End of the season - end of the good mood?

Approaching autumn and winter

I am not a fan of this period of the year. The motorcycle season is getting to an end, and we miss the sun on the latitude where I live. It is though to see the darkness, and automatically I start to sleep more. Well, this is not only bad, as this gives me a great opportunity to dream more about the forthcomming season.. I would like to live in Cape Town, South Africa, as I have been there several times. Great country, great temperatures and Killarny Race track located just outside the city means some entertainment are assured. OK - it might get a bit hot in the summertime, but I can live with it.  Did anybody mention sunny California as a good alternative? Never been there, but sourly sounds great.

Extreme motorcycle destinations

Long time no blog... This time I will like to write a bit about extreme experience. There are no problems with a long tour from Denmark to Italy, passing 1 000 km of German highway. That I have tried, and it was great.I have found interest in special places to go, and I admire the bikers who thinks untraditional.

Riding the motorcycle is great - no doubt about that. You feel united with all motorcyclists, and you salute them when you meet in the traffic. We are all the same, or what?

Bacisally we can be grouped in some well know catagories:

Slightly modified motorcycles

Motorcycle tour memory lane - version 1

Personal safety on a motorcycle has had many faces over the years. I have been riding motor cycles for 23 years, and always focused on personal safety. And one thing is for sure, what was considered top class safe back then is not up to speed today. When I bought the Honda CB 400F back in 1986 as a second hand, I also looked for a leather outfit. The Dainese was bought as a second hand and used until 1993. There were only a nylon alternative to leather, why the leather was considered pretty good. Now it is necessary to define good.

Does good mean?:

Well, if good means it protects your skin if you are down kissing the tarmac, then

Web site for motorcyclistes

Development of a web page takes a bit longer than expected. Much  longer.

And this extra time we have spend now - and we are pretty satisfied with the result. Now it is time to get concerned if the members like our web site... Now we have reached the point where the development team are fine-tuning the last bits and pieces, so now we can see light at the end of the tunnel.  We have been together with the team for the a period, where many aspects have been discussed, fine-tuning and preparation made to get a stable web site.
