No turning back now! My BMW GS1200A officially arrived in London today.!!! It has cleared customs, it is insured, and it has a motorcycle "Green Card" so I am ready to ride today. Now it is only 4+ weeks until I fly over and start the ride of a life time...... :)

Here is a fun sidebar... I made a new friend named Burt Welleford. He is riding his 1950 Vincent Black Shadow 10,000 miles around the perimeter of the United States as a fund raiser for the Shrinners Children's Hospital. We did a fund raiser for him last night and raised close to $1000 for the charity and had a great time too!

The Isle of Man TT, What an event!!

This will definitely be one of the high points of the trip. Aug. 23-26 I will be on the Isle of Man for the Classic TT race and motorcycle festival. Will post lots of photos and reports!!

This is the Stelvio Pass road. This road goes from Northern Italy across the Alps. It is the second highest road in all of Europe. Looking forward to riding across it.!!

This is why I ride a BMW GSA....It can go ANYWHERE!!
