Dear friends all over the world ! It has been a long , very long time to finally realize the project - The "Ride-of-Change-2008-Movie" is done - and some very special people amongst you await some surprise in the nearby future from Siberia to Far East, from Germany to Kasachstan, from South Korea to Canada, from Alaska to New York, from Thailand to Australia, from Mongolia to Malaysia,

Über den Marktplatz der kleinen Stadt kamen ein paar Männer gezogen. Sie blieben an der Kirche stehen und sprühten auf die Mauer »Ausländer raus« und »Deutschland den

When I got home last week , I found a wellknown biker magazine in my letterbox- with a liitle sticker put on the coverpage "Please watch page 52 " .Was für eine nette Überraschung steckte letzte Woche in meinem Briefkasten - die aktuelle Ausgabe des "Motorrad-Abenteuer" - Deutschlands bestem Biker-Magazin für Fernwehgeplagte Mopedfahrer.

Dear friends .sometimes it´s good just to get off your bike and to pause for a moment.To see, breath , inhale nature´s beauty - it is the major gift in our lives.So I hope you can just relax a bit and enjoy some of last weekend impressions from our ride to Petras parents- in a tiny little laidback village named "Mozaberch" in the local accent.Not a spot that would affect earth´s gravity center -

Whilst Petra is chilling out a day with her folks I have an early morning appointment with our friends at WP Germany in Neutraubling. Despite the almighty still felt pretty stable and fast , when we rode the Italin Trentino mountains and passes – I could see, feel and even more hear it from the edges of my panneers – almost any major curve and definitely each serpentine first started with an

 …as promised in May´s blogging Petra and me decided , to see more of the Oremountains in Saxonia , visit Moni and Manfred in Struppen near Dresden and enjoy a chilling ride in and out of Czech all the way east to the so called Elbsandstein mountains near Dresden. Sometimes it seems difficult to imagine all that can happen within 10 days , yet it does. Thus showing us how much adventure and

Well, folks . I will easily understand , if you do not believe the following story. I first could not imagine, what Petra and me came across, when Hatt told us his personal Fukushima story. He showed us proof of all he told us by all the emailtraffic he performed then.And we only now know and understand , our friend has contributed very essentially , to stop the ongoing nuclear meltdown in the

Just another week passed by to make a longtime wish come true : There was so little time for family due to my exams , that I felt the deep wish to invite my folks for an alpine family weekend.Which we had - climbing up Mt. Breitenberg, stepping out on the “Pfronten Skywalk” (well not as big as he Grand Canyon one – but still a lot of people won´t dare to step out on the transparent steel and

4 years ago I was on my back home from the very special , non commercial, independent “WOODSTOCK” openair – festival on the ridge of the famous crater of the so called “Nördlinger Ries” .Riding home after 3 days of love, peace and music I managed to loose my way 3 times , searching for a proper, curvy road home on my bike. I still wonder how it happened I got back 3 times on the same spot in

WHAT A WEEKEND TO BEGIN WITH . It has been my first 1000 kms back on the bike this year after all the masterturmoils of the first 4 months. As much as it kept me from riding my "Almighty" before May this year , as much this trip to Saxonia was compensating for it all.Following Manfred Hoffmanns invitation to a worldtravellers bikermeeting in Struppen near Dresden in Eastern Germany- I have to

Can you imagine - there is more for bikers to do on a weekend than riding a bike :-) Especially when the streets get packed with traffic, the air gets boiling hot and Germany faces the Argentinian side for the quarterfinals. So the decision was an easy one to pack out the RED RACE ZULUBOAT and paddle across the Forggenlake. Facing Bavarian mad King Ludwigs worldfamous Neuschwanstein Castle,

Wenn es so etwas wie gebrauchte Monate im Leben eines Bikers gibt, dann dürfen wir wohl den Mai 2010 getrost dazu zählen. Am Ende des "Sommers" in Deutschland werden uns wohl die MetereoLÜGEN wieder erzählen, daß der Sommer ganz normal heiß und trocken war - aber so schnell vergessen wir das nicht, was da seit April auf unsere Helme niedergeregnet ist.

Ein fantastisches Wochenende auf Sonjas und Allas Bauernhof in Petting am Waginger See - kann es einen besseren Platz geben, um mit ebenso fantastischen Bikern zu feiern ?

Believe it or not - the WP-Shock is back home !It was the WP-Germany team being so gentle and nice, that would not only send one , but even a second rear shock in July. All this when my rear shock broke due to some major iron tools falling down from a truck in Siberia near Kemerobo. When the first shock would not get there in time to keep us on the road towards Mongolia , the WP-Team did not

"Auf allen Wegen ist Heimkehr ."Mit diesen Worten von Rainer Maria Rilke haben wir unsere Reise vor 6 Monaten begonnen - und mit diesen Worten endet der Ride-of-Change-2008. In wenigen Stunden werden wir in New York La Guardia an Bord eines Airbus A319 gehen, der uns ueber das Weisse Haus in Washington nach Chicago fliegen wird. Von Chicago Ohare geht es ab 19.55h Ortszeit am heute abend nach

Time to say Good Bye to the bikes - not at all easy after having ridden more than 48000 kms round the world. But fortunately there is Greg , Dennis and the Berklay Cargo Team (also known as shipmybike.com or the shippingguys.com ) in Long Island.Wherever you start asking all over the States about reliable people and companies to ship your bike back home or anywhere on earth - you finally end up

What a reunion this morning has to offer - I am meeting MISS CHATTANOOGA Debbie again - we met up in Alaska on the ferry from Whittier to Valdez - when she invited me to meet her in Chattanoooga it sounded a bit unreal to be true- now she takes me round town and to the Chattanooga ChooChoo historic train station.

Waking up in Alabama, croossing through Georgia and sleeping in Tennessee - friendly and helpful people all along the way - and a sunny day. What else does it take to add 645 kiloneter full of more more highlights to the trip...Out of Jackson in the morning it is ice again on the bike - but getting warmer quickly along the Nachez Trail Parkway - a 466 miledrive along the old trailroute from

Gotta do some mileage , folks. And getting into Texas from New Mexico is the perfect way to do it. Flatlands all over, getting on and off historic Route 66 again ( no its not a miss not to ride it) Interstae 40 takes me further east through Amarillo to freeway 287 southeast. paraleling Red River most of the time.Fair enough with all the riing the fuelprices almost drop by one dollar per gallon (

Last two days coldfront left back a dramatic temperature drop, that we get well aware crawling out of the tents in the morning. Rick and me planning to get on the Million Dollar Highway, which in fact means the twelve miles south of Ouray through theUncompahgre River Gorge up to the summit of Red Mountain Pass .Allegedly the stretch through the gorge is said to be characterized by steep cliffs

When I got into Moab Thursday nite on my way south out of Arches, I started looking out for a place to spend a nite in my tent. Weather forecast announcing a pretty powerful coldfront with snow and thunderstorms for the next couple of days- the outlook was anything but good to spend life outdoor. So I checked some of the campsites in Moab - not could I know what a wonderful experience should rise

On a long and lonesome highway, east of omaha.You can listen to the engine moaning out it's one lone songYou can think about woman, or the girl you knew the night before,But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do.When your riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to doAnd you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through.Say, here i am, on the road
