[…] I remember a miserable ride home from the 2011 BMW International Rally in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania when the temperature was well over 100F. The link will give you an idea of the heat encountered that day. […]

I can always count on your for inspiration Steve. Geez now I’m wondering if I should read Jack Riepe’s blog or not? Oh well when you’re at the bottom there is only one way to go.

Brady: I wish you luck in finding something to ride while in Germany. Seems like an opportunity not to be missed.

rivernan: That's for the head's up on your article in the Owner's News. I'll have to track down a copy of that issue.

I have often said it and I will say it again: motorcycling is most enjoyable in cool weather, although most people who DO NOT ride motorcycles think that Summer is the right season…

Steve,

I don't know what I'll be able to get to this year yet. There is a scheme in the works to get a motorcycle shipped over here, we'll see how that pans out.

Brady: It certainly was a show. It's not often you see such a performance without being in a theater or in front of a tv. Jack Riepe should go on tour.

Speaking of tours, I hope you are going to make it through the Alps before the snow flies. So many beautiful rides there and I traffic will plummet as the tourist season ends and the skiers haven't arrived yet.

Good luck and ride safe!

Mr. Riepe: Thanks so much for the comments but I still have to thank you for the writing and blogging insights. Like anything else I guess it's easy to get cocky and think you know everything you need to know. Over and over, whether riding, writing or photography, I am constantly reminded by some young upstart like yourself that my actual skill falls far short of my image of myself.

So you offered the chance to acquire a big dose of humility. That's hard to come by these days. For me anyway.

Ride carefully in the submerged eastern parts of Pennsylvania.
