    Yeah, that's why I added the note! At least I know that no one can touch it!

    Yes Dave, I definitely count the hours now. And hope for a spell of nice weather for the pick up day :)

    Hey Daniel, how does it work in the German winter with compulsory snow tyres? Does that apply to bikes? Eric

    No, no snow tyres allowed in Germany, but we have to undergo some minor technical changes for the winter-season:

    No sidecars! Cannot handle them, and for the ugly old wife...
    You know, I have no skull or bones on the back of my leather jacket but a nice stitching art-work saying:

    I always try to keep it readable ;)

    Went to a BMW bike-meeting on a Guzzi 750 years ago...
    Guy asked me: 'Why did you fold up your cylinders???'

    For all who read the above thread: Today I learned that yes, there are winter tyre rules for motorcycles in Germany as there are for cars: no summer tyres allowed if wintery conditions prevail.
    To be honest: since I never take my bike out in snow, or on icy roads, I was totally ignorant of this fact!

    Lesson learned, thanks to Eric! :)
