#ttt Dedicated to Two Guys on a 25.000 km Motorcycle Journey

( EN / DE ) A little trip to the Slovenian border inspired me to today's @threetunestuesday by @ablaze. At the parking lot we accidentally met two guys with motorcycles and since it is already very cool and motorcyclists are rather rare at this time of year on the road, I was curious and asked where they come from.
Ein kleiner Ausflug zur Slowenischen Grenze hat mich zum heutigen @threetunestuesday von @ablaze inspiriert. Am Parkplatz haben wir zufällig zwei Jungs mit Motorrädern getroffen und da es ja schon sehr kühl wird und Motoradfahrer eher selten um diese Jahreszeit unterwegs sind, war ich neugierig und fragte woher sie kommen.

From Hannover (Germany). Wow, driven far I thought, because this distance is over 1000 kilometers. But when I heard where they want to go, I was first really speechless, because the destination of the two young men is something special from here, so this conversation went like this:

he: "to Cape Town" (with a tone as if that was not far away anyway)
me: "Cape Town, South Africa?"
him: "Yes!"
me: "........."

Aus Hannover. Wow, weit gefahren dachte, denn diese Entfernung ist über 1000 Kilometer. Aber als ich hörte, wo sie hin wollen, war ich erst einmal richtig sprachlos, denn das Ziel der beiden jungen Männer ist doch sehr ungewöhnlich, die Unterhaltung lief in etwa so ab:

er: "nach Kapstadt" (mit einem Ton, als sei das eh nicht mehr weit)
ich: "Kapstadt, Südafrika?"
er: "Ja!"
ich: "........."

They calculate a travel time of about 3 months and will cover about 25,000 km with their two motorcycles in this time! We exchanged Instagram accounts and I'm really glad I met them and can now follow their journey online.
Sie rechnen mit einer Fahrtzeit von etwas 3 Monaten und werden in dieser Zeit mit ihren beiden Motorrädern in etwa 25.000 km zurücklegen! Wir haben Instagram Accounts ausgetauscht und ich bin echt froh, dass ich sie getroffen habe und nun auch ihre Reise online mitverfolgen kann.

On the way back home in the car I had the idea to fill this #TTT post with good, old, classic "bike vibes" to wish them both a good trip.
Am Rückweg im Auto kam mir dann die Idee, diesen #TTT Post mit guten, alten, klassischen "bike vibes" zu füllen um den beiden eine gute Reise zu wünschen.

Once again rather old songs, but from my point of view, they reflect the long time cruising so very well.
I wish you all here a good musical journey, without that I will babble in between the songs. Listen to the music, close your eyes and imagine you would travel 25,000 km by motorcycle!

Wieder mal eher alte Songs, die aber aus meine Sicht, dieses lange Zeit dahin cruisen, wie man es auf einer weiten Reise hat, einfach super widerspiegeln.
Ich wünsche hier eine gute musikalische Reise, ohne dass ich noch groß dazwischen plappern werde. Hört euch die Songs an, schließt die Augen und stellt euch vor, ihr würdet 25.000 km mit dem Motorad reisen!

TTT 1 - The well known song "On the Road Again" - but in a wonderful cover version by Katie Melua:


TTT 2 - Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) (2003 Remaster):


TTT 3 - of course, the classic,
Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild (Easy Rider) (1969):


This were my 3 tunes dedicated to the two guys on a motorcycle journey from Hannover Germany to Kapstadt South Afrika and of course I hope they will have a good trip and you here enjoyed listening the tunes :-) Yours, B.

@clairemobey @zakludick and @jasperdick watch over there in South Africa if you see them passing by ;-)

Hi @beeber, my #ttt is pretty special this week, as it features my brother-in-law, it would be cool if you checked it out and gave him some support on Youtube and Spotify. Thank you.

I'll be back later in the week to listen to your tunes and read your post

Oh, what a nice rendition of On the Road Again, I like that.
And I love Born to be wild of course.
Great selection, fitting the theme. I hope they make it down there alright. Isn't @jasperdick from there?
That would be fun, if he came to met them.

Yes I mentioned him

👀 Ah, that's my fault, I stopped reading after I hit play on Born to be wild and enjoyed the music while writing the comment. So embarrassing 😳

Great selection and really cool that you met those guys! !ALIVE

In the Born To Be Wild song, so many guys without helmets, people must be much less afraid of accidents back then.

That Katie Melua cover is a killer! Thanks for sharing that. 👍

Long cool woman - awesome :) 💥 Maybe I'm gettin' old but they just don't make 'em like they used to.

And Easy Rider. Yeah! Born to be wild. 😁

Really enjoyed this. ❤️

Man, that's so cool, what an amazing trip that they will never ever forget!! Everyone should do something like this in a lifetime I believe.

Ah Katie Melua, I have not heard her in the longest time, my wife and I used to like to listen to Katie's songs. Nice motorbike riding songs here, allow me to add another from a Rap legend and see what ya think..
