Didn’t need to fit extra keeps in the van, it uses the same keeps as the carerra but the pillar clip had to be positioned one inch further right than the Kalkhoffs rail because the handle bars on the Claud are much wider so, push the bike more to the center of the van.
Took Claud to the Golden Gate Bridge 
It was staring me in the face, I wanted simple bike satnav so bought an expensive bike computer (again), got some advice Komoot, straight to the phone, I don’t need to know how my body is performing, I just need to know where I am going (in real time, not philosophically) 
Took Claud to the windmill on my annual pilgrimage,
The Moho stank on my drive to the site on Friday, it was awful even with the windows open, what had happened was, when last away a couple of weeks ago, I thought I had emptied the grey waste water tank but when I connected up on Friday, five or so gallons came gushing out, a liberal dose of lemon zoflora down the sinks and shower wastes soon sorted it out
Makes you feel warm and pilgrimaged all over.
all over where ???
Claud is a fine piece of engineering. all over!
Back in the day, 70s etc, pensioners had one option for mobility, an invalid carriage
Now they can have a Claud
If they can get their leg over 
looks a bit girlie that one.
Well, if yer goin to get yer leg over, it better off being a girlie
Just got back from an hour and half cycle over all terrains and 79% battery left
Beamer roof man was here for four and a half hours, job done.
Sports seats of to the trimmers on Friday.
Next paint work restoration not respray, not sure how much I will get to drive it afteral this stuff
Got to fit the new fuel filter to the Beamer this week, it is located right in the middle under the car, there are two pieces of fuel tubing either side of the filter to be replaced at the same time, these are each about 3cms long, but to get 6cms you need to buy a metre, BMW will charge you £48.00 for a metre, a metre can be bought on Ebay for £12.00, the biggest surprise of all is a metre can be bought from Halfords for £3.60 which I’ve done.
Just looked at the invoice for fitting the new soft top, the invoice total was £500.00 of which £83.00
was VAT leaving £417.00 actual earnings. The guy was here for 4.5 hours, and, travelling from Stockport to here was 1.5 hours each way so, that gave him 7.5 hours away for his workshop, £417 divided by 7.5 hours is a very reasonable £55.60 per hour for the services of a professional person. I am guessing he only does this mobile work when he has a bit of downtime at the actual workshop
Claudette and the standard Carerra loaded, son and I off to Stratford Upon Avon tomorrow, yer just don’t do illegal in Shakespeare’s backyard.
Take a spare pound of flesh just in case.
