  7. Welcome. I'm older than you and have enjoyed my 1200S since they come off the production line. So will you. Keeps you young. :)

  10. Stuff "pensioner"! Age is what you have, not what you are! The French have it right in this instance.
    Welcome to one of the best (if not THE best) bike forums around.

  13. Thank you all for your welcome. I did forget to say that I'm in the Limousin, about 15 mins from the border with Dordogne. Anyone who's passing is welcome to bring a bottle :)

  14. And we are not far south of you. Anyone who is passing us shares a bottle that we supply!
    I am also retired, but have been for 10 years now, since I was 46.

  15. And yet another old git, 70 in January, but still enjoying my bikes. Just sold my Honda Blackbird and the Tiger 800. This year brought a Triumph Bonnie to go with my 916 and my VFR

  16. Limousin is a nice, underrated part of France. Empty roads. Lovely gentle countryside.
