Hello everyone!
Today is the day my OTP2018 report series starts. It will be day by day a day of travel with pictures and perhaps one or the other annotation/link, which are not to be found elsewhere. I wish you a lot of fun reading and those who were there a lot of fun remembering. Today it starts with Ralf´s Arrival in LAX !
You will find this report also here:

On my way to LA !

I got lucky! I was a little earlier in LA than Ralf and after a reunion with a friend, who introduced me to the most important customs in the land of unlimited possibilities, I was able to drive very relaxed on the day from Ralf´s arrival direction Irvine to Russ Saunders. Once there, I had to get a new lens for the camera and make the C10 "Veteran" suitable for the long distance. Russ and I mounted the GPS mount and the handlebar elevation. At the seat I could choose between three variants. Finally the Stockseat of the 1995 Concours was my choice. A first short test drive with "Veteran" was also satisfactory. So we took Russ´s Ford Pickup to pick up Ralf at LAX.
A small detail on the edge... Pam, Russ´s woman, came back from Paris the same day. So the car was full and the atmosphere was good. Arriving at the Saunders Ralf wanted to sort himself out, but Pam threw her things aside after her 16 hours day and preferred to make it as easy and comfortable as possible for Ralf and me. With so much hospitality we first had to learn to deal with. Nevertheless, everyone fell asleep very quickly, tired and satisfied to have arrived.
to be continued... ;D
