I am Ex HM Forces and lived a total of 20 years in Germany and I know exactly how you felt in Germany. I rode my GL1000 K1 all over, sometimes with Mac McEwan (Big Mac)from 1984 to 1991 and attended quiet a few local Treffens with the locals who made us feel very welcome indeed. I recommend that if anyone gets a chance to tour Germany on their beloved Goldwing then they will have a holiday to remember as the roads and scenery are as described above. Needless to say a phrase book or basic German language is an advantage, but most younger German's do in fact speak good English. Great read!!
