    Worryingly, that's what I had planned, aiming to be at Chimay for
    lunch at the Auberge du Potaupré and a stopoff at the supermarket for
    a few bottles of Rouge, Bleu and Trippel.

    Looking like we'll end up in Givet[1]. I reckon I'll attempt to purchase
    some beans while I'm there...

    This just gets better and better :eek:) I'm sure I know of one other
    person who would be up for it, too.

    Will we get lots of opportunity to look at nice countryside with the
    option of photos and stuff for the really interesting bits?

    That's become our habitual stopping off place for the last night of
    the holiday - heading homewards towards the Amsterdam ferry to
    Newcastle. A bed at the Val St Hilaire - Auberge de la Tour - dinner
    on the terrace by the river. Perfick.

    Fucknoe. With Sarah on the back goading me on, I'll be absolutely racking
    it through the bends, knee down all the way, back tyre looking like a
    boil-washed wooly jumper by lunchtime. As I'm sure you can imagine.

    I'll tag along with you, then. Prolly be on a Honda V4, as it happens,
    given the rate at which the Evil Twin is leaking Magic Smoke...

    Nice town, it is.

    The petrol station by the river does a decent coffee, too.

    What conveyance are you dragging the poor woman around on? (in?)

    Supposedly, the R80RT, but the wholly and entirely mechanical problem that
    had it off the road seems to have done something indecipherable to the
    electrics. So I may end up advantaging myself of Statto's more than
    generous offer of the loan of his VFR.

    Oh, come on. You didn't really think Sarah would have subjected herself to
    the indignity of an asymmetric conveyance?

    I was going to make a reference to your face here, but thought better
    of it.

    Some bit work. Then I plug in the starter relay and the Magic Smoke starts
    escaping. This particular sacrament also works with the newly-purchased
    starter relay.

    I was referring, in a roundabout way, to the fragility of the R/R on
    VFRs. So, if the Evil Twin is having Magic Smoke issues, then I want
    to cover the likely bases for the Shite Old Viffer.

    Also, what luggage will Sir require? Top box and panniers, or just
    panniers?
