Some crazy folks even do not need a Harley for their two year trip
around the world. Just like this guy, Daniel from Germany: his
strength, his ability to set high standards for himself, a grain of
folly, of self-belief, as well as grit and determination, and that
certain pinch of patience are indeed needed for a journey like that.
He is almost home, but after two years of travelling he might doubt
that he really belongs there. Read his story at
http://silverrider.jimdo.com/ . The knowledge of German is
mandatory.

The best about a
Harley is the one who rides it!
A rare breed
Lately in Samut
Prakan, a part of Bangkok we stumbled over a
motorcycle, which looked a kind of
strange...!
Taking
a closer look it turned out to be a Janda,
a Jawa with a 125cc Honda engine inside.

beautiful piece of junk.
At DHC
...there
are still working their butts off, to get
those old bikes on the road. Check out this
Porker-Pan by clicking into the picture.
Ain't
that a bitch of a bike?
Quote
of the month:
"The Buddha, the Godhead,
resides quite as comfortably in the
circuits of a digital computer or the
gears of a cycle transmission as he does
at the top of the mountain, or in the
petals of a flower."

Final Destination
Macao?
Most of you made it
this year probably just
riding around the corner to your
favorite bar, or to your
girlfriend in the next town.
Understandable, when one has to
pay these exorbitant prices at
the gas station or in so called
cheapo lodges, which charge more
than 50 Quid, bucks or Euros,
whatever your currency is.
You're right. Save your dough
for the big trip and choose
Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and
China, where you still pay
decent prices compared to
Europe. And when you are sick of
eating rice every day, make it
to Macao, with a lot of places
offering Mediterranean and
Portuguese cuisine. Stay at
Augusters, probably the only
reasonable
place in Macao, and enjoy the
break. From now on Augusters
even offers a guarded 24/7
security place to keep your
motorcycle absolutely safe, for
a mere 0,30 Euro/h. Or do you
want your bike to
disappear across the
Chinese border overnight?

Rust never

Always good for a
surprise are these parties
arranged by the Malek
Team. Here
is the tank and engine of an
eyecatcher.

Our favorite road sign
This road sign was
found by Chris Wagner on his
motorcycle trip to to Mae Hong
Son, west of Chiang Mai, close
to the Burmese border.
Harleys.de
suggests, that this should be
the only road sign on country
roads.
Another beauty in
the make by Iron Wings
The process of creating the
ultimate machine out of the resources
you own, and your ideas in terms of
reliability, power and looks can be time
consuming and expensive.
Gerhard
Strubbe, with his tight calculation
skills, is willing to make your dream
come true within a reasonable amount of
time. The legend says, that he also can
heal Harleys by sweet talk and healing
hands techniques.
You will find this amazing dude right here.
Hat Yai
Have
a look at some beautifully restored
motorcycles in Hat Yai,
Thailand, close to
the Malaysian border.
Motosophie could
make up their mind, when the party finally
will happen. The knowledge of some German is
useful but, having some imagination of the
language, not necessary at all.
