Take a ride with me.....

Here I am on the ETZ 250 that I bought back in May (I think this year).

Think that you will agree that it is running well.

Great fun.

Have a great 2017.

i can see that a ride by me in the UK would be a bit of a twist in the knickers
you could spot my bike i would have a big arrow up by the speedo pointing
LEFT
riding on the right side for 63 years would make it a bit of an ass tightener
to take one for a spin over there

Indeed David.

I went accross to Belgium some years ago - took my late Dad over to visit the grave of one of our ancestors who was killed during world war 1, that meant driving on the Right side.

Jeeeez, was I gald to get back to England.

I dont think I could ever get used to driving on he Right side of the road - similarly arse clenching when I watch some of the stuff on You Tube.

Interestingly, being on the correct side of the car helps for a start..

I drive an American 1980 Buick LeSabre, which is obviously left hand drive and it can be a bit of toll to drive around in, in the UK unless you're on the motorway. But I recently went to France and Belgium in it (covered 1k miles total during those 3 days) and driving it on the right hand side of the road felt so much better...


Although I am happy and have covered many thousands of miles driving my Peugeot 205 around and outside of Europe (Serbia and even Ukraine), I actually like driving my right hand drive car in europe, and even more so my Left hand drive. But I don't like driving my left hand drive in the UK so much.. Feels a bit strange/awkward, even after covering several thousand miles in it this year.



As for the video!!! Nice going!! I wish mine ran so well.. Though I don't think my handlebars shake whilst on the road as much as yours..

Enjoyed that thanks.
I've had a spot in France for 11 years so am just about used to the change when I go over there.

Enjoyed that thanks.

Glad you enjoyed it - very pleased with the bike given the state it was in when I bought it.

This one is a keeper........

I adapt very quickly when driving on the continent, but oddly enough my problem comes about a week after I get home. I will be riding down a nice twisty road in the country, straightening out the bends as you do, and suddenly I will forget which side of the road I'm actually meant to be on! Happens almost every time. Odd thing the human brain ( well mine is anyway!)

[DAVID THOMPSON]

SO the brain malfunction does not KILL YOU
put a yellow arrow on the dash pointed to the proper side for where you are riding

make it so if you go to France it can be flipped OVER
