[zaran]

smoke free at least (since juli 2012)

first of all, sorry for my bad english, im from europe and everything i know about this language...comes from my time in shool...long time ago )

Last year i changed my bmw 800 gs to a super tenere, and since them im infected
a wonderfull bike with power and very easy to drive... especially the seat is something i really appreciate.
with the old bmw i could not drive more than 150 km without pain... not a problem now...

on our blog (zush.de) you can check our travelling and our bikes.
my girlfriend rides a ducati monster

at the moment the winter holds us in a relentless grip here, no chance to make nice trips or nice photos...


my bike actually has the heidenau k60 scout installed,
pannier system from RMS Roger Guhr (handmade)
a garmin gps in a passive dock, installed at the handlebar
a large windshield from givi (very silent, no wind...maybe i change that back)

yeah, thats all about me and my bike...when the weather gets better i will make some
pictures from all the stuff i mentioned above...

again, sorry for my bad english

Welcome to the board, Mike...and don't worry about your English - we all speak motorcycle here!

 

[Scoobynut]

Your English is very good I think. Much better than my Deutsch! Welcome aboard.

 

[SupA-T]

Hey Mike!
Welcome aboard! I've ridden in Germany on a Yamaha IT 490 back in 1985. In the Hunsruck mountains and down to the Mosel.

What kind of bikes do they have in Germany? I mean colors for the ST? Here our choices are limited. I might buy a bike in Spain, they have cool colors to choose from.

god your english is bad ::015:: ::015:: ::015:: ::015:: ::015:: ::015::

no but seriously welcome, glad you're loving the bike.
I'm trying some tires that are from your area: http://thetenerist.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/mitas-dakar-4-ply-tires

don't worry, i'm from the other side of your border (poland), but a very long time ago, I left the motherland

::004:: Welcome from Cork in Éire Mike to the forum. ::003::

 

[William42]

Welcome from Illinois in the USA. Your English is fine. Looking forward to your pictures.

 

[barkingllizard]

a simple hello, zaran.....

 

[Siseneg]

::004:: and greetings from Washington D.C. Sounds like you are really enjoying the motorcycle. I know I do!

Hallo mein european Freund. Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass die deutschen Jungs Alkohol trinken ... so bin ich überrascht, dass Sie ein Alkoholproblem haben. Nur ein kleiner Scherz. Herzlich Willkommen auf unserer verrückten Forum können Sie ein Lachen mit uns haben werden. Ihr Englisch ist gut. Besser als mein Deutsch.

::015:: ::004::

 

[Rasher]

Sorry old bean, could not understand a word you said

To be honest when in German speaking lands I just have to look up what I want to say in a phrase book, or point at pictures in menu's.

Passing through the Black Forest again this year, but not seen much else of Germany, but hope to get out to the East one year.

 

[hANNAbONE]

welcome...

Schlessen das fenster mit einen knall.

That's as far as my German goes --

 

[klunsford]

::004:: to the forum from Oklahoma!

 

[zaran]

Thanx for the great welcome...

@SupA-T: Here you can see the available Colors in Europe

[SupA-T]

Thanks Mike, or as you Germans say, Sanks!

I browsed the different countries for the Tenere and it is amazing the colors available in one country and not another.
I have options.

As far as your english goes, just look at the way some of our members are making fools of themselves in an attempt to impress you with their german, you're good to go.

 

[Poohbear]

Welcome Mike. Your English is very good, but you really don't need to apologise for your English on here, most of the people on here are American so English is a second language anyway

 

[SupA-T]

Oh Steve, you're just asking for trouble > Second to what?

 

[SFC E]

Welcome aboard Mike! Where in Germany are you located? I live near Stuttgart.
