Usually we hate it when someone just posts a link to a ride-report that's posted somewhere else ....but there are a few exceptional stories out there and it'd be a shame to not let others know of their existence.

Here is one of those !!

B+W pix and all!!


Enjoy!

Yeah I saw that on another forum a few days ago and saved the link and was going to post it here and forgot. Some really great photos and history there.

Sure does, hehe...

The whole story is a rare gem...just consider the times!!!

Only 8 years after the end of WW2, most of Europe and the UK still lying in rubble...and those guys got a camera and film and fly their bikes across the channel for a ride across the Alps, Jeezaz!!

And what a well preserved and elaborate chronicle in pics and words....this thing's a true stunner.
What an awesome find....sometimes you've just gotta love the Net!!
