100 days with Henry
Sad sad day indeed.
My time in England has come to an end and I have to say goodbye to Henry. What a superstar he has been! What an absolute trooper to carry my carcass around Europe for 3 months with barely a hiccup.
People ask why I don't get a "real" bike. They seem to think I am just making do with a scooter until I can afford a motorbike. They don't understand that ...
Ace Cafe
Met up once again with Ian from Bike Club France and we went to the Ace Cafe.
This place is an institution with British bikers - built in 1938, it was bombed during the war and then rebuilt during peacetime. It was huge with the Mods and Rockers during the sixties and the place it full of photos and information from that era.

Hiccups
Silly little hiccups - not serious - just enough to P you off and ruin an otherwise good day.
Let's start with me not getting a message saying my friends would pick me up at the airport.
The "instant" message eventually appeared two days later.
This meant that my trouble-free journey from Paris to airport; my efficient drop-off of The Slug; smooth check-in and excellent flight, were completely ruined by me attempting to get a train to East ...
