Looks a good doo

What an awesome idea that group is, just having a read now

It seems I have a very nomadic aspect to my personality. Home is where you make it. Tools and a bed for everyone haha. I might even let you have a crack on my sinful Surron

Aso regarding the tuinnel vision. I feel to of ended up in that position as things are now, this feels like an expansion of scope, more how I used to feel. I've done many things in life with people around me having the attitude of "if it was that easy everyone would do it"....... Everyone doesn't do these things because comfort is easy, staying in the same routines is easy etc etc...... Try something that's hard and you may find an aspect to yourself you either didn't kow existed or were scared to explore. I'll be keeping a house in the UK for tax reasons and will remain a UK domicile most likely for life. If things go wrong I pack the van and bring everyone home should that be the way everyone feels, we then go back to what was "easy" When I moved to France I ended up getting off a bus in the wrong place and having to hitch hike back to the house in some very cold torrential rain, very much a situation of desperation out in the french equivilant of the yorkshire moors, just darkness and fields, no lights, no houses. I ended up getting picked up by a pug 205 with a group of young lads smoking hash, blasting hiphop with one of the back seats entirely occupied by Malboro Red. I eventually got home, soaked to the bone and shivering. My friends back in the Uk, the people that chose easy comfort all urged me to just come home because it seemed hard. I had one cousin that changed my view and I'm always greatful I listened to his very blunt advice of "progress isn't easy, your still alive, remember how much you wanted this all to work out". I was back in shelter, I lit the open fire, changed into some dry cloathes and reflected on the nuts mission that the day turned into and signed the rental papers. I've chosen easy for too many years, I was suprised the missus chose hard this time around but given her response I'm happy to take the hard task on my shoulders and hopefully we all hit the ground running.

Oh I certainly see your point. To give a little more context. My missus and I had already agreed on moving to Wales to peruse a similar approach to life as I've described above. We had also agreed on Spain being a second home with the goal to be there as much as possible. It wasn't till her friend announced her move that my missus jokes that we'd have to move Poland instead now. She'd already mentioned a variety of aspects she liked regarding their school system. My posts here are definitely directed at the parts I'm exited about.

For me, living in a peaceful town out in the countryside, surrounded by vast forests and lakes, riding my bikes (leg, battery and petrol powered), being left alone by the government to live my life and raise my son in a traditional way just sounds awesome. I'd also try and open a motorbike related business out there, something I really enjoyed and that I can get my son involved in when he's a bit older, he's 4 in April for reference but already sits and "helps" as soon as my tool box opens

I'll leave this thread running and will post the road trip hilarities when I pack a van and do a 24h emigration mission. I'm sure there'll be some interesting stuff to share. When I moved to France I went down for a week, viewed a few houses, signed a contract, came home, packed my car, sold what I didn't need and went to live 20km from Spanish boarder. What a beautiful place.

Well I've previously lived in rural France on my own and very much regret ending up stuck back in the UK now I have a son. My missus's cousins girlfriend (Vee) is polish and they've decided to move back with their kids of very similar age to my son. Vees aunty owns and runs a school and several nursery's so there will be a job immediately for my missus and we will at least have a social circle of an English speaking family etc. The way I see it is let's just load a van and have a go. Waiting for perfect opportunities of this nature will often result in the person doing nothing. The school system got graded a good bit higher than the UK, offers a large amount of English lessons and life there is far less intrusive than how I see the UK system going. I'm also an impulsive guy who thinks almost anything will turn out fine. If it doesn't we'll pack the van and likely try Spain. With my Polish passport for me and my son we can just stay anywhere in Europe at a drop of a hat. It may well all go Pete Tong but it's going to be an adventure and a memory for life

Looking to get my passport by decent shortly and will be moving out there with my missus and son Figured I'd start a thread covering my move

And rightly so. If you can't control a push iron you shouldn't be on any motorbike imo

Anyone that driven to France will be familiar with their strange law regarding % of forgien music on the radio. Not quite an iron butt BUT I did West Yorkshire to the Spanish boarder in 1 sitting in a type R (bucket seats, no cruise and a painful amount of shyte French music) pretty easy. Just nailed Red Bull during my 4 fuel stops. In those days no speeding fines arrived home so it was entusiasm all the way I remember picking up some very scares looking hitch hikers as I came back through the pyranees after a house viewing. They really didn't appreciate nor forsee such abuse of the rev limiter as we screamed through the mountain.

I reckon I've got an iron butt in me for sometime soon

I used to play a triangle in a reggae band when I was young....... Mi used to stand at the back and ting

One doesn't "carry" a stabby thing BRO. Man putz it in his bag wiv his food KMT

Yes, not that I'd bother

Very often yes, luckily I'd have a full licence and a modicum of common sense

Ye I've come across a few bikes with similar and they've stood out loads more than the older single lights. The more modern LED headlights are also pretty good visibility wise

Oh deer oh deer

Sacrilege I know. I can here the uproar and disapproval from my keyboard! For those who don't know it's an electric crosser kinda thing, road legal in the spec I'd be getting. So, my ICE bike is stored with a mechanic about 10 mins away and I'm thinking of getting one of these as a toy and something cool to ride 1. When I'm heading for a ride on the proper bike and 2. Something that I can use for some childish fuckery etc / stealth off roading due to its close to silent operation. I don't have a garage and reckon this will fit in the apartment lift on its back wheel. Figured I'd start a thread for shytz and gigz Do feel free to voice your disgust in the fact I'm even considering something other than a dinosaur burning ve-hic-al. The pros are imo...... 1. Silence 2. Zero smell / oil 3. Close to zero maintenance 4. Loads of mods available 5. Immediate full power 6. Earth rotating torque 7. Look cool The cons 1. Range 2. Range 3. Lack of smell / oil 4. Range 5. Desirability for stabby stabby guys to steal it whilst I'm riding May the flood gates of comments commence

Do you not set your eyes to auto-dim?

Slay bitch

Own it

Useful to know

Hopefully you can put this down to one off foolish error, it seems you have the availability to get this locked off
