Hans-Peter...
Were you visiting the U.S. while riding bikes back in the mid-to-late 90's or very early 2000's?
(memory is not so sharp - lots of miles have passed since them)
Just a wild shot - we had some friends who met a Hans-Peter here in the U.S. then they went to Germany and rode bikes with him there. The pictures of Germany were beautiful and the stories were very interesting.
@paws: Sorry, was not me. My last Trip to USA was in February 1991, first to Florida (roundtrip, scubadiving and meeting a friend) and then a couple of days to NY City, visiting my ount.

Lately, every night when I ride to work. Especially tonight though, because when I walked outside the air felt warm as bath water. Just a nice ride in. I love riding at night, even though it is quite a bit more dangerous. Lots of deer around here to dodge.

Wiped down the trikes today in preparation for a nice little ride tomorrow up to Reno, NV to escape this heat wave that is coming in, all this week 100 deg. plus.
Casual ride of 150 miles each way up beautiful Hi-88.....and few days of R&R.
Yesterday was a barbecue with the family, less time to ride and no time to post, but today...
I started yesterday morning at 08:00, the target was the Walchensee.
As you see, I started the ride in anticipation of mixed weather
Next stop at the Kochelsee, a nice lake and target for a lot of tourists
Here a view from near the pass of the Kesselberg (the street from the Kochelsee up to the Walchensee) back to the Kochelsee (bikes are banned on this street on weekends, many accidents in the past, but I am declared as a car )
Then, up at the Walchensee
Where I met some other Trikes at the coffee break
From the further ride back I have no pictures, because the weather was rainy and my camera is not water resistant
The ride continued over the Silvenstein Speicher, a barrier lake and the Tegernsee, also a big Tourist attaction, Holzkirchen and some little villages back to Munich.
I hoped that I can attach you a .gpx file, but it seems, that the board does not support this.
By the way, does anyone remember the film "The Vikings" from 1958 with Kirk Douglas? It was partly filmed at the Walchensee.

Yesterday, Barbeque at friends in Pfaffenhofen, about 80 KM over very little streets, a nice short ride.
Photo near Schrobenhausen (there they grow a very good asparagus)
They have a lot of little beer brewerys around Pfaffenhofen, so I had to taste them all , fortunately, my friends offered me, to sleep there.
Today, nice ride back, over Moosburg, the wether seems to be bad, but I got only a couple of raindrops.
Guess across which district I dove back to Munich?
The Holledau, there they grow the best hops for making beer

Put 210.00 miles on the bike this weekend following 2 3 other riders through the twisted of the Great Smokie Mountains. A little warm for this time of the year but a great ride anyway...
If you notice the two pictures of the trike, the reflectors on the fenders and forks fell off on the trip. I have the bullet lens on the front turns which takes care of the side view at night, and which are great for turn signals in the day time. Jim

No longer riding, memories, memories
At Wednesday I started a trip across the country, to visit a friend in Lübeck. A 950 km ride that I did in 2 days, apart from 150 km Highway I only took small roads.
A lot of "Fahrvergnügen" (you remember the old BMW slogan) in the Türinger-Wald on the first Day and also very nice to drive in Lauenburg.
Here some picturs (could not post earlier, because of PC problems )

My friend here is also a Biker, but "only" on 2 Wheels.
Yesterday was bad weather, but today it was cloudy but dry, so lets ride a little bit.
My trike sees the ocean the first time, in this case the Ostsee
then over nice little villages
to the Bungsberg, the highest point in Schleswig-Holstein, with enormous 138 meters hight above sea level
A nice 150 km ride.

200 mile ride today with friends on some twisty country & mountain roads to celebrate my wife's birthday and our wedding anniversary. Ate at one of our favorite BBQ stops (Earthdog Cafe) in Berkeley Springs, WV and ended the day with a stop for ice cream close to home. Good day to ride!
"I don't need a map. I still have a road in front of me!"
Today we drove via very small roads
to the marina of Boltenhagen, where we had a very good Lunch
The way back went over Priwall over the river Elbe by a Ferry, first time for the Trike to be on a ship
Nice view to Travemünde
And on the way back a short stop at a pair of storks (is this right, my dictionary does not know the plural of stork)

I did not know where to post, so I resurrect this old thread ...
The end of the season is near, so I used the sunny wether yesterday for a trip from Munich, across the nice landscape in the Jachenau, crossed over to Austria, where I drove over the Kühtai in the Ötztal, over the pass Hahntennjoch into the valley Namlos (funny, that means "without name") and did my way back over Garmisch to Munich. 255 very nice Miles, mostly less traffic and splendid wather (probably the pictures give the wrong impression, but clouds look more dramatic than just blue sky )
The toll street along the Walchensee, in every bay a view nicer than the other
The ramp up to the pass Kühtai
The view back from the Hahntennjoch to the Ötztal
Look forward to the valley named "Noname"
