Tango Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Well mate, it's all change. I've taken early retirement from work and me and Bonniebird have moved to the South of France. Unfortunately both my bikes had to go, so I'm bikeless at the moment, but looking to get something hopefully early next year. You and yours all ok?

Guest Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 New bike time, exciting. Well done on the retirement. Me and the Mrs moved to Norfolk. It's like france, people speak with a funny accent and think tractors are everyday transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I love Norfolk. Empty roads. Peace and quiet and abnormally good weather for its location!Mind you I also love Wales, Scotland, South of France, Southern Spain and pretty much every location that isn’t here cos the traffic jams are tragic!

How d’you let that happen?!South of france. Sounds good. How’s that going? Glad you made it back here SCM.... Yeah, no bike......had to sell the Speedy because any bike over 100bhp has to have ABS over here....either that or be restricted to less than 100bhp.....and I just couldn't do that to Speedy, so he's got a new home now. The project bike was just too much to transport over, so that went too.It's early days for us over here yet......but so far, so good thanks.....

It's like france, people speak with a funny accent and think tractors are everyday transport. Nice one, mate. Yep, you are absolutely right about people talking funny and driving tractors.....it's just a little bit warmer here than Norfolk and we've got mountains just up the road....otherwise it could be the same place!

Tango Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 I’ve never heard that before. They don’t do grandfather rights then?It's possible to register a bike over 100bhp without ABS if it's over a certain age.....but unfortunately Speedy didn't fall into that category.... New bike?.....well, I was looking at the Royal Enfield Interceptor......but then Triumph released the new Trident.....so........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not started the Carte de Sejour thing yet as it's changed for Brits (WARP - Withdrawal Agreement Residency Permit), but it's not been decreed yet, even though the online site for it has been live for a few weeks now....so we're just waiting for that before applying....

We've got until the end of next June to get it sorted, but we're not going to wait. Once the decree is ratified and we know for sure what criteria needs to be met we'll go for it. It always was, mate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
