Ralf and Eva Schöner-Löther. "Im Sommer 1998 begann unsere 1. gemeinsame Fernreise und führte uns in 18 Monaten von Alaska nach Feuerland. Eine weitere Fernreise soll im Sommer 2004 folgen und uns in ca. 2-3 Jahren nach Afrika und/oder Australien und/oder Asien führen." "In the summer 1998 our 1st common remote journey began and led us in 18 months from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. A further remote journey is to follow in the summer 2004 and to lead us in approx. 2-3 years to Africa and/or Australia and/or Asia." (In German, with translation available)
Travel Diaries, "zwei auf reise ans ende der welt". In German only."We live in the south of Stuttgart, southern Germany. Our region offers many delights for the traveller, sites, great landscapes and roads, Black Forest, Swabian Alb Mountains, Lake of Constance and so on. Every Motorbike Traveller is welcome to visit us, eventually for a drink, a meal or also for some nights rest. Information on places to visit, workshops or other required help can be given.
We also got a private workshop, Martin is into Bike Mechanics, so issues with your bike and gear are likely to be solvable. After travelling ourselves we always like to share some tales from the road and feed the bug :-)"
