Hey Paul and gang. Love this website. In a previous comment someone indicated that some of the Nighthawk 750's ( I have a 91 and runs like a top) due to the emissions additions ran "poorly" until thoroughly warmed up. Certainly I experience that. Is it something that can be remedied or the nature of the beast, it has so many other virtues that are outstanding. Thanks all for your input. Louie

I loved your quote: "The French are much better at suing for peace than prosecuting a war..."

The citadel is a fortress originally built on orders from Louis XIV. It has been beat up quit a bit since then. The French love it because in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 the Citadel held out against the Prussians even after all the rest of France surrendered (big surprise). Prussians still whooped the French and the Citadel. The Prussians left the Citadel in 1918 (huh). They came back a few years later with a swastika. Allies beat/bombed the crap out of the place and the French surrendered the fort for last time in 1945. In 1960 the fort was given back to the townspeople. It's now a museum with a "Garden of Peace" right below the southside walls. The French are much better at sueing for peace than prosecuting a war so the garden seemed appropriate. Awesome countryside. Awesome villiage; they really make great coffee and bread. joey --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
