That's the handle to deploy the drag chute to slow down from 245+kph warp speed.   good2

Welcome to the forum, TomJK - Alles Goed?

Although I'm from Canada, I have strong ties to the Netherlands - my dad came to Canada from NL in 1951 and my mom in 1957, and I still have quite a few relatives there. My brother and I went back to "the old country" with my mom and dad back in 2011 and had an opportunity to spend a day riding with my cousin Albert, who lives in Garmerwolde:



One thing led to another and Albert decided to join me and a couple riding buddies for a ride from London, ON Canada to Alaska (and back). It was a 16,000 km round-trip for me and a 20,000 round trip for Albert as he shipped his bike from Germany to Halifax, NS and rode back to Halifax at the end of the trip to ship it back. It was definitely an epic adventure.

Here's Albert at my parents place at the end of the trip:


Here we are with my parents:


I'm hoping to take my wife and two boys to NL in 2019 and possibly my dad will join us as well. My boys haven't been there are I would like to show them where their grandparents came from - my parents (Opa and Oma) are from Groningen and my wife's parents (Pake and Beppe) are from Friesland. I won't likely get any motorcycle rides in but this trip will be more of a pilgrimage.

Groeten, Tom.
