A Louis bag? They started in my home town Hamburg, Detlev Louis..
It has escaped me that they sell beyond the German borders.. cool!
Wow, after all these years I just learned the birthplace of the most value for money motorcycle gear business. One day I have to reach that North end of Germany, I've heard only nice comments about your home town (though winter must be penetratingly humid and cold). Louis ships around Europe and they have a handy site with good customer support. They messed up a bit in my case though. I ordered that dry roll bag you see with another 4 smaller bags (same as the green ones on the bike but different colour). Though their site showed enough availability I get an email a few days later telling me that they didn't have enough stock so they just shipped the big black dry roll. Without even asking me! SO I told them "are you serious? who on earth would like to proceed with this order since now the shipping costs more than the bag you sent me!" Long story short, I asked them to refund the shipping costs and they did. In the same email I asked them if they had those bags in any of the other colours so that they'd give me the chance to choose. They probably passed it and just told me "sorry , availability is not ebough". A couple of days later I thought "let's check those bags again" cause I couldn't find them cheaper ANYWHERE on earth, even considering their shipping cost (which is the same regardless the order). So I saw that they still listed them in this oilve green and army green and I proceeded with the order hoping this time I'll be luckier and as you see I was. Moral of the story, dear Louis employees, read your clients's responses more carefully, saves time for them and money for your company :)
I bought a few things from their store in Tilburg Netherlands. Their prices are hard to beat. BTW, now they have those green bags for just 10 euros each! They really wanna end their stock. I got them for 12 or so.
Haha, sounds a bit of an ordeal! Well, I guess that is distant selling for you..
I used their shop obviously when I lived there and had a motorbike.
They must be really cheap I suppose and with it all being Europe it makes it simpler as well, which is great.
The island here has become that again, an island.. and, yes, I am a European at heart..
Hamburg can get nippy around the New Year but it really isn't that bad anymore, however, it might be for you who gets all the sunshine where you normally are.. lol
It sure is worth a visit and you should go some time!
Don't forget to pop into Louis when you do! 😄

I can't find the date for next year, but this one was in June..
Wow that's huge crowd of bikers. Thanks for the heads up, I had no idea the largest event of this kind takes place there. Probably because I am not super fan of such events :) Though I guess they must be much more civilised than the ones taking place in the South of our lovely continent.
Very civilised as far as bikers can be.. 🤣
Haha, right. Such events in Greece became at some point unbearable even for the organisers themselves. Never attended any, never belonged in any club. I guess I'm a rare case of a person with low needs in belonging somewhere :) People are even caught by surprise for the fact that I am looking forward to the electric future of bikes. They go like "really? won't you miss the vroom vroom?" And I'm like "I prefer to not miss my sleep because of the other's vroom vroom". Our cities will become such a much better place to be and people don't even think about it or weight it at all.
I LOOOVE that! I'm the same! I hate it when people leave their cars or machines idling.. waiting for someone or having their breakfast in the car.. 😄
Bring on electric any day!!
They are pretty good at that event.. it was started by a vicar in the 80s who looked after the motorbike police force and wanted to bring people together; it's a bit of a tradition now and well loved by all.
I should think it's VERY civilised still, I haven't been for many years but I'd like to go again myself one day..
You'll find a lot of mature Harley riders there who wear fine clothes and such and are not the type to punch others.. haha
Hi 🙂 maybe you stop by from time to time..
Hope youre fine and have warmer weather than we have. Although the cold winter also has beautiful aspects. Do you celebrate Christmas?
Greats from the North 🙂
Hey! I do check my wallet here hence I just saw your message. Gloomy and rainy today but in general we have a rather mild winter so far, even by our Mediterranean standards. North Greece and mountainous areas at an altitude are another story though and it has snowed there. Maybe not as much as it might had at Gaberl pass 🙂 Graz in Christmas white must be so scenic.
I spend these days trying to record some music ideas and refresh my old songs to later make them available for download. I use a new program for that now and as usual there's a learning curve...
Always nice to hear from you and thankful for stopping by. I'm really sorry for the latest challenge you faced (just read your last post) added to the ones you already deal with. I resonate with you describing yourself as a person who used to worry a lot (and maybe still does despite the lack of "space to worry"). I'm kinda the same. Many years ago I fell on an article talking about "Overthinkers with a sensitive heart". Out of curiosity I started reading it and... it was scary spot on about who I am.
So what happens if it happens that you are one of them? Personally it feels to me as a gift and a curse. You win some loose some as in most cases. In this one though, what costs the most is that most people are too flat for your rich emotional world. So they either can't understand you or can't/don't want to deal with it. Gotta be lucky to find the right ones. Only a very few times I was🙂
Funny how it's like we're tuned from factory to be what we are about to be and there's slight changes we can do, critical as they can be though. Over the last years I try to be more emotionally efficient without sacrificing or compromising my baby soul. I can easily say that's a huge task but even this does not compare to the successful fight you have achieved so far and to which you have the best of my wishes as always.
Wish you sunnier and more promising days up there! Stay warm and happy 😊
Happy you stop by from time to time! Please dont feel sorry, I see the latest October challenge as a worthful "BAMM" from the universe, to finally really, deeply and honestly change sone things I still was avoiding to dive in.
Never heard of emotional overthinking, but short time ago I stumbled (again) over the topic of high sensitive people, wich explained a lot to me. I think the tasks we have in life can never be compared, probably each one creates his own dramas, Always challenging to the limit we personally have? Dont know 🤷♀️
No snow in Graz at the moment. In the mountains of course, but not here. White Christmas is so magic, it calms and slows everything down, but the last time we had was 10 years ago.
Good luck with the new program and enjoy you music passion 🙂
Dear @beeber , here's the first of my tunes that I finished remastering and I think it matches the weather you have right now. Besides, it's aptly named "Ice" anyway :)
There you go:

For the first time downloadable too :)
Happy New Year! May the new one realise the wishes that the old one didn't.
Hi, thank you for the link! Its Magic. Reminds me of your 23 tour sound, but is different. I see you walking through icy but sunny high snow mountains
HAPPY NEW YEAR dear Orestis
May it be more peace and lightful for us all
Thank you for your flattering words. I thing you'll like this first morning of 2024:
Thank you for this one and sorry for the late reply, still try to stay most of the time avoiding online times, ok ;-) not always that easy, the more I try, the more I see how much time I vasted the last years.
This video is so wonderful! So peaceful. I hear the ocean calling me and wonder how it really would be tp live by the sea
!LUV
Wow, it's been ten years since the last white Xmas in Graz? That doesn't sound like traditional Graz weather but you know it much better than I do obviously.
Just finished revamping an old tune of mine which matches the case perfectly aptly named "Ice". This means I'm doing good adapting to the new software ;) When I finish some of them I will either upload them on my site or check other ways to sell them online.
Enjoy your snow free Xmas!
Unfortunately I can't reply to you on Discord. I'm getting this message:
I texted you yesterday and today I removed a bunch of servers. I didn't think of that issue but it's OK. No worries - thanks🙂
