Another newbie in Bristol
Hi,
I'm French and now live in Bristol. I have always had "old" bikes before, because I find their lines quite beautiful and always found (at least since the 90's) only one modern bike as attractive as the vintage ones, the Monster of course. So I bought a M600 2 weeks ago, what a difference... In Paris I had a 1976 Honda 400 super sport, then I moved to California and bought a 1980 Yamaha XJ650; I loved it so much that when I moved to the UK 4 years ago I bought an XJ650 in Cornwall... Great bike, but it is now time for some "modernity" (mine is from 2000). Woaow, what a difference... Anyhow, I'm just discovering a brand new world, and I'm quite happy about it. See you all on the road, sun, rain, wind or snow... Girlonbike |

Thanks SlowLearner and Giler !
Also, if anyone around Bristol has feedback on mechanics/garages good (or bad, better to know it before...) with Ducatis ? Merci, Girlonbike |

(That's all the French I know  )I'm just down the road in Bath and 99.99% of owners around here will tell you to see Louigi Moto just south of Bristol. Welcome
