If anyone is interested, S-Dog has hosted my ride report on the NE Honda Guys site.

Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you like it!

That link takes you directly to the story.  And what a story.  It was almost like I went.


....except none of the actual fun of doing it.

Great ride report!

You should post it over at advrider as well.

I'm itching to ride sooooooo bad now.

Thank you both, I'm really glad it was inspiring to you!

I didn't know about the advrider site until now Ben, have you checked out the sport-touring.net site?

And once again thanks Scott for posting it for me!

My dream is that you guys all come over to France and we ride through the Pyrenees together. My hope is we can take a cool ride someplace closer this season together. Tell me when to start planning!

I checked that place out on Google satellite, it's pretty squiggly!! I have a feeling that there are many interesting roads through the various european mountain ranges, as the roads were put in before civil engineering was even a term. They went around and over rather than through.

I'm working on getting the place in shape. I'm going to try and purchase a Suzuki 750 Katana later this month, and if it's decent I'll find a couple more. That's the plan in my dream so far!
