They were unable to help me as they didn't have the parts or the time to do it. So I asked Ölle if I could come up to his place and then at least the bike is there as I fly out of Gothenburg on Friday and then can have three days to sort it out and he was fine with that.
So I packed and folded all my laundry which is all up to date, what a relief to have everything clean. Loaded my bike and waited for Henrietta to return with her friend so I could get a jump start. Was able to make a quick call to Charmain and then Justin called, he is in Japan and wished me for Father's Day, funny how when it's Mother's Day that she gets all the nice gifts and I get didly squat, but you never know, it may be in the post.
I thought I would just try start it for shits and giggles and by gad it started, so go figure. So off I set to Sweden, in the wrong direction at first but turned around after about 15 km's and went in the tunnel and over the Øresund Bridge into Sweden at Malmo.
Was able to get to Gothenburg without switching off the engine, except it stalled at a circle and luckily it fired back up again. Luckily I have a spare key and was able to open the tank with it and get Benson, otherwise I would have been screwed.
I met Ölle in Romania last year at a Horizon's Unlimited meet up and he invited me to his place and here I am. We had a nice meal and beer outside on the deck and the sun was even shining with blue skies and no rain.
