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...

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,

Bonjour Ca va?

(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

Welcome to the club.

And what better way than to meet some of us at the Christmas beano.

I know its a bit of a trek from Bristol but a couple of others are coming.

More than welcome.

Cheers
Stuart
