Rio-Antirio bridge Greece. Didn't accomplish my aim, for 2 hours, stayed one night in Venice Italy and sailed next day back to Greece after 5700 km in total. In spite of the difficulties, the phychological fatigue and the 50% increase of my budget, I believe I will do again a trip like this, next year. Be in touch.
Killarney Ireland. Guinness Toucan Brew in pubs like the above helped me be calm and change my plans every day. After a week of delay, when I managed to fix my bike, between the third and fourth glass, I decided to try the "impossible". Sail to West England, drive all day to reach East England and sail to Holland. I arrived in Rotterdam Holland at 0030 hours and drove all night for 1500 km, with stops only for gas, through Germany and Austria in order to reach Venice Italy by 1430 hours to get the Ferry boat to Greece.
Killarney Ireland. My drive belt refused to continue. My H.O.G. Assistance couldn't check if I was a member. The local H.O.G. Chapter couldn't help me. The English and the Greek H.O.G. Chapter couldn't be reached. The nearest H-D workshop was closed. I got help from a local police officer, a local engineer, a local hotel owner and an engineer from Greece.

When I told the police officer, that my next stop was Holland, he told me that I would find good stuff there !
I stayed 5 days and I need 3-4 glasses of beer to relax, so figure it out !
I believe the real purpose was a lot of square inches of advertising !
