Not saying that's really what little man is doing,
yet I have been inspired by the sound of tricking water

Those pic's are turning me green. I can almost taste those delicious fresh ice cream cones they make there.
Have you taken a bike for a legal, triple-digit cruise, down the autobahn in Germany?

Oh my..., Danish means pastry to me. Mouth watering. Trade ya a MoonPie for anything in the case.
Modern sport bikes are all good and well, but if you ride and live in Denmark, you are going to want a Nimbus:

Went to the range and shot my model 19 and 27 today during a little Saturday afternoon therapy before the snow started falling.

I have to hand it to the Danish people, they don't let bad weather slow them down any. Hell, they'd never get anything done if they waited around for sunshine and no precipitation of some kind. If it doesn't slow them down any, it won't slow me down any either.

So I took my Danish A1 language test that Danish Immigration said I needed to pass by my six month mark. It was 20 minutes, 30 questions, and I could answer 9 incorrectly. Most were "multiple guess" but probably 10 of them required me to answer the questions into a microphone.
I wont officially know the results of my test for another couple of weeks, but there is no doubt in my mind that I passed. I might have missed 2 or 3 but no way I missed 9. Luckily the test was extremely easy, because if it were the least bit challenging... I probably wouldnt have passed. Danish is a very hard language to speak. I think it will take me years to be able to say I can even speak a little Danish. I got a job with a global logistics company and the working language is English so at least I can use my English at work and feel somewhat valuable compared to if I had to take instructions in Danish... That would be a mess.

Greetings From Atlanta
Have I missed your past post on this subject?
How are the Mrs. and your daughter enjoying Denmark? I am assuming that neither is homesick for Atlanta yet!?
I've already concluded that it's one of the best decisions that you've ever made, with the exception of acquiring all of those great looking Smith & Wesson revolvers.
IMHO, Atlanta has become worse since you left!!

My wife is happy to be back home, and my daughter is adjusting very well. She speaks five times as much Danish as me, it has to do with my brain already being full of useless information. I can say without a doubt, that they dont miss Atlanta and I cant say I do either. None of us had any ties there except each other anyway. My "home" is in Indiana.
It has been a bit of a hassle going through schools and tests like I am a teenager again (language & driving) but I cant say that I regret it. Yet. Its been a cool experience so far, especially since I was allowed to bring my 5 most cherished revolvers.
I didnt expect it would get any better. Stay safe my friend.

Best of luck to you. I had the fortune to travel much of the world in the 90s, on business. However, I did not get to Denmark.
Whenever I landed back in the USA, I nearly kissed the ground. I did not like most places that I visited and despite all the problems in the USA, its still by far the best place to live.
I have two kids, 35 and 37 YO. They both have a college degree, one has three of them and both are in six figures income. One can get a good education here, and there are jobs, and business opportunities for qualified people that want to work.
Again, best of luck, I hope it works out well for you.

I didn't think they still made bikes with that type of chain guard, I had a Raleigh with a chain guard like that back in the early 50's, first thing I did was take off that chain guard.

Looks like it's a skirt guard. Women around here don't wear long skirts on bikes. Or am I stating the obvious.
