New member from France

Hi, my name is Erick, and i love all of my V4 bikes, VF400F, VF500FII, VF750F, VF1000F, VF1000R and the younger is a 1988 VFR750F, all of my bikes are running and i make myself all mechanical. So , sorry for my bad english spoken. I'm 44 year old and live in Toulon in south of France. :biggrin:

 

Bonjour Erick,
je m'appelle CARMINE et je suis un senior member de ce web site. Je continue en anglais pour nos amis du site : Hi, here you will find friendship and many technical supports and experience for any need as regards your VFR : mine is a 87 VFR 750 (rc 24) white pearl color and you can see it in the photo gallery. Welcome !
I write from Naples and my wife is a french girl (from Lille). Tchao and Lamps !
Carmine

 

Welcome, Erick!

 

Welcome aboard mate! The VFR is a world bike...Pictures PLEASE

 

Welcome, and don't worry about your English. We have rednecks here in America that speak much worse than you.

 

Mot de bienvenue du friches congelés du Wisconsin. :welcome:

C'est tout à fait l'écurie de motos que vous avez là Erick. Que diriez-vous quelques photos afin que nous pouvons tous voir ces belles mécaniques.

Ce n'est pas souvent que l'on arrive à voir les machines modèle européen ici, aux Etats-Unis donc pour nous c'est toujours un régal.

Désolé pour mon mauvais français, il est mieux que je peux faire avec le traducteur Google.

 

'Frozen wastelands of Wisconsin' sounds funny in French. Just saying ;-)

Welcome to the OP! Super nice collection of V4s in the stable. Kudos!

 

LOL. Too funny IC,I was thinkin' the exact same thing when I saw the translation.

Useless trivial factoid of the day for you IC. The word "wastelands" does not actually translate into French. I had to break that word down into "waste lands" to get the Google translator to work properly.

 

Bellou - Its nice to see another French rider join us - welcome from the frozen wastelands of Chatel in the French Alps.

I guess down by the Med coast its still warm enough to ride your bikes most days. Sadly with almost a metre of snow here in the village - skis are the main mode of transport for the next 5 months, and my VFR will probably be staying in the garage until Spring. Only if the roads are clear on 25 March, I will get the dust sheets off early and join the annual FFMC-74 Spadino mass ride through the Mont Blanc Tunnel.

Bienvenue.
Une belle collection de motos que tu as. J'ai hate de les voir toutes alignées. J'ai seulement deux motos et il y a toujours quelque chose a reparer. Tes outils sont plus rapidement rentabilisés que les miens

 

Those damn French....They always drink all the red wine.

Welcome to the site for sure. We have some French in our family too. Baxter is a miniature French Poodle. Ya gotta be a little thick skinned here. You must have some fine roads to ride where you are. I would love to find my way over your way sometime before I leave this Earth but there are so many places to see. Maybe some year I can get over there to see the likes of you and Carmine of course. But post up photos for sure. Especially riding around your area.

 

Your collection sounds very similar to mine. What year are they? I also agree that you've got to post some pictures for proof of ownership

 

Salut Erick. J'ai un 2000 en jaune, avec 65k mi. Le VFR et une belle et fine moto. Bienvenue.

Oui, je sais que mon francais est horrible.:tongue:

This is an easy motorcycle to love. It does everything better than average and some things better than anything else. You will be very happy with it. Hopefully you can get enough information in English, because my french is not very good anymore.:smile:

Jose

Have you started to think about rides this summer? If its of interest - up here in the Abondance Valley we have an annual motorbike and rock music festival which last year attracted hundreds of bikers and some great rock bands. If you get a chance to come, its great fun with SAMVA (the local bike club) organising rideouts, barbeques and treasure hunts each day and rock bands into the small hours, there are also VTT and trials bike displays and stalls selling biking gear and crazy challenges to test your agility. This year the event runs from Friday 20 July to Sunday 22 July and at 18 euro for a three day pass its great value too - there is even free camping right beside the concert arena and main parking area.

There is more information in English here :-
Burn Mountain Rock Festival Flyer and in French here :- French Flyer

I will be going every day, and it would be good to see a few more VFRs in the valley.

Ok for this first time only one picture of my RC24, i will take an new picture of my others V4

 

Welcome, very nice ride there Erick. Now that we have seen one of your bikes can we PLEASE see some FRENCH WOMAN-

 

Welcome! I visited France last summer. My girlfriend and I went to the feria in Nimes (she used to live there). It was probable the best time I've ever had in my life. What an experience!

 

Hi Erick,

My English is bad and I'm American. However, I have been looking into an Alps trip this summer. I was thinking of using Munich as a center point and riding the alps from there. Do you think riding the alps from France is a better deal? I would be there from late July through mid August. I would appreciate any thoughts on this.

 

Showoff !!
