Salut from France
« on: 01 May 2012, 11:09:35 am »
Hello from the fabulous Hautes-Pyrenees.

We are a two Fazer household - he's fared and I'm naked.  We both started biking approaching 40 and at the same time planned our move to France.  Midlife crisis?

We've been here a little over two years and have almost finished our self build.  Now that its just a question of slapping some paint on the walls we might get out on the bikes more.  The roads are awsome.  And many still covered in snow at the moment...  Good job we ski, too!

We had an easy time of getting the bikes French registered but MUST get the headlights changed as they are still for riding on the left.  (good job there's no MOT equiv) Yamaha have quoted (gulp) 500Euros for a new replacement and yet second hand seem to go for 2-300 on line.  We'll have start visiting the scrappies.

Envious of your surroundings!-How about a few pics? Hope you arent too troubled by recent(impending) French anti-bike legislation? Welcome to the forum. :)
