Subject: Hans Franke's trek continues
For those people who have been (or will be) part of Hans' trek across
the U.S. on his Ural, I can say that he has made it as far as
Columbus, OH. He did stay a few days here to fix a crack in his
gas tank and left for parts West this afternoon. I helped him
box up his H-8 and accessories, leaving him more room to collect
stuff as he makes his way to California.
I did manage to get a couple of pix of his "RV" (cargo trike with
attached pop-up tent)...
There's a Ural repair/distribution shop next door to a place I used to work,
in Preston, WA. Preston is a small town just east of Seattle/Bellevue, so if
he makes it out here, I'll send him their way. I'm sure that they would love
to see his bike, and perhaps do a few repairs on it as well. However, the
bikes that they were selling look quite a bit different than his
three-wheeler but they still had the "vintage" look to them, with side cars
and all.
