There's a lot of cheap places over here, but the cost of doing them up is pretty steep. A lot of Brits look at them as investments, but often get their fingers burnt, as house prices don't rise the same as in the UK. Our place is 30 ish years old and when we bought it we got a summary of how much it cost new and how much it's changed hands for since then. We paid pretty much what it cost new 30 years ago!

Riding his HOG!

I actually just parked up for a pee break, but the sky caught my eye so thought I'd take a pic (obviously not of me taking a pee!).

I'll just leave this here!

Honda, Yamaha, Triumph, Suzuki, BMW, Puch! I'm officially a lightweight!

Just been to the boulangerie for today's bread. Lovely!

Phew.....thank god this isn't a large group!

I played squash until about 2 years ago, so that buggered my knees up, but I find that walking really helps them. Walking has far less impact on the knees than jogging or running. Cycling has even less impact on them.

Funnily enough, my missus remarked today when we were about halfway round the loop, that when we did that walk when we first arrived here it took a lot more effort than it does now.

Because I would like to be still fit enough to ride a bike if I reach 80 years old, Pete!

Just like smallpox?

No bike action today, but a bit of walking instead. It was sunny, but the wind was pretty keen!

Those things are fetching serious money now! I guess because they're pretty rare?

That's the price that they're going for around here, Pete........unless they're real sheds!

The reviews that I've seen for it are all pretty good, but it's overpriced and a 3000 miles service interval? Most reviews say that it's got a Chinese engine, "but don't let that put you off" "oh, and it needs servicing every 3000 miles". Hmmmm?, I think that alone tells me enough about the engine! Shame, as it's a good looking bike.

BMW F750GS or a Puch Maxi?
