One of these days  Enjoy the trip, we expect of pics and vids.

Late to the Party, but we have just booked to take the Royal Star to Paris, then onto the Alsace town of Colmar (France), with a day trip to Lucerne in Switzerland at the End of May. Nicole can't fly so our holidays are usually driven (Spain, Italy, Germany, France), however, this will be our first 'euro' trip on a bike together. Excited isn't the word!

I never was much into the whole Harley thing. A lot of folks think "If it ain't a Harley, it ain't s##t". That attitude was always a real turn off to me. I've always been a Honda or Yammy fan, and you can't deny the styling of first or second gen Ventures. Add to that the reliability and the performance...especially of the first gens, and it's a no brainer to me. Let's not forget the bang for the buck aspect either. As I'm getting older, I'm starting to look at 3 wheels. I worry more than I used to about flats and keeping the bike upright, whether rolling or stopped, ....especially when Lisa's on the back. There's probably a Can Am in my future, but I can't imagine ever giving up my Venture(s) , although some day I'll have to. As for Yammy, I'd have to agree that they'll have a hard time competing against the likes of Harley and Indian, only because they're considered the "Cool" bike, regardless of other factors.
