It all started when these two wonderful people met: Friederike & Helmut

My father crafted these iron pieces in the 1940's. They still hang in their original places in Rinteln/Weser, West Germany
In the bush - and not the good kind


Medals, medals and more medals - still can't get a cup of coffee for any one of them without also adding a dollar...
German leathers for a German bike. Still have them - although I can't get into them anymore...

I'm ready for my trip. Got a number of new, light weight travel bags ready to be packed.
