New project.

hey i thought you liked the KTM. welcome back tho,........even tho you never left.lol

 

Things seem to be going well for you biglad I'm trying to sell my property and get myself something too at least that was the plan but as always nothing goes as planned as i've spotted something. (more later).
I believe Triumph are bringing out a 800 tourer type of bike that is worth watching out for, either way the Tiger and the Bonne are stonking bikes especially the new Bonne. I've only seen the Street Twin review and you know what these reviews are like on new bikes but it's highly rated with especially good handling but maybe under powered for you. The 1200 Bonne is the one I'm watching but little hope of having one unless I win the 46 million tonight then I might have two or three or.....

 

Good luck with the move.
Are you staying in the same area or moving away ?
The new Street Twin looks the best of the new Bonnie's,wouldn't mind on as a second bike for sunny Sundays.
Oh! and good luck dealing with the Inland Revenue.......you'll need it

 

It's a beautiful part of France.
I've stayed in Gueret and Peyrat le Chateau and need to get back for another look at the Millevaches sometime soon.

 

I'm on the ferry now get those bacon and eggs going!!

 

Thanks for the generous offer,I would have been down there this year but our usual crowd all wimped out ans SWMBO decided that we're off to the Picos.
I'll be back

 

Yep, you won't be disappointed with the Picos, great scenery and roads, and the natives seem friendly. You're into the good stuff almost straight off the Santander ferry (although you might need a good pair of sea legs, ferry can be a bit bumpy down there). Only downer I can think of is the weather tends to be a bit British in my experience, been in that area 2 or 3 times and always seem to get a few days of fog/mist/drizzle, the stuff that sticks to your visor and end up pottering about with it up.

 

All the best biglad, is house selling and purchase of property straight forward in France. I have been selling a property over here and the red tape keeps on coming. One of my friends has sold his TOM recently - they have appeal to a wide section of bikers. Good luck mate..

 

I know my schoolboy French is a bit limited, but, am I right in thinking that Millevaches translates to 'a thousand cows'?
And if I am right ... why take another look?? Did you not see them all last time?? Were there too many to appreciate all at once?? Are you a lover of these fine animals?? Is their milk exceptional? Is their meat exquisite? Am I getting hungry?? Should we all be worried for you?
Damn this straightjacket!!
AAAAAGGGGHHHH!!! NURSE ..... THE SCREENS!!!

 

I think the full name is Plateau of a thousand cows,we didn't see that many but there was a lot of trees and it seems it was the gravel spreading season,which made thing "interesting"
Looking forward to the Picos de Europa.........apart from the boat
