saddlebum Posted December 16, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) I have been spending my vacation in Germany and Holland and so far having a great time. They sure know how to kick off Christmas here early with hoiliday drinks and food. I will most likely gain back all the weight I have lost over the past couple months but how can you say no to all this good food etc. Quite a few people here are still riding regardless of snow or cold. Holland even has 1st response Motorcycle ambulances. The idea is that a motorcycle can get on the scene faster and get a head start on initial care getting the victim preped and ready to move by the time the larger response vehicles arrive. Weather does not seem to stand in their way either. I will post pics when I return home. Edited December 21, 2012 by saddlebum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJoe Posted December 16, 2012 Share #3 Posted December 16, 2012 I'm jealous... Always wanted to go to Germany. Great-Grandparents on both sides came to US in the 1890's because of the bad times. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine were from a farming community east of Essen on my great grand mothers side and from Hermsdorf (between Jena and Gera) on my great grand fathers side. If I hit the lottery we'll both go... and ride some Ventures over there... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
