Sofia and Pedro´s Portugal trip, 1st installment: The North
yen_powell replied to Sofia's topic in TOURING
Most splendiferous write up and pictures. -
Sofia and Pedro´s Portugal trip, 2nd installment: The Center
yen_powell replied to Sofia's topic in TOURING
That's finished reading the second part. Now to read part one, hope you make it to the beginning. I think you should write the history of the tower and chapel. -
Sofia and Pedro´s Portugal trip 3rd installment: The South
yen_powell replied to Sofia's topic in TOURING
Loving these, but being stupid I am reading part 3 first and now working my way through parts 2 and 1. I've saved that picture of Pedro and the large standing stone, it's got rude caption potential. -

I liked the original Randall and Hopkirk deceased, and also strangely, the remake by Reeves and Mortimer. -

Yeah, sorry, there are no pictures in the book. I can see it being made into a drama though. -

A book Pete might like is Who Sent Clement. Right up your street by Keith A Pearson. A bloke who died in the early 70s turns up to help a girl in modern Britain out when she is in trouble. He's still wearing the same clothes and doesn't even know himself how he got there. It was so good that I then read the two sequels and I believe there is a fourth out that I need to read. I think the best bit I enjoyed was when she takes him to a 70s theme night at the local pub. -

Spoiler alert, the Cardinal did it. Only kidding, not read it. -

I'm currently reading the Mondo Enduro book (got the dvd second hand as well last week), The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell (re-reading, about my 10th time) and finally trying to read The Perpetual Astonishment of Jonathan fairfax by Christopher Shevlin, but I am getting bored with that. I usually have a few books on the go and swap about. -
I think I used to undo the radiator bolts and wedge it away a little. Been a long time so not sure any more.

I've got a couple of the XRV OE spark plug sockets still. One rusted up badly through years in the bike tool kit, but they were very good for changing the 4 plugs on the AT, especially when teamed with a socket and ratchet. The pivoting part means you can almost remove a plug round a corner.

Odd, you should discuss this today. I tried to test my battery voltage today using the heated vest plug wired into it. The two terminals are a fraction of a millimetre apart so of course I managed to bridge it with my tester points and heard the snick of the fuse blowing. Stupid plug design! So I popped the cover off the electrics to change the fuse and whilst I was in that region I took out the Yamaha tool kit for the first ever time to chuck it in a drawer for safe keeping. It had a spark plug spanner, and I usually find the ones that come with the bikes are the best. It was really wedged behind all the wiring, glad I did it in daylight!

That's got me acclimatised for tomorrow's site visit to the Dinnegan boys to see how they've got on in the last few weeks without me. I shall now be able to understand them more easily.
