We each have to do what we can! From the UK we can now travel by 'land', via the tunnel under the Channel, into mainland Europe. Lots to see. In Budapest we chatted with some Canadian ladies who were holidaying alone, having left their husbands at home, spending a week here, another there!

 

wow that's one awsome trip

 

Thanks! You have some pretty awesome stuff you can get to see over there too!

 

Wow Graham it must have been awsome.

 

Strange thing is Hungary, or at least those parts we travelled through, are pretty flat, like some parts of the States, rolling cultivated countryside. Hungarian is incomprehensible, but some of their road signs are also in English. Very kind of them! Some days we had a lot of miles to cover, but enjoyed ourselves.

We persuaded the waitress in a Slovenian cafe, who spoke a little English, to write down what 'thank you' is in Slovenian. Answer is 'hvala' (pronounce the 'h'), which was a great success. Even people we later met who spoke good English and knew we were English responded to 'hvala' with warm smiles and 'prosim', which is literally 'please', but the normal reply. Transformed our time there!

 

Hey Mr. Brown...ya gonna post some pics of your travels? I for one would love to see them.
(btw...ya gonna paint that thing? :-] )

 

I must get around to posting some on Facebook, so family can see them. I'll post here when I have. My poor bike keeps getting the paint thing! I hope to return to sorting out my 6 gallon tank soon, which is black. That'll give it a new look! I quite fancy powder blue over dark chocolate brown for a new colour scheme, but am not sure I can afford to do it. That lovely birch white, with authentic factory transfers, cost enough!

 

well it sure is quite in here, maybe I should start a pot of java, and meditate ohm ohm ohm.

 

you are getting sleepy...... so sleepy...... hummmmmmmmm

I got new pipes, V&H Straight Shots. No more exhaust leak and rattle!

Ordered up a single fire ignition (before I knew it was the exhaust causing the popping etc)

No cake eaten lately. Maybe that's a winter thing?

Planning big rides, and not liking working so much. But thankful for working, just the same.

Hopefully July and August will be big miles months. On the 'books'-
Sturgis North
Bonneville Speed Week
San Francisco trip
Alberta in fall

(snap) you are awake and 20 lbs thinner!

 

Its quiet because we are not all asking questions about how to make our Denim Black Street Bobs look different to each others...... ;-)
