    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I got back a few days ago from touring southern France. This will be by last tour in Europe because the movers will be here a week Monday to pack us up for Toronto. I left the S at home and took the Honda, boring I know, but it is better suited to the job (GPS, luggage carriers, etc).

Made a detour to Mulhouse on the way down from Luxembourg to see what's probably the world's largest car museum (puts Jay Leno to shame) at the Cite de l'Automobile - Fritz Schlumpf collection. Rode thru the Jura region and visited the Gorges du Verdon (french Grand Canyon) and made an overnight stop at Avignon (of the famous bridge). Returned via Aix-les-Bains for a 5 day overall trip of about 2300kms.

The museum had not one, not two, but THREE Bugatti Royales! And the molds they used to beat the fenders from...... amazing.

Amazing pics...and as you well know there is nothing in the Toronto area even close to that for riding.
Those molds for the fenders might be the most valuable pieces of wood in existence.

Though we are really looking forward to moving back to N. America, I will really miss the roads around here. This is great riding country (when it's not raining).
 
Those pictures are amazing! There are places just as nice here, just a bit more spread out with a lot less traffic. A sad departure I'm sure but I'll be the first to say 'welcome back home'.
 
Thanks AZR, I know NA offers great places to ride, they are just usually farther from home! That being said, I can't tell you how happy I am to move back. Though from NY, I think Toronto will eventually feel like home (which Luxembourg never did).
