On the early morning I am broken open in Berlin in moderate weather with my loaded up motorcycle (Yamaha FJR 1300) toward Cologne. The travel was eventless and boring. My min eTrex Vista led me also without Autorouting across the distance unknown for me after Buir. The weather was at least drying and in such a way I 650km later in the afternoon in Buir rather production arrived.
After the first greetings by our Tourenguide Michael (BMW 1200 CL) lasted it also not more for a long time and the other participants wobbled gradually in. There then Marion and tonuses from white rock (BMW R1100R), Doris and Bernhard from bath Harzburg (BMW R1150RT) and Robert from the Steiermark in Austria (Honda VT750DC) last, which arrived only late in the night with the course at Cologne. Nartuerlich rains it strongly and Robert is really not to envy our accommodation thereby to search.
We will spend the next two nights here in Buir in the guesthouse Antonia. But only times under the shower and the motorway away, is now the most important rinses that. Subsequently, look for and inside for rinse the refrigerator. Thus I transform slowly again into humans after this motorway stage.
The motorcycles are accommodated in the garage, where they stand surely and for drying.
We spend the first common evening then in a close restaurant, where is reserved for us. That is to be learned the ideal opportunity only once better. However we cannot remain so for a long time, since we do not want to miss Robert. Still another a Koelsch and it go back into the guesthouse.
Michael tells us this evening still much about past journeys and about the route lying before us. We can hardly expect it that it loose-goes finally. But unfortunately we must bridge still another one day somehow tomorrow. Why? That read you in 2. Day.
Update October 2003: The guesthouse in Buir was sold and closed. The journey starts now in Kerpen, the neighboring place of Buir.
