At 51, I would politely suggest you purchase a bike that's comfortable to ride i.e. keep awsy from sports bike and lean towards and adventure bike. Go for a mid capacity engine so it's easier to handle and maneuvre around. Get on the eurotunnel and head down to the South of France through the French Pyranese.
Just do it.
Hello to all.
I've been riding many years and live on the Derby/Staffordshire border.
I currently have 6 bikes, all Hondas, of which 2 are tax exempt.
I'm currently recommissioning a CBR600 FY (2000) and would like to get in touch with someone who owns a similar bike and, preferably, who lives in the area.
