Default Heading from DC to Germany!

Hi all,

Name's Sean and I have a black denim '11 FXDB. Bike left me a couple days ago and I won't see her for another month or so (hopefully).

Anybody here happen to troll around Deutschland? Got any rec's for places to go/see?

Also, I am wondering if there are any service members here that might be able to give me some heads up on the buyer programs over there. (I love my bob, but a new Street Glide would be so nice, I should never have test rode one).

Anyways, I don't have any pics right yet but all I've done to the bike so far is adding some V&H's.

Sean

Welcome to the forum from the Netherlands, Sean!

Check out this Google Map to find some service men's locations in Germany.

In the Other Countries Sections you'll find some more info on Europe.

Once you moved in. let me know your location to add it to the map.

Enjoy the forum & ride safe!

Fun Part about Germany is you can go all over Europe depending on how much time you have.
Amsterdam, Holland, France, Belgium, Bavaria, the french and Italian riviera, the alps, Switzerland, man so many options.

I love WW2 history so I would really love to spend a few months in Europe with the bikes one day,
Have fun, be careful.

The red lights in Amsterdam dont mean stop btw, they mean you have found your destination, spend a few days and relax.
