Gunner Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Does anyone know of any biker meeting points in the Charente Maritime ? We moved from Surrey where Box Hill was our Sunday morning meeting point and am now really missing a coffee and a chat with like minded people. If not would anyone be interested to meet up sometime during the summer for a good chat about how fantastic the riding is over here compared to England ?

naps Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Is it safe to presume that when you say 'bikers' you're not referring to pedal power? My OH has a Kawazaki 600 and we'll be moving to the region in the coming months and looking for someone mates with motorbikes. It's never as much fun alone.

Gunner Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Pedal power, what's that?! Who would want to pedal when you can have an engine! I have a Kawazaki ZZR 1100 and the missus has a Suzuki 400, although she is too scared to ride it! She's no fun. I need some proper biker company.

Kittycat Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Gunner,Where in the Charente Maritime are you exactly? We're in Deux Sèvres and my OH is keen to meet other bikers not too far away. He has a VFR 750, sadly underused at present... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 We are near to Saint-Jean-D'Angely. Whereabouts are you? I am sure it would be feasible to meet half way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittycat Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 We're just north of Melle; Saint-Jean-D'Angely is about 45 minutes away (by car) if I remember correctly. The last time we went there, we found a pineau and cognac tasting establishment so my recollection may be slightly inaccurate.Why don't you drop us a private message and we can make a plan....?

The brakes have siezed and the oil delivery man curses and has to clamber over it to get to the tank everytime we have a delivery as I can't shift the b*****y thing!!Partner says he's going to restore it when the house is finished. Yeah, and pigs will fly........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
