hiwant to buy a lhd glass for my uk spec 98 honda cb250 nighthawk for driving in europe. Done a search and cannot find a supplier, is the french name optique de phare? Anyone got any suggestions for a supplier, I think its a standard 7 or 8 inch lense, not sure as bike is in uk. Thanks

hiIt looks as if we will have to wait until my wife is in receipt of her oap. Just hope uk in the meantime doesn't exit the eu.

hian old biker friend who hasn't had a bike for a long time recently visited india and had some great fun with his wife on the back of a re 350. He even said it leaked oil! I'm trying to get him to buy another bike for use in the uk where he lives (nothumberland). I sold my scooter a burgman 400, kept at our french holiday home, last year and just recently bought a honda cb250 1998, for the uk I'm actually sending my friend links to similar ones for sale. For around a grand you can get an almost immaculate traditionally styled commutor/cruiser, I for one don't like the styling of most modern bikes. A 250 will have to do, I find driving in the uk very trying, will pick my routes, mainly secondary roads through yorkshire, durham, cumbria and northumberland. If I graduate to a bigger bike again, I would look at a s/h bmw cs650 single. One thing I don't like is weight, the little honda is less than 140kg, 200kg is too much for me. I would never have a big bike, only ever got up to a 500 in my youth and it was too fast for me then. I just love being on two wheels.

hichange the oil and filter use correct type and fully synthetic.

HiI bought a stoves cooker from the uk and installed it here in france. I have my bottle in the next room so a metal pipe has to go through the wall in an appropriate cobduit. I have no leaks and it has been working fine for over two years. When we sell the house I will undo all the work and take the cooker with me. If you do work correctly you will not have any operational problems. I do all my own work, building and mechanical,, I just don't trust another to do my work.

hiI drive to the uk about once every 12 months, the other times I fly, perhaps 4 round trips a year. If I had to drive them it would cost too much. We find it makes sense to have a car at both ends.
-
Unfortunately the cost is significant to most of us.
-
You trivialise the cost.
-
I agree Tony some people have come to france with uk benefits and are treating them as income by right, i.e it can never be withdrawn.The government can and do alter their rules.
-
is that french?
-
hiDaffie, be positive you are not as incapacitated as you thought, 3 is a long way short of 15. Throw your energies into finding work, whether in france or the uk.
-
Judith that is a very sexist statement.
-
Lighten up Sunday Driver it wasn't meant as a serious suggestion.
-
don't dip the beam put it up and dazzle the on coming traffic, nothing like making your presence felt.
-
politicians can and do change the rules without due consideration to time issues. For example if the tories get in I will, if I live long enough ( just over 6 years time) have to wait one year longer to draw my old age pension, that will cost me £5000 or so. Life unfortunately is not fair.

hido what all foreigners driving lhd cars have done for years.

HiI thought it was a mr brown who removed the indexing for these countries when he was chancellor, I might be wrong. My wife and I would like to end our days in nz, we will have to accept that we will not receive any further index linking of our pensions. What is worse is the effect of currency fluctuations the current value of the pound against the nz and os dollar is horrific. The world view of sterling is very negative.

He's a bit brazen using the same pseudonym, that forum is a bit milder than this one, if he resorts to his former self it will be like a hungry fox in a chicken run. Someone should post a warning. Must get back to my plumbing.

Chancer, a nounours is posting on total france forum http://www.totalfrance.com/france/forum/viewtopic.php?t=82971could it be ron?
-
Talking about ron, where is he? Nounours hasn't been active since late feb.

I still maintain the best course of action is to move on. I would always get the heavy boys round before going to law.
