Not much competition for them around here. My Fz6 is from CMC but the one in Wales. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I’m surprised you are allowed a motorcycle in the retirement compound. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only allowed to have one in there I think! Sounds like some sort of geriatric Borstal to me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you say @Tym? Never say never. Having visited a hell of a lot of them district nursing it totally changed my view. There are horrible ones that smell of cabbage and disinfectant and the occupants are dribblers but there are some amazing ones like a hotel where the staff will literally do anything for you, drive you about, provide entertainment, cook your meals, do the dull housekeeping tasks, broke your wrist? No problem Jeeves will even wipe your arse for you. You can join in or you can keep to yourself in your suite. Personally if I become infirm I can't think of a more pleasant place to be doddery. They suffer from a bad wrap and people view them with fear because they think they'll lose their autonomy, they see it as a failure, the reality is far different. It is however a move thats best researched and made before you have to. Someone who has a fractured neck of femur and is discharged straight to a care home they didn't choose will not be happy. Best to get ahead of it and pick out what you want and before you need it and hope you never do! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 It was a bugger taking the wheelchair on holidays to Majorca, security at East Midlands airport seemed to have a suspicion that the wheelchair frame was full of contraband, take the armrests off, remove the wheels, ffs Worse at Palma, Juan dropped the wheelchair from the loading hatch onto the tarmac, bent wheel, and broken armrest, bastids. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
