Sue Smith Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 A close friend is 60 in August. Would love to organise a Harley Davidson/ Jaguar "experience" as a present. Have "googled" and come up with nothing. Can you help?Many thanks,Sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 In the Uk you could look at http://www.red-letter-days-online.co.uk/review/shopping/redletterdaysI'm sorry I have no idea about France, how about askling Coops - she is into motor 'stuff' I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Well, it just so happens....http://events.oreca.fr/newsletter/stage_precision_08/precision08.htmOreca do loads of these, mostly Dijon based. Or you can drive round the Bugatti Circuit at Le Mans in a Ford GT/Lambo, you name it. It depends where you are, really, but if I were a sports car enthusiast (as if...) I'd pick LM for its history.For bikes, I'd ask Mr S Driver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Smith Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi Russethouse and Cooperlola,Many thanks for the info. Dijon is certainly nearer to us BUT, not being a bike/car person, feel I ought to stick with his Harley/Jaguar dream. I'm glad to see that this sort of thing is available in France as we have lots of friends who would love a gift of this sort. Personally, I'd prefer a couple of books and a bottle of wine, never having been the adventurous sort!Thanks again for the help,Sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Always one for the easy option : the common denominator is speed ! Therefore I would pick one of Coops suggestions.....[:)](and save the energy you may have put into finding Jag or HD alternatives, to a home cooked slap up meal...... [:)][:)])Always remember KISS[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Try 'Louer Harley Davidson' in Google.fr with sites set to France. Second and third pages seem OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 If someone gave me a Hardly Davison experience, I would think that they don't like me! Everyone to their own I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the new ones even have brakes now [:D](sadly mine didn't)!

Bob T Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Why not organise a microlight flight instead. My wife was 60 the other day so we went flying and she enjoyed it, mind you she normally rides around on her 1100cc BMW motorbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
