In Belgium for 2 weeksnow, 3 years to go. Jonsing for a bike since it's been a month since I've ridden. Did not ship a bike over as I was worried about triple getting trashed shipping. Wife gave me her scooter to get around on though and 4Runner on the way over. On the hunt for a bike now but have no clue what. Thinking an on/off-road bike. No rush though as I'm having a hard enough time driving a car. More bloody speed traps here than I have ever seen, it's ridiculous. I'll have to try and hookup with some folks over here , catch a rally or something . Maybe get lucky and find that oddball bike never sold stateside or something. If anyone ever over here you have a free place to stay at my place. Give me a shout sometime Husson73 your not to far away. I'm out of here. Gotta get to hunting for a bike some more, although I can't read the ads since they are all French,Dutch or German around here but the pics help

Dang it's been that long? I am actively hunting for a bike now. I am putting in for a place tomorrow so I can get out of this stupid hotel. It at least has a 2 car garage. Want my truck also. This stupid smart car is so small I can't hardly get in it. Just south of Brussels so if your ever over give a shout Barry. Keeping my US phone number so you can just text me. Keep you posted

if you're in Brussels you're 300 kilometers (or 186 miles) from me as I live in Paris. My best lap is around 1 hour 40 with my RG 500 refueling included but in the old time w/o speed camera. Need 2 hours now with radar detector.
Funny thing is my daughter living in Brussels.
will be off Paris between 23 december and 2 january

I'm about 20k from Maubeuge France if I recall what I was told Hudson. I'll end up over your way eventually. Need to find something to ride though as I don't plan on driving a car over there. Stupid speed cameras are very where, it's crazy. keep ya posted when I get over there
