BIG TOM Posted December 6, 2009 #1 Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Been in touch with Starfan....For the newer members...he is a member from Iceland who traveled here to the states last year to ride with the NY gang to Freebirds maintenance day and stayed and visited a few of our members in NY, Penn., and Ohio...what a wonderful GENTLEMAN to get to know (and yes, he keeps a bike here in the US to ride)...He still refers to my guest room as HIS room...lol..well..........TATERS and I have been talking to Starfan and after numerous invatations from him , have decided to plan a trip in 2011 to go to Iceland and visit Jonas.... Where else but right here can you make friends like this...Jonas has been working in Norway since he returned home and will be there for at least one more year.....he doesn't make it home very often and tells me how he misses his family...Comunication is difficult as he is up in the mountains and doesnt get off the mountain that often....he is boring and building a tunnel thru it....He tells me Norway would be a wonderful place to ride with all the twisties .....He tries to pop on the site as often as he can ...Says he misses everyone and wants to wish everyone a happy holiday....he will be comming home for Christmas.......he also can't see comming to MD this year as he wants to finish his tunnel...He did promise to bring his wife to NEW YORK CITY along with his sons this year...Hope we can hook up then.........BLACK DEATH ANYONE???????

mini-muffin Posted December 6, 2009 #2 Posted December 6, 2009 That's great glad to hear someone will get to head over and visit him and his family. Oh and that Black Death wasn't all that bad. Just must have a bunch of lightweights in this group. Remember to let us know if he gets to come over with his family, I bet we could invade NY as long as it is during nicer weather then that fall foliage ride was planned for. :rotf: Margaret
GaryZ Posted December 6, 2009 #3 Posted December 6, 2009 I was stationed in Iceland with the Air Force in 1979. Shipped my 1964 GMC van over and drove it around for nearly a year. In 1979 - 80 about 70% of the roads in Iceland were dirt. It was very smooth dirt, but, they were still dirt. The miles and miles of dirt roads wore out the door hinges on my van! The locals are beautiful people. I mean it. The problem with my stay was that the locals will not talk to a stranger until they have been introduced by someone they know. This made meeting and getting to know one of their beautiful women very difficult . . .
