Default Hello from Paris, France

Hi,

I'm a French citizen, riding for the past 16 years and now proud Harley owner.

I live in Paris, France (not for from the Eiffel Tower, actually) and try to ride my bike as often as I can (which is not enough, if you ask me ;-)

I ride a Road King Classic '08 (Vivid black). I try to ride it as often as I can, and have been visiting several European countries, including France (obviously), Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria and Germanu.

I love taking pictures of bikes and landscapes and have posted a couple of them on flickr.com.

Glad to be here in order to share tips and tricks about motorbikes made in Wisconsin.

Ride safe,


--Tristan

Yes, they're pretty popular, although they tend to be very expensive compared to Japanese bikes, so they're considered as high-end/luxury.

But there is quite a few of them, especially in the South of France, where you can ride more, thanks to the better weather.

Here is another picture I took of my bike, on Juno Beach (Normandy, France)

Here is me in France this past august omaha and great uncles grave, killed june 7th in Saint Mere Eglise, jumped into town the 6th lived, got killed taking town on the 7th, batallion of the guy getting hung up on church. Sad, but necessary.

I will say this the French were the most curtious drivers towards bikers in Europe, move over let you split lanes etc etc. Have a pic here somewhere with me and wife under teh Eiffel tower with the 09 Ultra, made the cops nervous when we manuvered thrpough the barriers but the cam by and chatted while what seemed like a thousand tourists took pics with the bike. Visit south of France and Paris 4 times per year for business.
