If you read my postings over at Sticky Apple Kisses.com you know that we have an old DDR Simson Schwalbe in the restoration process at the moment. I should be ready to own the roads of Stuttgart sometime the middle of February. Or a little after (I am in Madrid from Feb. 8th – 10th, and then I come back for 2 days before heading to Croatia for almost a week with Liana.) So maybe the end of February then. 
However come the end of March beginning of April I hope to have my F 650. This is my beautiful baby!
See she even speaks to me!!!!!!!!!!!! If we decide that Africa is not the best place (and I am a little scared of the sand) we are thinking of going back to South America and driving home to Newfoundland. This bike can defiantly mover NYC and beyond! The only obstacle will be if I can not get my work permit renewed. Should that happen then I wont buy the bike, and I will use the money saved for the trip and hop on the back with Patrick. So fingers crossed my health insurance passes the test!
