I'm outta here

I'm leaving in a couple hours. I will get on a plane and fly to Manchester England, where I will borrow a motorcycle from someone I know from the V-Strom International forum. He has two V-Stroms, one of each size. The two of us will ride south and stay with another rider from the forum, then all three of us will take the Chunnel and ride to Germany. In Frankfurt we will meet up with several other riders from the forum, that are from various countries. We will ride to Slovenia, and even more riders will meet us on the way. Eventually there will be ten of us. We're going to ride around the Balkans, and various local riders are going to host us and join us for a day or two.

Apparently our visit is generating a lot of interest in some of the smaller, non-English-language V-Strom forums, and whole groups of riders are coming out to meet and greet us and show us all the cool little local places.

I'll be home on June 19th.
