Re: price of fuel

If you really have to sell the BB, take it with you and sell it in Europe!
You'll find more customers wanting a BB over here I think.

Most of us Europeans know Claudio from Switzerland. Last Friday he came back home from a 2 weeks stay in the hospital. He had to go there because he suffered a heavy infection. Now he is ready to fight back and grow stronger. He still walks with a stick as he has problems coordinating his moves. He ...

Re: Ron & Deb's Florida Adventure

Great pics Deb! I remember when I was in Daytona, we stopped at a crazy golf place. They had all kinds of padded African beasts in their area with warning signs as if they were real. They also had a cage next to the cashier booth with little padded crocodiles, I thought... They WERE real!!! Around t...

Re: Shipping a v8 bike to Europe and back

I don't know about shipping, but if it is registerd in the states, Canada or just anywhere, you can ride it here. There is no need to register it in Europe. You probably have to drain all liquids so you would need a place to refill oil, gas and so on. Maybe you could send it through the factory to B...

Corvette meeting Switzerland

As we ride 'Corvette' Engines, I thought going to a Corvette meeting would be interesting. It turned out, I was not the only one with a Boss Hoss there. But the two others left before I was there, so I don't know who it was. Here are the pics: http://s604.photobucket.com/albums/tt124/Swiss_V8/Corvet...

Riding into the Alps in Switzerland

Springtime is over, but I finally got my pics loaded. I was on a nice trip into the Alps on May 24th. I headed to the Gotthard Pass which was cleared of snow and offically opened about one week before that date. It looked like I was NOT the only one up there although it was a bit fresh... That's how...
