Germany

I got two more parts at the Wunderlich headquarters in Sinzig, Germany. I somehow got the wrong headlight protector (my mistake) and had to swap it for the right one. Also, I thought that I did not need a tank bag, but I found myself unhappy with having only the bag on the passenger seat behind me. I needed a bag that was easy transportable and where I could keep my camera and wallet.

Fitting these last parts to my bike took longer than expected because I don’t like to read manuals and prefer to figure out things myself… so I made some mistakes and needed three times to mount the headlight protector to the bike. Argh!

The next day I drove through the Schwäbische Alp and headed in the direction of Munich. When I got to Ulm I got back on the highway because I really want to cover a big distance in the first couple of days. My tour will really start in Slovenia, not in Germany or Austria. Everything before Slovenia will just be ‘passing through’ because I will have the time to enjoy those areas later (on my tour or in my life).

I drove to Michael’s house in Rosenheim. Michael found me on Instagram and added me on Facebook and we already had some conversations through Facebook. He is a motorcycle tour guide and would be able to help me out with giving me some tips for me. We spent the evening marking awesome roads and interesting places on a map.

Thank you for all the tips and letting me stay at your house, Michael!
