Hello from Germany!

[Ralf73]

My name is Ralf and I am from Munich. I ride the Crossrunner now for about four weeks and I am totally hooked on to ride this bike.  As I had the 1000 km service, I got the CBF600. A nice bike, too, but I was really really happy to have my Crossrunner back.
Now I am for one week one Lanzarote and I miss my Crossrunner.  So I hope on passably weather next week in Munich, to make some rides through the Bavarian Alps again. 
Have a nice week and sorry for my english. I now its not perfect. Ralf

Hi Ralf73 - and welcome 
Your English is much better than my German

Am jealous of you being able to ride in Bavaria - I was there in July - fantastic - will be back next summer.

Have a good time in Lanzarote

@Hi, xrunjoe: maybe You call me, when You are in Bavaria? Would be nice. If You stay in the South and if You are planing to rent a bike (or will You come with Your XRunner? ) we could meet and make a tour through the Oberland (Oberland = the area between South of Munich County and the alps). Of course with a break in a Biergarten (Sorry, I found no translation for Biergarten - but maybe You have heard from).

@Hi, Rocker66: hm, the sentence is not really clear to me. Perhaps should it something with "enjoy" and "safety"? If I translate this sentence back, I would it do like that: Enjoy Your Crossrunner in safety... Maybe You let me now the sentence in English? I am nosey which words You got during BMW riding days.

Enjoy your Crossrunner in safety is exactly what I wanted to say. From my BMW days I learned that the correct pronounciation is BAY-EM-VAY I also discovered words like Bremse and ausunpuffen which I hope that I have spelt correctly . I also learned simple things like how to ask for a beer and if there is a room available.Biergarten translates as beer garden . My visit to the BMW factory in Berlintaught me that tiergarten is German for Zoo. I named my customised R90/S Das Tier

Ralf - just starting to make plans for next summer tour (4 bikes).

I think we will maybe go firstly to Grenoble/Mont Blanc area, then over to Lake Garda (might be able to link up with Pella who lives Modena), then over Stelvio and up towards Kempten area (Jungholtz) where there is a hotel we want to revisit, and then over onto B500 and maybe stop nr Baden Baden before returning via Calais. Maybe we could link up with Ruhri and Flieger as well!!

Will let you know where and when once we have sorted our route out.
