We have looked into the prices to ship our bikes to Canada and the States, or more importantly, the cost of leaving them there. Shipping the Waves back to Germany makes little to no sense due to the costs of importing them. Well it appears that we will have the same problem if we want … Continue reading »

In my latest Chasing Summer article I look back at my three motorcycle accidents, ending with the most recent one in Mongolia! Mongolia Is A Beautiful Place To Crash

I am now loading up pictures from Mongolia and Lake Baikal, and as they are going relatively fast I might even be able to do some posting with pictures about them this week! Shock! But the reason we are back in Ulan Bator is to clue up this part of the trip, and the timing … Continue reading »

This time in 2 months, when everything goes according to plan, we should be on our bikes headed towards Italy! We are in Switzerland this weekend with the German’s family planning and plotting with his brother. We also received two awesome wallpapers from Journizer’s Andi Thiele who does the Journizer videos of our trips. This … Continue reading »

That was the first time I ever visited Italy. Growing up in Newfoundland Italy was always on my dream countries list (ok, even when you grow up in Europe it is still on your dream country list) and as I was visiting a friend in Switzerland we took his bike down for the day. (That … Continue reading »

Somtimes I forget just how much I love an author. I never would´ve denied that Terry Pratchett is a master of his craft and that he makes me pee every time. But every now and then there is a space of time between reading his books, and then I pick one up or reread him … Continue reading »

And it is HOT!!!! But not so hot that we are not able to completely love everything about the place!! The good news is the wait for the contraption Patrick has been wanting to create for his tools is complete! He bought a new tube in Romania and had been dragging it around the 2 … Continue reading »

So I am trying to update Journizer, and three blogs, and its not working so well. So if you want a lot of detail about the trip so far, head on over to Journizer, as I also only write about the trip there, and I dont digress about other things like cabinet knobs, but I … Continue reading »

So the plan today was to stay at this hotel we found last night (absolutely perfect, small, clean, SHOWERS, and a little resturant out front with wireless!!!). We as you could imagine were estatic. The last time we showered was in a little hotel just outside Sofia before we headed off to the Rila Monastary. … Continue reading »

And loving the trip so far. As you may have guessed from lack of internet updates, either by any of my blogs or emails (no its not just you Im ignoring, its everyone), internet has not been our friend on this trip so far. The first couple of days through Germany and Austria we had … Continue reading »

So tomorrow morning we are off! The bikes are ready – at least as ready as they are going to be! Patrick spent the day working on his handle bar protection and they just did not, would not fit. So this means that his contraption (contained in this bag) and which was to be assembled … Continue reading »
