Hoping to come to TT in '11
Do 23 Sep, 2010 11:02
Hello!
first, I apologize, as mein Deutsch ist klein!
My name is Doug, I live in Alabama USA in the winter, & travel in the summer. I've done a couple trips around the world on old bikes (Indian & Harley)
I also have a cafe/hotel for bikers in Bulgaria
www.motosapiens.org
I was told about the TT from Nanno, and would really like to come to the next one, as I have never ridden in the alps in the winter.
OK, I have never even CONSIDERED riding in the alps in the winter, but it sounds like alot of fun, and I enjoy that your meeting is not a drunkfest as many of them seem to be.
Anyhow, I thought it would be good to introduce myself, as I will apply for an invitation when it becomes available.
I dont know what bike I will ride yet, as I will have to buy/rent something before february.
I am going to build a sportster offroad bike to try the road of bones to magadan, russia next summer, so if that is done in time, maybe I will just ship that over.....
but it depends on if it is done!
Danke! Doug
this is the google translation, so if is not too good, blame them
Mein Name ist Doug, ich lebe in Alabama USA im Winter, und Reisen in den Sommer. Ich habe ein paar Fahrten auf der ganzen Welt auf alten Bikes (Harley Indian & Fertig)
Ich war über die TT aus Nanno erzählt, und würde wirklich gerne kommen die nächsten ein, wie ich noch nie geritten in den Alpen im Winter.
OK, ich habe noch nie sogar als Reiten in den Alpen im Winter, aber es klingt wie eine Menge Spaß, und ich genießen, dass Ihre Veranstaltung nicht um ein drunkfest da viele von ihnen zu sein scheinen.
Jedenfalls dachte ich, es wäre gut, mich vorzustellen, wie ich für eine Einladung wird gelten, wenn sie verfügbar sind.
Ich weiß nicht, was ich noch Fahrrad fahren, wie ich will zu kaufen / mieten etwas vor Februar.
Ich werde eine Sportster bauen Offroad-Bike auf der Straße von Knochen nach Magadan versuchen, Russland im nächsten Sommer, wenn das so ist in der Zeit getan, vielleicht werde ich nur Schiff, das mehr als .....
aber es hängt davon ab, ob es gemacht wird!
Danke! Doug

Hi Doug
No need of google-translations. Just if you want to make us smile.
Riding a bike in Winter in the alps is a lot of fun, and you wont find a better company doing that, than the members of the AiA and their friends. If your sporty will be ready, I would like to see it on the hill. It could inspire me to make kind of a winter-cafe-racer from my old sporty. If you are not ready with the bike, I invite you to take one of my bikes for the tour to TT. I have allways some bikes more here, than I am able to ride at a time....
cheers

Hey Andreas,
wow, I guess I know a few people on this board!
I'd love to ride the russian bitch in the mountains. however, riding it from Bulgaria to Austria.... not so much!
Hey Fleisspelz
thanks for the offer!
I really like the flathead in the picture, can I ride that one?
just kidding.... But thank you, and if I cant finish the sporty in time, or find a cheap outfit to buy, I may take you up on that.
I really wanna come to the TT, my girlfriend already said I was crazy, & she was going to stay home, so THAT part is taken care of!
hahaha

Why don't you just put some new Duros on your harley and just use the current bike for the TT ?
(Considering how far you got with it until now... this shouldn't be too hard and you have a solid basis to start from!)
Cheers,
Greg

Nano's got a point here - and havent you got an interesting bike, too, lately in Bulgaria ?
Stop joking -the Harley with good Staudacher chains -which the forum would organize for you- could very well do it.
Your new Ural might need to much attention to get her ready on your timeframe.
Off course the sporty would be really interesting - you might start a trend there
BTW. :
seems like some Asians from the other side of the Bosporus want to come, too
