OT - Anyone out there speak German?
At least I think it's German. Would you have a minute to help a sista out? I need to know what this website says about an antique motorcycle.

Becca there is a site called babblefish.com that has a translator. You can copy and paste any language text in and it will translate to any language for you.

That website only has the picture. The words underneath just say that there is no higher resolution avalable. The rest is just crediting the sources and the licenses for using the picture.

I actually had a point to make before the misfire...
Sorry for the multiple blank messages - keyboard on the new laptop seems to be supersensitive, and it seems that NotRot creates duplicate messages if you press the Enter key too hard...
Anyway, the URL tells you the language - nl.wikipedia.org is Dutch (nl=Netherlands), and de.wikipedia.org is German (de=Germany). It's probably something you could have lived the rest of your life without knowing, but since I shot 3 blanks I figured i should at least finish the thought.

I will send you an email
with the name, phone number and email of one of our network members that is very fluent in German. Manfred only came here as an adult.

Becca, my hubby is a classic bike freak
If there is something about that bike you need to know? If he doesn't know, he'll know where to find out.

Re: Becca, my hubby is a classic bike freak
Christi,
Thank you so much. We have a 1936 G90 Matchless Super Clubman with 38 original miles that we are trying to get an estimated value on. The problem is, they are so rare, that it's next to impossible to get the information. Please, feel free to call or email me with any information you & your Hubby might have.

WOW, what a bike and 38 miles!
Again, just wow! Hubby's asleep (I'm the night owl) But I'll ask him tomorrow
(err, later today) and let you know.

I took German many years ago and this does not look like German. It could be Finnish or Norwegian, but I am not an expert on those languages, when reading them. I am, usually, better when I hear it spoken. Try Google and search for websites that do translations. Some of those site are free.
