What follows is a ride report from May 2016.
Back then, my brother came from Germany for 6 weeks for the purpose of doing a cross country tour on my two trusty R1150GS. I bought the 2nd one just for this trip. Originally I posted the travel report on a German travel site, and now after almost a year I will transfer the report bit by bit to the BMW MOA site
The report will be heavy on pictures, with a few words sprinkled in-between. Oh, and it will be bi-lingual too, English AND German
Enjoy

Yesterday was the start of what will hopefully turn out to be a great trip. 5 weeks on bikes around the USA. I have been living here for 20 some years, and my brother just flew in from Germany to join me for this adventure.<br />Gestern began was hoffentlich ein guter Urlaub wird. Mit dem Moped 5 Wochen durch die USA. Ich lebe hier seit 20+ Jahren. Mein Bruder kommt extra aus D um an dem Abenteuer teilzuhaben.<br /><br />After a leasurly late lunch at the local watering hole I picked up "young man" at the Washington DC airport. With my car. Some people here go like:" What? You have a car?", since they always see me on my scoot.<br />Nach einem spaeten Mittagessen in der lokalen Bikerbar fuhr ich zum Flughafen um den jungen Hern abzuholen. Mit meinem Auto. Manche Leute hier sind immer ganz ueberrascht wenn Sie erfahren dass ich auch ein Auto besitze.<br /><br /><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7227/26907932255_3ff7b8017f_z.jpg" alt="Bild" /><br /><br /><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7309/26907945655_b488c55de3_z.jpg" alt="Bild" /><br /><br />Now, speaking of starting the adventure...... here is a little culprit: The starter of one of the bikes just went up..... so we have to deal with this first.<br />Und schon geht das Abenteuer los, weil mir gestern der Starter an meinem Moped verreckt ist .........<br /><br /><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7537/26302745544_92aefa6454_z.jpg
