Thanks. Yes it’s happy memories. We went to northern France every year with Honda Owners Club. Was variety of scenery, war graves and monuments etc, lovely local villages and nice coastal places. My late husband had bought small motorcycle when doing national service and was stuck 50 miles from home with no public transport to get home weekends. He used money he’d saved from doing paper round to buy small second hand motorcycle, I was there when delivered off back of van. Driver gave him key and said off you go lad, no training! I soon went on back after he passed test and we went motorbiking until our daughter was born. When we were approaching 60 (Geoff was day older than me) he came home one day and said friend at work was selling a medium size bike, and we decided would make nice birthday present. He went out on his own few times, and then I went on back. The years just flew away!! Its safer to have proper leather riding gear, and bought the multicoloured suite in sale. Happy memories xx

Andouleme?

[Morrison10 in reply to Timberman]

can’t remember sorry! We lead some of the rides, went to lots of places, some of favourites were Saint Malo, and Mount Saint Michel.

[Timberman in reply to Morrison10]

Aha! St Malo I reckon - I chose Anglouleme since it has an historic veteran race around its walls and you were/are a biker.

[Morrison10 in reply to Timberman]

Yes was biker, gave up riding mine about 12 years ago, rode pillion on my late husbands Blackbird until he died in 2017 because NHS slow to properly treat his prostate cancer because his PSA readings always very low. Took VFR to Jerez with lot of race bikes, loaded onto big trucks, they went by road and we flew out there for when they arrived. Probably only VFR to ever move on that race course! We spent week riding all round that area, happy memories. Jean
