New from Paris......France.

Hello everybody ... some months after registration, I introduce myself: I am 48 and I practice the bike since 1979. My first Harley Davidson was, three years ago, a 1996 Sportster Custom. Since last year, I am the happy owner of a Dyna Superglide Custom. I live in Paris, a few tens of meters from the Eiffel Tower.
After eighteen years in the Air Force, I now work in the French parliament.
I have three children from a previous marriage (28.25 and 20 years) and I am now engaged to another woman. A Harley Davidson, a beautiful wife and beautiful roads ... that ask for?
If, despite everything, I envy you, the American people to live the best, the freest and most respected country in the world. I also have an apartment in Normandy and whenever I drive on the roads of Normandy, I think all Americans who fell on the landing beaches ...
Soon on the U.S. roads ...

Welcome - and thank you for appreciating America/Americans - those sentiments seem to be somewhat out of vogue in these times.

Very Welcome from America.

I was in Paris in 1982 as well as LeHarve.

I have nothing but fond memories of your country

Do you think I'd be welcome back???

You are all welcome in France; the French love the Americans ... but there are some idiots ... and the French have a "Light" superiority complex ...
The dollar / euro is not interesting for you at this time. I take this opportunity to order parts from LSHD1 or Dennis Kirk. If you have any other addresses, I am a buyer.

Welcome!

We've been to Paris a few times, the last spent at a hotel on Av Pierre 1er de Serbie. It was New Year's Eve and we celebrated at the Trocadero (sp?).

Its a great city. Great restaurants. Parisians have ALWAYS treated us well.

Is the Harley dealer near the Bastille Opera House still in business?

Bonjour, FRED084, from Dayton, Ohio - and thanks for the kind words ... it was the French who helped give us that freedom. I have been to your great country on business several times and loved each visit. Ride safe, and congratulations on your engagement!

Thank you all for your warm welcome; the shop is always in Bastille, there is one other on the Champs Elysees and a third in the south of the capital. The Trocadero is the playground of my dog, a Jack Russel ...

Bienvenu Parisien. J'habite le nord de la Belgique (Vlaanderen), je travaille pour une société française. On se donne rendez-vous à
St-Tropez en avril et puis à Lucarno, Suisse en Juillet. You cannot afford to miss these HOG-meetings. A bon entendeur salut.
