I stumbled upon Jeff Munn's great collection of ride stories detailing his journeys through Europe, the Americas and the rest of the world while searching for something else.
Highly recommended reading, even though I am biased as a fellow beemer rider. Jeff writes in a colorful and detailed manner that makes his stories easy and entertaining to read. He also uses phrasings and vocabulary that betray him as a former army guy, this I found to give his writing the welcome feel of happy days past when I wore camouflage.
I've added his website to the links section on the right hand side of this blog.
For you unfortunate riders who are stuck not being able to ride during this winter, I point you in Jeff's direction for a few hours solace in reading of his adventures. His stories of riding in Europe made me regret not having discovered motorcycling while I myself was stationed there while on active duty. Someday, I'll ride Europe.
He's also working on restoring old beemers, he sent me this picture of his present project, a gorgeous 1958 R50 Beemer with a Steib Sidecar.
Go see his stuff! Jeff's BMW Travel Page
He's also done a RTW (Ride around The World): From Hadrians Wall to The Great Wall

I am hoping he'll continue writing about his motorcycling journeys but in blog format so that one is notified when new stuff comes in. Hint, Hint, Nudge, Nudge there Jeff.
