Hi from Sunny France.

Been 'lurking' on the forum for a short while, reading up on various threads and thought it was time I introduced myself. 

I'm English but had lived in France for over 14 years.

I'm retired as in pretty old 

I bought my current bike 2013 Intruder C800 following the discovery, after a knee replacement, that I wasn't comfortable on my previous bike (Couldn't get the knee bend it needed)

So far I am very pleased with it. It suits my 6'1" frame and the 'feet-forward' makes it very comfortable to ride.

It came with all sorts of accessories but as I don't carry passengers the rear rack, seat and 'Sissy-bar' have been replaced with just an 'over-mudguard' rack.



Regards

Gary.

Hi Gary and   thats a very nice looking bike m8

  Gary, what part of France are you in may I ask as the rabble are organising another 'Raid' next year so it may help to be aware of that ha ha ha!

Thanks guys, 
Peter, we live in Vienne (the middle bit) and just 30k south of Poitiers.

Ah was in Poitiers many years ago, nice area!

Gary
Admit it you finally joined because you missed taking the p out of fellow brits

Hi Gary   lovely looking bike you've got there 

  Gary!  .....


I had noticed you 'lurking'[size=16] [size=13]by the way, was going to invite you in via the 'France Trip' thread.[/size][/size]

Yes I saw the thread. Granville and Deauville are beautiful as is most of the coast around there. St Michel is a lump of rock at the end of a causeway. You need to pretty fit to explore the monastery.

I am part of a group of 'expats' (Tourdregs Club Moto) who regularly tour all over France, Spain etc.


Thanks for the welcome guys.

Lovely colour combo that black and red. .

Welcome on board Gary - nice colour combo.  Looks good without the pillion seat as well - if you don't need it, don't bother
