Dog Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 It may have something to do with France being quite poor after two world wars. They hang onto cars longer and often buy over seven years on hire purchase.It is strange how it has arisen but once in the system it negates itself.

Bugsy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Triumph used to run some special riding courses for the Rocket 111, but I'm not sure if they still do.And sensibly, it's not a first bike................................................[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keni Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 In my yoof as a RAC/ACU instructor and laterly an BMF one, i had a CB1100, too big for city driving and as female with shaped upholstery, tank and riding position was crap. Now in my more sedate ? years we are thinking when we get over there of a Bonneville. Does anyone know what the latest models are like to handle? Obviously we'll upgrade slowly, but haven't seen many Triumphs over in the Charente/Haute Vienne area.Any help please?Keni & Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keni Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Looking at your page three as I was, what about birds - do blokes like birds with their own choppers - no don't go there....If anyone is in the Rochechouart area, there is a group meeting in the centre on Sat-'s Moto Bapteme? Just in case anyone is looking.Keni & Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
