Never forget that anticipation is an important part of life. Work's important, family's important, but without excitement, you have nothing. You're cheating yourself if you refuse to enjoy what's coming.

The waiting is over! About the time this publishes, I should be landing in Innsbruck. Alleluia!
Motorcycles, mountains, no 24 hour news cycle and no Internet! Let the fun begin.
I anticipate a fun first week. I am staying in the same hotel all week, and using a little thumper for day trips.
I need to slide on through. I have two more open threads to concoct.
Watch out for cars, and have a great weekend! The thread is OPEN.

Up, up and away
our spirit's are with you Tim.
Have a blast!
Have fun. Bring plenty of liquid to hydrate. It's really hot.

Hola Tim y todos. In keeping with today's theme, we're
heading out for the sierras, Granite Flat, near Donner Pass tonight and then heading north for about a week.
Everybody have a great weekend, a great week, and a safe, peaceful, sane 4th.

Biker Tim, so you are riding the Alps.
Stay safe and hydrate. Unbelievable about the continental heatwave hitting Europe. We are using some of your suggestions for the Rocky Mts. ride next week. Many thanks again!! Rec'd!!
