This is Harley, convertible and caravan country ! Having descended to  the river road again, I shot this one with a vintage duch ship "Sailing Home", with beautiful hulk and wooden pilot house. I precisely shot the pic with another Harley exactly beside the Ply, but these cameras release when they have decieded to want to... ?$%&/="?@ ...

In the background You see the medieval cilty of Beilstein. The white tower on the river bank is where I did the next shot.

Today, after a 1 hr. foot trip again, we hat a perfect 4 hr drive back home. That is Plymouthing at its finest!

greetings! Go

I had my 6 V 112 Ah batt shot after only 2 Years, obviously by too high regulator output. I had it calibrated twice with no perfect result, so this Saturday, having done a 5 mls mountain walking tour from Lisenich to Beilstein, I left my wife? and the friends at the inn , I adjusted the regulator again and drove for a 2 hrs drive to test it.? That?s when I shot the pics. It works perfecty now.

From Engelport abbey back to Bruttig, mosel valley, I crossed this old wine press.
This is Germanys most famous wine country, You can see the road bending twice above us.
They worked hard on quality the last 20 years!

We had a perfect weather forecast, so we took the Plymouth for a 280 mls round trip, from  D?sseldorf into the vulcanic Eifel Mounains. The south border is Mosel River. Using only 3rd class black top streets, we only everaged 30 mph.
Beautiful country in harvest season, 68 degrees F, Plymouth purring, friends waiting for us at Liesenich (300 inhabitants).
Strutures are tipically built in stone (Lava,  too) or wood frame with clay bricks, painted white.

Maria Engelport (1909) and the bridge near Liesenich are stone examples. I love those small streets and the evening sun on the hills!
