Things started off fine for a last min thing !!!!
The Meteo gave a 33�c reading for today so was in two minds weather to go or not , anyway by 9.45am i was on the road heading northish !!!
No plan just wiggle , stayed of themain drags and ended up in Collonges-la_Rouge
Only one pic but all the buildings here are this colour
When i gotback to the Tener Lady these 2 guys pulled up
They left the Vendee over a week ago and are just ambleing about
Hat off to them
Silvest, on his 1965 blue MBK
and Claude on the red 1980 Peugeot
All the camping gear and loving the head light
Claude was playing the part of fuel carrier
Gas on the left and 2 stroke on the right
I asked them where they were heading and the answer was " don't know!! maybe Paris"
Great guys on a real adventure
This is when it all went TITS UP !!!!
Jumped on the TL and noticed this mankie noise !!! rode for about 10 klicks slowly trying to figure out where it was coming from.
Found it REAL TIGHT SPOT IN THE CHAIN, ****** !!!!!
Had a quick look and reckonedi was about 70 klicks from home so had a steady bimmble home.
Got the TL on the stand to get the chain of and as usual with me got distracted and started on getting rid of one of my biggest bug bears
!!!!!! the kick stand switch !!!!
Off it comes
Chased the wire back and uncoupled
Now to join, i used a spade fitting
Not the best pic but you get the idea
Zipped the switch up and found a place under the seat (just in case)
Lifted this fuse
Nice little hole
Out of site but safe
Taped the spade end up and refitted the rubber
Left the front sprocket cove off , i like to see it and it's easier to clean !! Anyway i gave up wearing flares years ago
So now the TL sat waiting for a new chain
Mind you the the old chains soaking in thinners and oil as i'm a
TIGHT BARSTEWARD
