Neat stuff: Kurvenbeisser Biker-Salamis

Something I wanted to find in Germany, and was successful finding, were these tasty products.



Sure, the salami quality was what you could expect in a motorcycle store, but the packaging is first-rate: Kurvenbeisser translates as "curve biter", a cheeky double entendre, and there are four packages to collect, each with a description of a suggested motorcycle route in Germany. Very cool, my motorcycling friends really appreciated them.

Something I plan to do as soon as I can is obtain a motorcycle licence (I was prevented from doing so a year ago because of my foot problems)--the roads in Germany are excellent, and the motorcyclists in Baden-Württemberg and in the Alps were having at least as much fun as I was having on my bicycle.

Stuttgart has a sort of "motorcycle row" along Bundesstraße 27, not far from the centre of town, with several shops side by side. If you take the S- or U-Bahn trains north from the Hauptbahnhof, you can't miss them on the west side of the street as you emerge from underground.
