Kevin St. Laurent, Mark Palatucci, Dave Trier and Joel Tornatore are lindy hoppers from San Francisco. We all wanted to tour Europe on a motorcycle. We all wanted to dance in as many European cities as possible. MotoLindy is our two month motorcyle and dance tour of Europe. We left San Francisco on June 16th and rode to Vancouver where we put our bikes on a cargo airplane bound for Frankfurt, Germany.
