Gerontious

No adjustment since the first running in service. Though I am careful with lubing. (Gear oil)

I will only miss the shaft on my old BMW when it comes time to replace the chain and sprockets on the Africa Twin. I’m guessing it will cost a tad more than the £10 oil and crushwasher change on the Beemer.

French style….

If you don’t mind them made from bread or pastry. Yes.

Oiled the chain after a ride to a Boulangerie and now about to ride to the summit of Mont Ventoux spotted a nice little death trap….

First one I’ve ever seen not the best photos, but it is what it is.

Still closed…. (Sigh) maybe one day…..

Good morning from the south of France another fine day in store. Probably stay here until Friday morning. And then start for home.

sorted now and just filled a gap in gap. Off to the Vercors now. Spotted a treasure in the repairers front yard. R90S

Oh dear. Electrics on a 30yr old bike!!

Good morning from north west Italy in the mountains west of Turin. After battling 37c heat yesterday we are heading over the Alps later in search of free beer and balcony roads.

mine is just below my line of sight, I shudder at the idea of having it placed below the instruments or over by the mirror stem!!

Panic stop…. And much excitement. Me? It’s just a car….

What on earth. All set to go today. Looked at the webcam an 100s of fire engines. More than I’ve ever seen in my life!! Quick search online and… what? what are they doing? Setting fire to the restaurant and seeing who can put it out first before the curtains get singed? this is too bizarre. we have to go… just to admire the madness.

It was ever so nice. Currently at an Aldi in Brixen which is like no Aldi I’ve ever seen in my life. 2 floors with the flat escalator down and up. Leaving Paul to do the shopping (there’s just so much pizza I can take. Though today I slummed it with venison. Nice day. Popped into Austria to ride the staller pass and Pustertaler. Moving to Zell on Sunday to try for the Glockner.

Good Afternoon, we’re going native!!

lay-bys aren’t really much to talk about up here at 1285m

Never forget your towel!!

For gods sake… some of the answers on this thread had us rolling around laughing. We are currently in the Dolomites having crossed France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Austria. first. The Uk sticker thing is a uk rule, the Europeans don’t care. We have seen more GB plates than UK by at least a 10/1 ratio. The only reason to change to UK is to keep the northern Irish happy. An NI sticker is allowed but ENG. CYM. SCO. And GB have been banned by this shower of Tory chancers. buy a crossing on the day and you will pay top price. Buy online. only covid requirement is the Nhs app. V5 original. Insurance certificate. Passport that’s it. UK has brought out a Global health card. Which isn’t “Global” at all. It’s EU and allied countries only. Another Con. bring some face masks as you might have to wear them in some very limited circumstances. we got travel insurance from Navigator as they are fine with big bikes. Roadside rescue from ETA. and that’s about it.

Cliches are a thing.

This is what every petrol station needs….

Good morning. Lazy start to the day after recent efforts. Here is where I am and this is my morning view.

Right at this moment, suffering from heat exhaustion. Saw 30c today. Didn’t quite make it to Austria. Currently in the Algau. Not far from Fussen. Crossing into Austria tomorrow and then into Italy.

Beautiful start to the day here in Kent. Breakfast first and then down to the Tunnel!!
