PREPARATION SUMMER FRENCH

[Cormanus]

No not a recorded artist, just do odd Country gigs with backing trax. I have a small home studio where I produce my own trax. I play generally Fender guitars, but I own a Musicman and Gibson Acoustic.

Nice. I don't play much anymore, but I have a lovely Seagull 12-string acoustic and an ancient Epiphone 6-string that I bought in London in 1976.

Love, guitars nearly as much as m, bikes.
Bet the Epiphone is quite collectable if its from the 70s.

Lol most people in the US are coffee drinkers. I have never cared for the taste of coffee. To me it's bitter.

My grandmother on my mothers side was Welsh. She taught us to drink tea with creme and sugar as wee lads. To me there is nothing better than the taste of a good cup of tea. Love it, LOVE IT! First thing in the morning, last thing at night, every day.

I like my coffee like I like my women, black and bitter!

Creme means milk..could be half and half, 2% 3.2 %.. Mostly 3.2 vit D for me.

Lol think we hijacked this luggage thread enough?

Dunno. Should we have a cup of tea and talk about it?

Je ne pensais pas q'une photo de ma moto équipée des valises et du top case allait provoquer un tel débat Waouooooo!
Pour les contenances, 2 x 30 L les valises Hepco Becker et 55 L le top case Givi et vu la puissance du moteur, les wheelings la moto chargée et à 2 dessus, on oubli! et en ce qui me concerne, c'est tasse de café et tartine de pain grillé vu que j'ai déjà le griile pain!

I love this banter back and forth between members from different country's... a great way to pick up tidbits about other people, their cultures, and their bikes... this is terrific! And yes... tell us about those pipes!!! They look great!

Uh... could you repeat that?

I believe no matter where on this planet we live, as people we have more in common than we have differences. If people could only see it.

So true. And why can't we accept the differences? You would think the very worst would be if we all were the identical. You see it even here. If a fellow rides a Harley he suspect in the eyes of some just for that. Let alone if he would dare be "significantly" different in religion, politics or ethnicity. We are all guilty of narrow thinking. It seems to be within our DNA. And clearly we need to fight. I often think how friendly we humans would get if invaded from "out there". Until then for that lack of anything better we'll continue to fight those different. Damn those Harley riders any ways.

Easy Bubblerboy... I hear my Harley revving up in the garage... I think it's prepping for a fight... and the keys not even in it!!

According to Google Translate:—

Quote:I do not think that a picture of my motorcycle with suitcases and top box would cause such a debate Waouooooo!

For capacities, 2 x 30 L Hepco Becker luggage and 55 L Givi top box and saw the power of the engine, the motorcycle wheelie loaded and 2 above, we forget! and for me, it's cup of coffee and slice of toast because I already have the grill the bread!

Thank you Cormanus for the translation. Although there are parts of it I still don't understand. Oh well, back to tea... or coffee?

Tea for me at this time of the day!

I've had a better look at the translation and I'm not sure about the second part. I think Criquibi's saying that the 2 x 30L Hepco Becker panniers and a 55L Givi top box, he's got plenty of capacity. Even fully loaded and with 2 people, there's plenty of power in the engine to move the bike along.

He then joins the hijack and says he's be drinking coffee and eating toast because he already has the toaster.

Now someone who speaks good French can tell me I've got it all wrong!
