Yay - 32 quid return, going out Saturday morning, coming back Sunday afternoon...

Actually, that's only because I leave Saturday and can get thereally cheap shopping-type ticket that way. One to keep in mind, they seem to start at around a tenner each way if you book early enough. Only problem is that I got on the 7:20 as that was the only train they had tickets left for, so I won't be in Chimay before mid-day. >> Now all I need is a bike with a key. > > If you unbolt the ignition switch, they're very easy to hot-wire. Ah. Dodgy geezers'r'us I *would* prefer to have a bike I can turn offwith the normal implements, though. -- Morini Corsaro 125 | CB450 K4 | XL250 Motosport x2 | 900SSD | VFR750 Triumph T-Bird chop | K1100LT | CB400 Four BOTAFOF #33 The UKRMC FAQ: http://www.unixconsult.co.uk/bike/ukrmcfaq.html |

The 'leave' bit is why I'm leaving Saturday instead of going out on Friday but I think I need a day or two away from everything so I'm going.

Yet another year and yet another failed Chimay plan, still, there's always next year... Have to say that this year it's not all my fault - I didn't ask to have to spend out god-knows-what in order that I can tender for (and not necessarily get) the job I already do. Bloody red tape.

I still haven't found the bloody key for the 400/4 so I may have to use another bike. Bugger. And no, I'm not turning up at the Eurotunnel terminal with a hotwired bike, in the wrong colour (according to the V5), given the way they tend to 'examine' my bikes every time I try to get out or back into the country. -- Morini Corsaro 125 | CB450 K4 | XL250 Motosport x2 | 900SSD | VFR750 Triumph T-Bird chop | K1100LT | CB400 Four BOTAFOF #33 The UKRMC FAQ: http://www.unixconsult.co.uk/bike/ukrmcfaq.html |
