I did manage to buy some stuff which I needed for my tour next year. Not considered Christmas gifts as we don't really celebrate but it was on my "list"
-Sena SMH10 BT V3.0 headset -new Modular helmet with built-in sunscreen -brake flush for my R1200R
but no trip to the Alps, but I haven't checked my mail today just in case your air tickets came in
Can't wait for you to make that trip. It will be as close as I get to the alps and I know you will make me feel like I am there. Have a wonderful Christmas and a supurb 2013.
Trobairitz – There is only one way to deal with a bucket list. I hope you make it over here to Europe one day. I hope you had a great Christmas day.
Keith – Seasons Greetings to you. I will just have to make sure I take more pictures for you! It’s funny – I am not going to the Alps for months, but I just love planning road trips at this time of year.
Richard – And what a great present that is. I am looking forward to reading about your adventures on it.
This blog was originally started to record a five month, 21000 mile tour of the US on my Harley-Davidson. I continue to use this blog to record my own motorcycling adventures, wherever they may be, along with my thoughts and opinions about motorcycling generally.
Having devoted most of my adult life to being a ‘company man’, the transition to the next phase of my life away from the construction industry was always going to include some challenges. Planning and then making my dream trip to explore America on my Harley-Davidson proved to be the ideal vehicle for clearing my mind of old ways of thinking and being. I rode 21,475 miles, in 27 US states in four-and-a-half months.
My motorcycling trips have continued, with journeys across much of Europe, New Zealand, North Africa and Cuba.
A few years ago, I set up and now run Tour1, which takes riders on Harley-Davidson Authorised tours across Europe. See www.tour1.co.uk.
I live just north of London in the UK.
A 2006 Road King called 'The Leading Ladies' due to the portraits of ten 1940's and 1950's actresses painted on the bike. This is the motorcycle I use to ride through America on.
My Custom Harley 'Tradewinds'
Called 'Tradewinds' this bike has a H-D engine but almost everything else is custom, made specifically for the bike.
My Custom Harley 'Amelia'
Built in 2012, this is a seventies style traditional chopper, with considerable engraving and a tremendous paint scheme

US Tour - My Favourites Places I Went To....
It is difficult to choose, but here is my list of the highlights of my US tour, in the order I saw them in....
31. Back roads and small towns anywhere.
32. Meeting really nice people, in just about all of the places I have been.
33. The camaraderie of bikers. Everywhere, US.

Merry Christmas Gary, from down under!
Any excuse to buy biking gear is good enough for me Bob.
Is it Christmas Day already there Roger? Yes, of course it is! Happy Christmas!

Have a wonderful Christmas and a supurb 2013.
I hope you have a great Christmas too Patti. I will take lots of pictures of the Alps and post them on here!
Jealous here. Merry Christmas Gary.
No biking present for myself but we did finally sell the Bonneville yesterday so that in itself is a present.
The Alps just sounds way too fun. Still on the bucket list though so I'll be waiting for all your pictures and tales of adventures.
Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings to you and your family.
Merry Christmas, Gary.
Like Patti your taking me to the Alps is probably as close as I'll get. I'm looking forward to it.
