A European Moto Blog

One of the recent comments on a Joe Gresh blog post had a website address in it and I visited it.  David Skogley’s East Goes West site is a good one.  David is an American who lives and Germany and writes about his motorcycle travels in Europe.  I wrote to David asking if I could mention his blog on ExNotes and here’s his answer:

Hi Joe,

Many thanks for getting in touch and for your kind words about my blog.

I started the blog about four years ago because I just felt like writing about some of the experiences I was having on bikes in and around Berlin, Germany. I’m certainly not a world traveller (other than long ago on a bicycle) but I figured there probably aren’t that many Americans writing about motorcycling in this neck of the woods, so thought I would give it a shot. In the end, it’s been fun and is interesting to see how my writing has slowly changed, even though I have a very small number of people reading what I put out there. It was never intended to be a money maker, just sort of an online diary, I guess. A way of not forgetting what has gone on in an important part of my life. The writing has become quite sporadic, however, as work (and lethargy) often gets in the way.

I’ve put in very little time or effort regading formatting, and requires a lot of scrolling to find the old entries. Have to change this at some point! Right at the beginning I wrote the following short description/explanation, which is only visible if you go way back to the beginning:

“I moved east to Berlin, Germany from the east coast of the US quite a long time ago. I started riding motorcycles not long after. The intention of this blog is to express some thoughts about motorcycles (and other two-wheeled modes of transportation) and things connected to them.”

A short blog about my blog sounds great! Many thanks for your kind offer.

Regards,

David Skogley

I think you’ll enjoy David’s East Goes West site just as I did.  Here’s the link.
