Bonsoir Badaboum ... and welcome !
This is a great forum and I am sure you will enjoy it !
Where are you in France ? ( or are you now UK based ? ) ... I am learning / going back to school with my French after 30 years just to brush up and try conversational French etc ... I won't embarrass myself by trying it on you !
How old is your GTR, any photos ?

Welcome Badaboum, hope you enjoy the place and stay a long while.
I would love to learn french properly. I know very little but I get by when in the land of the great hills and twisty roads!
I should really go to night school like Rusty but I never seem to get there!!
My old man has a place in Gouzon near Limoges, where we will be descending in approx 8 weeks after a little trip Via.....
Chalons en Champagne, Besancon, Gap, where we will be taking in Le Tour for a couple of days.

Some of my favourite holidays have been in France, one of the most memorable was staying near the Gorges du Verdon, a great area! The lake is like being by the sea! And if sea is what you want you can have a great ride to Nice on some of the greatest roads since Napoleons time  :D
Best shoot, got to work  :-\

I thought everyone knew "voulez vous allez se couche avec moi". Something we should say to all the lovely french ladies. We'd probably get a slap in the face, but hey, if you don't try ...

i was avoiding that one...track record not good in any other language, so don't think French should be any different ::)

Firstly welcome to the site.

I was reading an article some time ago that mentioned that it was going to be mandatory for all motorcyclists in France to wear reflective clothing on bikes above 125cc do you know if this is going to become law?

There was also mention of massive increases in the on the spot fines for speeding and the possibilty of prison for going 50km/hr above the limit

As a Lancastrian living in Yorkshire I have to admit that not only am I unable to speak French, but some people would suggest that I cant speak English either. Any way welcome to the forum and enjoy.  cheers Geoff. ;D

Thanks all for your warm welcomes..

I am sorry for beeing late on replies but I was off for one week in.....the UK :-))))

Gloucester to be more precise...

THanks again, and don't be affraid, I am not gonna use to much french word in here..

Just several points I would like to clarify :

1) Yes you play better football than us
2) But we play better rugby than you
3) Our girls are sexier
4) Yes ridding a bike in France is more & more difficult because of those stupid laws (such as all bike blocked a 100CV, reflective vest on its ways etc etc)

cheers mate
