Its the bike- its complicated

We want out, but this town is not finished with us quite yet. When i was back there, i wanted to be here, now i'm here, i wish i was there.
The beemer has compromised its starter- the magnets inside the casing have all come adrift. Thank God for Brian. He's the local expert on Ducati, Moto Guzzi and BMW. He regards our 94 model as a young pup and is rather reluctant to have a fiddle with it.
Further, his work rate on it could be measured with a sun dial. He loves a yarn, and I am naturally a little keen to join in. Two days have passed for the grand total of one tyre changed, the errant starter removed and nothing else. We've put back our departure date twice already. Monday is looking more likely.
