For the Nth time...Europeans Suck

[mcoyote]

This is just a silly little post -- I just got my Caberg Justissima GT helmet from MotoBrio (about 4days to Seattle) and the pile of accessory and gear catalogs they tucked in the box has the awesomemest stuff. The EU has cooler everything -- even their useless bling is bad-ass. I'm going where they really appreciate motorcycles and riding. See you .

Come over any time I love my Caberg Justissima!
Its much more difficult over here to find after-market parts for bikes, thats my main complaint about the UK (not sure how it is on the Continent). That and it's always f'in raining
Exhausts and things are easy but sometimes getting hold of obscure doo-hickys is nigh on impossible and you have to pay to ship from the States (or do without)

Yeah, but you get to say things like: "Nigh on impossible" and "Zed" and "Al-loom-mini-um"...which more than makes up for it.  

+1 on Europes bike culture putting U.S. pirates and squids to shame.

You're moving to Tennessee then ?!?!?    

[bogthing]

My Aunt had that Caberg Justissima, fortunately for her they caught it in time...

There's this long, BBQ-, beer-, and pot-flavored chain of genetic evidence linking me to the hills of Tennessee on my father's side. I'm still working very hard to bury that, so no .

In my youth I tried to disassociate myself from my Southern heritage.  Fortunately I realized that was foolishness.  I embrace my heritage and culture as I watch others seach for theirs.  It ain't gonna be found in Denver or Seattle.

Ain't that true...Seattle has zero culture!

I'm moving to Europe too.....one day!

So what kind of fascinating farkles do they have that we can't get?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Capri pants....for men.

Seriously, I'm deployed on a multi-national post right now and we have french, aussies, and brits wearing these damn things.  These are male soldiers/airmen I'm talking about fer chrissakes!  I mean, I guess it's very european or something to wear these damn things but they are still uber ghey.

My FZ6 is a very popular bike in Europe. I've seen some of the European accessories and I've always wondered why we can't get them in the U.S. Seems like the EUropeans do get some pretty cool stuff.

Don't you just hate us? Best bikes, best gear....

Ant... try getting some Givi stuff for an F4i in the states. I feel your pain! I wish (hint) that I knew of someone (hint) in the UK who could (hint) help out with shipping some Givi stuff (hint), say part numbers 252F and PL169 (hint) state-side for me (hint).

I'm just saying...

Hmmm... for some reason I'm getting a strong sense that I should send you a PM

Too bad the US distributor for Schuberth went toes up as I need a new visor for my C2 and they ain't nowhere to be found here.  Luckily a buddy has a daughter who lives in Germany so she's supposed to snag me a few and mail them over.

Lesson learned for me, though.  I'll go back to HJC or maybe an Arai after the Schuberth has run its course.

So I take it you don't care for quaint little coffee houses where you can sit all day, engage in polite conversation and read a good book? LOL.

Me neither.
