On the Road With

Motoring Across Europe

Northville’s Patrick Giesa took along his copy of The ‘Ville during a 15-day motorcycle trip across Spain and Portugal. The trip included tours of castles and wine regions of the two countries. He and his group rode about 200 miles each day. The trip started and ended in Madrid. Giesa said it was “definitely a bucket list” trip.

“The people I rode with come from all over the U.S. and are accomplished riders who are here for the curves,” wrote Giesa, who is pictured here (top left photo) at Cabo Da Roco, Portugal -- the westernmost point on the European continent.
