Hi from the feet (Grenoble) of the highest french Mountains
« on: May 12, 2014, 00:25:23 »
Hi All,

After, 2 french Vara meetings we learned about this forum and the next VIM.

Otherwise, my firsname is Laurent, I bought my 1st Varadéro 2 years ago (the last serie produced).
My 1st motobike in 1995 was a Susuki 750 GSX-R, and now I am older and married  :D

I live near Grenoble and have a passion for aviation (glider, paraglider, aircraft, and helicopter).

I hope to meet you or some members in the next VIM or following, but now it is to early for me to be sure to be free due to my (may be) new job without holliday (in the 1st year).

So read you soon.

Regards,
Laurent

Bienvenu Laurent!
Enjoy this forum and your Vara!

BTW. I remember going up in your city one of the steepest pieces of asphalt I've ever ridden, 30% !

Greetings,

Josep

Welcome here at this great forum.

With interest I have read your introduction, because I know the region of the seaalps well.
I'm, lets say once a year, at Vaumeilh (Sisteron Airfield) to have on top in my glider the nicest view from the alps.

Would like to see you next VCIM in Norway or the year after in France.

"Neck and broken leg" as we wish among "hobby"pilots in Germany.

Welcome Laurent.
I have a picture of my wife, taken in Grenoble some years ago. Unfortunately, it's an X-ray of her neck taken in one of the clinics, where we calmed our nerves after a helter-skelter ride down the mountain, from Les Deux Alps, in a high-speed ambulance/taxi. She was fine, by the way but since then, we ski in Italy.
I hope to be in France with the Varabeast this summer. Roads to put many other countries (especially mine) to shame.

Hi all,

Thank you for your warm welcome.

So, you are welcome here, with or without Vara, with or without glider, but with cheerfulness and humor.
We will ride on under the snow, icing conditions or very hot T° in summer  :)  :)  :)

And why not a liitle tour in the Grenoble's sky.

See you VCI members.

And Zeb, if you need help (remote help) for the french edition, you can count on me.

Regards,
Laurent
