Upper Highway Hunter

...almost untranslatable...

…seeing the Avatar, Obersturmbahnführer came to mind, but to make it sound more friendlier, and without negative thoughts, I thought Oberautobahnfahrer would be more appropriate...

I understand completely Ron, I was just having a bit of fun with your title, and not thinking there would be a translation, I was gob smacked when it came up with this


Which I'm more than happy with in fact I wonder if Gromit could add a sub forum using it for good roads

Phil, judging from your new avatar I'm guessing that we should refer to you as Herr Popsky from now on...

Funny you should say that Steve, but I wouldn't mine living in the Schwarzwald or der Mosel

Wow the Triumph is immaculate. I,ve never owned a triple but feel as though I should. I did have a test ride on a 1050 Speed Triple a few years ago and it sure moved the air bit of a hooligan machine....maybe one day.

...my wife said : ’…you can do what you want, but I think it's an utterly stupid idea ; a third bike in the garage...’

You can never have too many bikes in the garage! especially when they're all quite different. The Triumph looks up to your usual high standards too.

...gave the old girl a good rub...
...took me a sunday, and a monday morning...













...over the last 14 years..., and no..., that aren't miles...














...already swapped the orange indicator lenses for new white ones...
...and it looks much better...

...and a proper set of CNC milled bar end mirrors are on their way...

Hey Ron, did they run out of dark bricks when they built your house ?

...no..., just a money issue...

1) Hi Ron, nice bike.

2) I seem to remember when we last met you were facing redundancy ,I take it things worked out OK in the end.

3) Any plans to visit the UK again anytime soon? It would be good to see you.

1) Hi Reg !

2) yeah..., it worked out OK in the end, but..., sadly I'm again unemployed at this very moment.
Tough economical times over here, and very hard to find a decent job.

And very hard as in : almost impossible.

Almost turning 50, so..., too expensive for a job, an much too young for calling myself a 'pensionado'...

3) well…, we had some serious plans for visiting the UK & Ireland this summer..., but somehow we showed up in the South of France (April/May) and Italy (July)...
