Yes, Rolf, i was absolutely sure about, that you know all about snow and ice,... hey, you´re an norwegian, who will tell you something new abouit snow...?
( It´s only, whenever i see bikes on wet, salted streets, i feel pain in my eyes...)

Bye the way: Maybe it happens and you´re gonna go southways,..If you ever cross the german borderline from the  north on way to south, give me a sign and we can meet us for a drink...Hamburg is just one good time full throttle away from denmarks south...;-)
Greetings, Joe

Today, my wife and I went on a cross-country trip in beautiful weather. We stopped for fish and chips at one point, and then at another stop, we had a portion of ice cream. It was a very pleasant 160 km through very beautiful countryside.



Pictures are at the "Fish`n chips-restaurant"...directly at the river,...Life can be sooo beautyful...!

Normally, when I ride my motorcycle, I don't think about taking photos and therefore don't stop, but I've decided to take a few pictures of northern Germany's regions for the forum from time to time. ...to keep it continued:



There are the small, narrow streets on the dikes along the tributaries of the big river "Elbe" that are very beautiful and a lot of fun to drive...

Yes, you can bet on it,...and not just in the city, but also around Hamburg, along the Elbe and all its tributaries and the harbor,,it's completely "dyked"...and Hamburg has more bridges than Venice! - But i like more to ride outside of the city, fine little country-roads through the nature,forests,.. with not so much traffic, ( and controls ;-)

And another ride report.. :Today I went on a little trip to the beautiful town of Lauenburg with my best friend (he has a worn-out hip and can't ride long distances anymore), so the total distance was about 200 km. Lauenburg is also located directly on the Elbe River and has a very well-preserved old town, with some houses more than 400 years old. So we eat a little, have an ice cream also,..and all in all, we´ve had a phantastic day with our bikes !!
