Translation of preservation in German

A little latter we came back to our home and Leonard offered me to take me around the city with his motorbike. I could not refuse although I am a little scared by these vehicles, as they are dangerous.
Did you hear about the earthquake this morning in Greece. This is really terrible, I think that quite a few viligars lost their lifes and many more lost their homes. I am really sad for all of them.
I found a pair of Nike shoes for a bargain and I do not know until this day why those shoes were so cheap. I am sure that they are not fake, as they are great quality. My wife also bought a pair.
