The Iron Heart Forum Triangle of Terror Type III Trucker Tour 2018 - Updates thread
-
I had to replace one of my longstanding cooperation bikes. Has been used at least on training role for the last 10 years, seen much blood, sweat and tears over the last 25 years…. but this bike is another story.
Talked to a colleague and he offered me a cycle of his father, hand build 17 years ago and not used for over 15 years.
Flat tires, dust and corrosion for only the first sight.
A few hours later with some cleaning and inspection it turned out to be beautiful and incredible rare.
Handmade frame from KRABO-Krautscheid Bochum with Campagnolo parts.
Did not like the handlebar and seat, but they are very comfortable. Unsure if I should replace them.
It is a fast Touring bicycle.
Now I need another bike for the training role ::) ;)…. and a bike from the son of Mr. Krautscheid. He is doing the same job in the same town, but with more modern ergonomics and survey -Krautscheid jr.

Lol. Cyclists are worse than petrol heads for need another one for this that or the other….
-
XX are worse than XX-heads for need another one for this that or the other….
Caught in the act….

My family is very happy with the situation, that we only own two vintage Vespa at this time.
City live is far away to be as contemplated as the next picture lead to believe.
Tour jacket and 801
And some Music Today

I know I've said this before, but this is a fantastic tour stop. Really enjoying this one…
-
That's a pretty big High Voltage Switchyard!
Designed a few of those myself….
-
The first picture is really awesome!

Chatted to @Cole today and he is going on holiday next week, we decided to transfer the jacket a few days earlier.
Jacket is hanging around for another five days …
Local quarry for all this sandstones. Yours look better G.
Right behind is the Nightingale mine. The cradle of the region's mining industry.
IH-526Lod vs. IHSH-99
Both fabrics behave and look very different! -

"I nurse my world cup hangover and try my best to get into the spirit today …...!"
The sentence of the day @501/IH .Went to an iconic place, my father introduced me 35 years ago. A little bit ramshackle but you can let mind and soul relax here. (Not the body :D)
"Chez Eddi" or original called: Eddi's Durst & Wurst Express- family owned since 1972.
Free seating. We choose this quite place.
Around us, everyone was lamenting and complaining about the WM18.
…
I realized, that I only know the content of two of this vintage garages.In one is a NSU RO80 ...
....and in the other is a BMWR80GS.
In between my kids eat the plate clean!
Left this place with a smile and came back this early morning to hang the jacket.
-
Brilliant. I could eat Wurst all day.
How on earth do you manage to keep the arms on the jacket spread out like that?
On another note, I feel like this jacket has lived a thousand already. From Alabaman heat to north eastern steel works and now being hung from German stone. Awesome.
-
Great, and I feel flattered for the citation. Thank you.
Oh yes, our favourite "Wurstbude" (literally: sausage barn). So many Germans have one, and if so, it's a much coveted place.
