Sunday, October 13, 1985

First thing in the morning was a visit to the bakkery shop for fresh bread and after breakfast, Paul and I went to church in Larochette.

When the church service was over, they served coffee and tea at the church. Before we went back to the camping, we gave our bikes something (petrol) to drink too. (the petrol was f 1.50 / liter).
We took the long way back to the camping, via Schrondweiler and Nommern.

Back in the mobil home, it was coffee time so we drank another cup of coffee and then we got on the bikes again to visit the castle of Larochette.
Anneke and Paul got there on Paul his Honda and Erika, Sjoerd and I on my BMW R100/5.


Postcard of the castle (chateau) of larochette

The castle looked better then the pictures on the postcard because they are restoring it now but it is a work in progress.

In the afternoon, Anneke went to another church in Wormeldange and we had a lasy sunday afternoon.

We got up at 8 AM and at 10 AM we went to the restaurant on the camping for a coffee before we left for our trip back home.

Via Bastogne and Marche we went to Wavre and just before Wavre, we filled our tanks again and had a nice Spagetti Bolognaise lunch.
My BMW ran a little raw so I cleaned the sparkplugs but unfortunately that did not solve the problem..

With a bad running engine we continued our trip home and at four o'clock PM, we parked the BMW and the Honda in my garage.

The odometer reading was 14781 when we left home. It is 15919 now so this trip was 1138 km.

Together with Paul and my brother-in-law Jan, we tuned the BMW. We mounted the old ignition points from the R60/5 engine and tuned the ignition with a strobe light and now the engine runs fine.
