GO RON!!!
Christian you find the coolest stuff! Thanks for posting. What a wonderful read, with such a laconic and dry style. It is nice to read someone who creates a flowing account as well. It may not have happened without pics, but the heart and soul experience is in the words one uses to describe the adventure.

500cc four-banger, driveshaft, magneto, and...total loss oil system and pedal start.
That thing must have been a techno-marvel back in 1910.

I've been following Ron for a few months now, I hope to try to meet up with him as he passes closer to where I am in Holland.
I'll keep the Portal posted if I do,
Murph.
