A friend who use to be a 'mod' in the sixties and has visited US and Canada asked if I would post his poem to an American biker site - so true to my word, here it is.

Oh Ramona!

Oh Ramona! is it true,

Chicken Dave's in love with you?

Oh Ramona! it's not fair

Buck teeth, glasses and stupid hair

Does he really stand a chance?

He says he'll see you at the dance

Oh Ramona! is it true,

You're in love with Johnny

We started off eager to check out this years Erzbergrodeo but had a long road ahead of us. I decided to opt for our Honda Transalp for this trip while my riding friend took his African Twin. We headed to Southern Bohemia, making our way near to Cesky Krumlov. On the road we were luck to see some amazing Czech castles.

While visiting family in California my friend Nancy and I decided to take a quick trip up to Yosemite. We rented two bikes from Dubbelju Motorcycle Rental in San Francisco. It was a great experience over all. We got our bikes (I went on the Harley Davidson Sporsters while Nancy optioned for the Honda Shadow) and soon were off on our way.
