not just pour down rain, the wind blew it sideways. One poor planner did not attach his rain fly to his tent. My tent flexed in the wind but did not budge from its stakes. Everything insideRead more
Band and Drawing
June 12 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F
The Phil Abair band played classic rock. Then Ted Moyer drew other people's names for a trip to Alaska and a new BMW R12 motorcycle.

Dinner at On Tap Tavern
June 13 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
We walked over to the On Tap Tavern for dinner. Even with the drinks, it will be the same price as the rally site vendors. There's the added benefit of the restaurant being air conditioned.

Packing up
June 14 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F
All good things come to an end and on the last day of the rally people got up early packed up and left. I was one of the last to leave and the club camping area looked so bare. Can't wait for the nextRead more

Fishing on Lake Champlain

Breakfast
June 14 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F
I passed a little diner with flag bunting and about 20 BMW motorcycles in the parking lot. Had to turn around and park for breakfast. They were crowded. The rather brusque waitress told me to wait myRead more

Horicon Village on Brandt Lake
June 14 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
This little town was so scenic that I knew I had to pull over for a photo. This is at the very end of Brandt lake and I suppose the fountain is to keep the water clear or else to help the fishRead more
