Waiting for a ferry across the river Rhine in Germany.

Glad we arrive here after the heat wave, 25c now and acceptable for motorcycling.

Could have also stayed at the Little Britain Inn Hotel, nearby Remangen.

We rode over the Rhine yesterday on the way back to UK. We rode down to the Alps on the Transalp, mainly spending time in Switzerland and the Black Forest in Germany arrived back up in Belgium tonight, then back to UK tomorrow. You're lucky the temperature has dropped. The temp was great up Stelvio Pass and all the other high Alps passes but otherwise it's been sweltering.

That's a great trip to make Julie👍. I did the Stevlio Pass on the Jota a few years ago on my way to Bragenza, absolutely awesome. I did a similar trip to Switzerland a couple of years later on my Triumph ST1050 and warped the front discs on the decent! The Black Forrest is a hidden gem of a place to visit 👍

At Lerwick last week waiting to board the overnight ferry to Aberdeen.


Chatting with a lady riding a 900 Tiger on her way to Aberdeen for a service.
