Not a drop of rain till we got back to Portsmouth whereupon the heavens opened. No period of unmarriedness with bike or Amanda (well almost in the case of the latter
) Fitted the bike with 4 new plugs and a new rear conti, ran with the existing front M3. Used 1.4litre 10 w 40 mineral although I suspect she was low on setting off. Big thumbs up for Spain and Portugal (inexpensive thought we) thanks to Chris (wingapedia) for his helpful suggestions and others who replied to my earlier post.
Note to self... sign up to TelePeage for next Europe run.
