From a remote corner of eastern Europe HD-Magnus surfaced for a 12 hours stop over. Early next morning he continued to Sweden with 2 beer glasses and his survival kit. We managed to do some damage to the weissbier stock at one of the local breweries – something which became painfully clear the next morning when it was time to try and sober up for the office. HD-Magnus, being the ultra cool guy he is, only needed to stop three times for a tinkel during the 10 minutes walk back to the apartment. Breaking the law with such ease had me well impressed – how does he do it? Well, mystery is the trademark of LostRiders so it fit the picture. The only thing I missed was the fact that he did not arrive on his Tjock-ponken but rather came by airplane and train. Kind of an anti climax however the falling snow makes a plausible excuse. Now I look forward to the motobike far in Stocklahoma, the seasonal planning meeting and scheduling of Gotland Raiders 2011.

Naturally we had to do what big boys with big toys do best – we had to inspect BlueBird where she stood nicely strapped, down in the garage.
