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
