Who has any holiday plans this year? I’m off to the USA for three weeks in September. Road trip to visit friends and plan on visiting Noah’s Ark while I am there.
Gimme a holla when you get here. Could take you down to Tennessee for a bit of riding if you'd like.
Some good riding in KY as well, but not too much.

Tires on my m/c trailer were looking pretty ratty, not good enough for the 1,500 miles I need to do next week with some bikes. So off to WalMart to get a new set - they come pre-mounted on trailer rims and are around $160 each.
I get some other crap while I'm there, go through the check out line and the lady working there was a complete idiot. Had a hard time ringing stuff up , etc. I pay, get my receipt and go home.
At home, I check the receipt; she gave me my other stuff for cheap and didn't even charge me for the rims and tires! I got outta there for $20.16.
Normally I'd have said something, but I didn't look until I got home and WalMart is about 45 miles away. So it looks like I got free tires!

I've got to get over to Wales to ride some. Did years ago and liked it, but would like to go back. Maybe Summer 2026

thats some garage ..mines about the size of the trailer next to it
I also wanna build a tiny cabin or two for visiting bike riders. Plenty of room behind the garages for them and I've always wanted to build one. Something like these:

Thanks! Should have loads of great ride reports once I get moved in.
The new place has 5+ acres of land and a small shop out back - actually two shops in one. Smaller one to the right will be bikes only and the rest will be welding and woodshop stuff ....

Packing for the move that begins next week. Entire house contents are boxed up and ready for the movers.
We'll be in for a culture shock; moving from one of the wealthiest areas of the USA to one of the poorest. But the riding in Appalachia is great and I'm looking forward to it....

The village is at about 1000m, the top of the ski area is a glacier at about 3000m.
It’s sunny today and just above freezing.
Lower than I thought it would have been. Cool.
Our house is at 10,000' / 3048 meters. Cool today at 4F / -16C . Some pics from the journey to town today...

Ditto. Got about 8 inches of new snow today - to put on top of the old snow.
What elevation are you at in Switzerland?

That looks epic.
Hope so. It;s gonna cost a fair amount to do this trip, hope it's worth the effort and cost.
So far, just myself and riding mate Odd Todd are going. But if anyone else wants to tag along, they are most welcomed to do so.

I clean mine off with Honda Polish after each ride for the exterior and wash the liner about once a year, That and a new helmet every three to four years.
Doesn't smell too bad as far as I know.
