Do you have a way to transport it?

I'm sure someone here that lives in the Northeast has room for a bike for a while. How long before you're done in Spain?

I can put it on a pallet up on a shelf at the shop if you want. Can even shrink wrap it to keep it clean.


Thanks guys.  If I decide to settle in 'merica I'll look to keep it.  But I am considering going back abroad for the rest of the year or longer.  Lots of pieces moving right now, I'm getting a little dizzy.  ;)

Now that the garage is renovated and I can fit the car in, no room for another bike, but maybe outside, under a cover?

Sold the bike today. Sad moment.  Hopefully, the kid that bought it will get some good adventures out it.

When I get back from Spain it's time dust off the duc.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Just got back from the Camino de Santiago.  Very different trip than ADVing through Latin America---more spiritual and more social.  But since a few of you had asked about my next adventure, I thought I'd follow up.  For those that are curious, I have some pictures on the webpage in my signature (not posting here because it's non-moto related and also it is a PITA).  If you're retired and looking for a lengthy adventure that isn't too hard, I say look into it.  You have to like walking.  A lot.

I did it with my 75-yr old dad, a wonderful personal experience in and of itself and a memory to last me forever.

It is not that we're not interested . . . You mention going to Spain/Europe . . . Never said you were there already

This was one of the best threads ever on this forum.  Is there any way to restore the photos?

Not up to us.

Talk to the OP. It seems the pics are gone from flickr.

I keep hoping he'll turn it into the stellar book it can be.

I've encouraged him many times to do just this!  I think it would be great as a book.
