One of my initial retirement plans was to spend a few months visiting Europe. But, now with the Muslimization of Europe, it's off my list. I'll spend my time and money in the US,

I just went to European Bike Week. Lots of good riding in the area, but the actual event is a lot tamer than Sturgis.
Trigeezer mentioned there are lots of Muslims (refugees) here, there really isn't except for in the the Major cities, even then you don't really see them out to much, atleast I haven't.
If you can afford to bring your bike to Europe and ride, you will not be disappointed with the scenery, roads and beer!

Then why are women in Germany being advised to carry pepper spray to ward off attacks by "refugees"?

My wife doesn't carry pepper spray, we currently live in Germany. Yes there have been issues here and they are getting reported due to them being refugees. But I feel safe here for my family. There are always threats of terrorism, but these days they are everywhere, to include the U.S.. she has been to concerts and done a couple of over night trips to places of interest and has had zero issues.

I always wanted to do this as well. And to say no cause of a couple towelheads are over there causing trouble...

Nah. Just be more careful than you would usually be in a strange place.

any european trip needs to include a Swiss alps ride and an Italian lakes ride. I live here and will never get tired of the Alps or Northern Italy.

Yep, sad. Europe is bent on committing suicide it seems.

"Towelheads"

Uh, first off, that'd be a Sikh, not a Muslim. And second, this is a public forum with lots of guests dropping by. Please don't feed into the stereotype that all Harley owners are bigots.

To all my fellow Harley riders in Europe, it's always fun visiting. First time on my honeymoon in Venice 33 years ago, and just recently on my daughter's graduation from St. Andrews. Each time I've always felt welcome, and safe.
