Day 2, 15 July




We slept like lambs last night, our hotel was comfortable and quiet. I got up around 7 feeling pretty good and we went down for a nice breakfast spread. We were to meet Gabe and Rex at 10, but they weren’t quite ready so I caught up on loading the blog.

Our sightseeing today consisted of riding a train to Dachau to the memorial site and back. There’s not a lot left of the original site, but enough you could see the enormity of the process. It was a very sobering trip.

We lighted the mood after with a lunch of a Gyro like sandwich close to the traing station and missed a train back to Erding which made us late for our meeting at five, each of us pointing fingers at the others placing the blame, in a light hearted manner, of course.

When we got back the briefing had started, but we didn’t miss a lot. We were able to catch up quickly and Rex soon became a target, being the only Harley rider in the group.

The group is pretty varied, in riding experience, age, locale, and just about everything else. After the briefing, those that didn’t take the Alpine riding course picked up the bikes. The Harley hadn’t made it from the shop, so I wired in the GPS and looked over the GS for the paperwork. It has an accessory port on the dash area, and the RAM u-bolt mount went right in place.

We ride out at 8:30 in the morning.
