I'm in Germany. Racing and testing some electric motorcycle mods.

These guys play hard. They aren't safety ninnys either. Autobahn is awesome.

Right now I'm chilling trying to recover after 4 x 20min karting sessions and electric supermoto.

I've been here 3 days. My hands are blistered, my sides, legs and back is brusied. I have a bit less blood than I arrived with, and I can't stop smiling and can't wait to get more!

I like it here.
 
Sounds like Heaven! Enjoy.

I know after the Death Race he sat as Dogman and I drank a couple of brews! Lol.

I will do my very best to drink the keg dry!
Hopfen und malz ab in der Halz!

Hmm ?, Luke, these guys,..and i will be there next month too, ... must be something about Germany and Ebikers this year ! :shock:
Let us know if there are any bargains i should be looking for ! :wink: .. ( other than beer !)
 
Lol. :)

I'm off to Switzerland today via rs6 on the Autobahn. :)

All the cars here make me miss my civic in the twistys, and anytime I'm accelerating, but they do a good job at the sustained >260kmh pace on the Autobahn.

I invited my host family back to my place in the states anytime they want to come and we will have a rematch in karts on my home kart track with my home karts. :) I couldn't believe this guys 150lbs son was able to lap 2sec faster than me on their home track (I expected to easily win even with my 70lbs weight disadvantage). These guys are well practiced and take it seriously. We blew over a grand karting in a single day. They want to come see a supercross event here in the states, so it should work out well.

It seems like most people here are ignorant retards (like the states), but I gotta admit this place does have its tallent here and there. This guy and his sons are excellent racers, engineers, and constructors who definately get it.

Hope you enjoy my country (Switzerland) :D You picked an excellent week, will be hot and sunny :D


That's what they have been telling me here as well. Evidently the previous week was rainy and cold, this week has been roughly exactly like California's weather, nicely warm and dry. :)

I have been enjoying your Swiss chocolate while I've been in Germany, it will be fun to see the source. :)

The Lindt and Sprungli factory is on lake Zurich :) Where are you going in CH ?
 
I'm in Zurich right now, going to a chocolate factory on the lake, spruengl.

Meet me if you are close!
 
A new Swiss custom supermoto builder bought me $159 in chocolates.

Now we are off to the lake. :)

LOL he can try the "leicht weißbier" or any "alkoholfrei" brew... but really... the -OH is quite important for the effect ^^
@ Wineboyrider: If you pass by Regensburg, leave me a call and I invite you testing (for scientist purpose only) some special brew of my place :)
Servus!
