Golden October Ride
#1

Deep blue sky, sun is shining and temperatures around 20°C. Nothing could hold me back today from a ride, and I was not the only one.

I enjoyed riding along small back roads and finally found my way to the lake Ebni, a well known motorcycle meeting point in this area.

Here I got a coffee and a currywurst. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currywurst

Another really rare motorcycle made it to this place.The last time I saw a Herkules W 2000 (Wankel) in the wild was about 40 years ago...

You may well never have heard about this exotic. Here are some information:

What a great machine. I remember driving a Mazda car with a rotary engine in the 1970s. I recall it being remarkably powerful for it's size.

Good you're out riding again, Django, although I wonder what your mother would say about riding with that toe? Big Grin

Another fall ride to another bikers meeting point yesterday afternoon.

While the sun was setting, I could watch the mist rising from the grass:
