Starting a new life with motorcycles - New website launched!

[RideLimousin]

Hi all,

Me and the girlfriend have been working in boring office jobs for the last ten years now, (me in IT and the other half in accounts) and have decided a change of life was in need.

We have quit our well paid but boring jobs, sold our house in London and bought a big house in the French countryside with all our life savings.

We plan to convert the house so we can offer accomadation for bikers and offer tours out on the twisties and maybe even green laning tours eventually.

I have set up a blog to show the progress of our project, there is a lot to be done including major building work that involves converting the huge loft into a clubroom for a group of bikers, ensuite bathrooms to be installed and a lot more.

IF you are interested here is the link to the blog:

Where abouts in the Limousin region are you?

Cheers

We are in the Creuse, just outside the town La Souterraine.

This area is meant to be the off road capital of France, we have been out walking the dog near our house and come across green lanes all over the place

And our bank manager here told us his son races enduro and gave us a huge list of all the enduros in the area that take place.

A big change from London where I had to ride up the motorway for an hour on my XR250 to get to the nearest lanes.

Awesome. Bookmarked. Look forward to seeing it complete, and if I'm ever down that way again I'll be sure to see what's available!

Very interested in this. Be sure to let us know when you are up and running. You could even start taking e mail and names of interested people now and keeping a database. Give everyone who has shown interest an e mail when you are open.

Good luck and fingers crossed for you both.
