with the full intention of purchasing two bikes for himself and the missus to do a tour with their German cousin (and leave the bikes with the cousin post-adventure for future EU tours). Little does he know what temptation awaits.


Must…re…sist!

We Germans are never funny, we go to the basement to laugh. So can't be a good joke that starts with "Man walks into German bicycle store...".

I once spent a weekend in Ensenada with a Cuban dude and a German dude. The German dude was one of the funniest people I'd ever met. Although It'd be fair to suggest that my memory of the specifics is somewhat hazy...

A man walks into a German bicycle shop to inquire about getting the bulb in his little headlight replaced.

"Do you have a full crew today?" he asks the guy behind the counter. "How many of your guys do you think it will take to screw in the new lightbulb?"

"It will only take one man," the shop guy says. "We are very efficient and this is not a joke."

Ha! You're not kidding. One of the other cousins owned a shop outside Munich which specialized in "improving" Harley Davidsons. His motto was, "Build it better."
