Hello from Switzerland
« on: July 22, 2015, 02:05:16 PM »
Gentlemen and nurses

As a longtime reader I thought it’s time to register and say hello.

At home in Switzerland I bought my 400f in 1986 to get the driver’s licence. A year later, a GpZ 750 came in, but the 400f followed me all over the years – I never gave her away.

The chance to purchase a brand-new exhaust was the start of a full renovation. The bike passed the examination last year without any problem and is now registered as an oldtimer. Had a lot of fun driving it last summer, it feels like 30 years ago – same tics but all-in-all very pleasing [I’m talking about the bike].

As an office-monkey wrenching brings fun in my life. My other bike is also a supersport – 1992 Ducati, the never ending work in progress.

Last word: I’d like to thank everybody here for sharing knowledge, the forum is an incredible source of know-how and know-why. And: please apologize my poor/pidgin English, I hope to be nevertheless understandable.

Hi Daniel, and welcome! My memories of driving coaches to Switzerland make me wonder if it is any fun on a bike there, the Police in your country seem to really hate motorcycles. Almost every main road I travelled I saw bikers being stopped and harassed by them, yet they seemed to leave cars alone! Anyway, nice bike, hope you enjoy it on here. ;D

I know I know
Nogo with Ducati's 'normal' pipes. That's the reason why normally I cross the border and rev up in France. Lucky to live here where three contries get together.

Hi Daniel,
Welcome from me too. Great choice of bike!
As you will probably have seen there are many 400 owners on here, and many good and helpful people.
Probably not many members local to you though ....

Hi and welcome.

Those 400/4's run like swiss watches you know!

Trust you are close to the Alps with reference to France. Brilliant fun on a bike.

Boys and Girlz

Thank you so much for your warm reception. I promise to behave properly, if there's something to say i'll post, otherwise my mouth stays closed.

Enjoy the season, wintertime will come sooner we all believe.

Greets, Daniel

@Mick: pen pushers dark side aka 'special interest'
