I'll love to take you up on that if I'm ever passing by your way @biggs682! Don't know what's in your stable at the moment but there are loads of gorgeous bikes you've posted up on here.

May l return the invitation Mr Biggs, and say that if you find yourself in SW France more specifically the Lot, you would be welcome if you called in for a glass or two in return for your opinion on my growing collection of Italians.
