Chimay

Adie was responsible for the planning.

We've just spent money and now it'll be forgotten for a few months.

We didn't.

Where do cobbled streets enter the equation?

 

Is she talking about vibration *again*?

 

Strangely, I thought it might be a reference to your origins.

 

I'll go. Planning will be the night before I expect.

 

You recently said the Hull ferry was too expensive to use?

And even the Fairy missed you.

Tch.

 

well, I'll know by the end of May whether I have a job or not, so I'll
leave the planning until then.

 

Nope, we got to Maubeuge on the Friday last time.

Speed Trap, Hotel, Bar, Strong Belgian Beer - remember ?

 

And Biblical rain on the way to Dover. Never forget the rain. Oh, and
seeing Hog peeling onto the motorway up ahead, on his Ducati, and
trying to catch him on the 400 Four despite a 60mph speed
disadvantage. When you want to catch someone in heavy traffic, engage
Ride Like A Twat mode.

I suppose I'll take the 400 again, though I have a yen to take the
SL125 and get there, er, slowly.

 

</Di mode>
Look, someone waving like a Spastic and weaving all over the road

That was for me using it to get to that rally in Slovenia, or wherever
it was.

For getting me and her to Chimay, it should work out as the most
practical option.

 

Hmm. If I go, and it's a maybe, then there's only one bike in my stable
old enough to justify use. Only question is, am I stupid enough to use
it for a continental trip?

 

easily.

 

Fragile, uncomfortable and currently managing 82 miles and a third of a
bottle of oil to reserve.

Sounds like an ideal intercontinental tourer.

 

Nobody cares.

If you're stupid enough to ask...

 

I think she found there was too much competition ;~)

 

so only a couple of fuel stops between Calais and Chimay - no problem.

 

That's not much less than I seem to get out of the Monster when I use it
for commuting. (Petrol, that is, not the oil.)

Sure it is.

Luggage is going to be the problem for us.

 

I dunno, other than a slight chance of throwovers getting close to the
upper exhaust, it should be no worse than the 7R was. I might have to
sort the iffy starting out before then though.

 

it's luxury - my R30 would do about 65 miles to reserve when ridden at
motorway speeds continuously.

I managed to get a tent, sleeping bag and a rucksack with c/o clothes
onto the back of a 400/four - don't be such a poof.
