I can speak a tiny bit of French, not well and with incorrect pronunciation. Will that qualify me as a girlfriend? You ladies might have some competition.
Seriously, I had been thinking about getting some panniers for my college kid, and I'm glad I didn't buy them yet, because those are the best I've liked so far.

I have a pair of Arkel panniers for my cruiser that I bought three years ago. Successfully shipped to the post Katrina mayhem that was New Orleans. Just a quiet order. But at that time I was surprised when anything actually arrived at my doorstep. So maybe Yves pulled off a magic trick.

Another Yves Alert
There has been another Yves sighting.....
Yves and I (doesn't that have a nice ring?) decided to freak out my bank for a second them. We added the rain covers for the panniers (which I forgot) to the order making it now a different total and surprise, surprise.....the bank melted down, threw themselves over my pile of shiny coins, and wouldn't let Yves touch them. Again.
One more call to the bank combined with a description of Yves of the North, and the bank teller swooned....and then she laughed when she discovered that Yves (now found to not be perfect but who cares???) had typed in my card expiration date as 3020 or something and that's why they balked on releasing the funds.
So I called Yves with the good news and got his answering machine. Okay, I admit it, I listened to the recording more than once. But only 4 or 5 times. We could say that I was trying to brush up on my French but I can't lie....I never spoke French.
WARING WARNING WARNING
Yves tells me that Mrs. Yves is now monitoring this thread so we may have to go underground......."The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we might become." Charles Dubois
