Little Blue Dog looking into the garden square from the apartment in Budapest, 21 Nov 2019.
I had some concerns about coolant, setting off in the morning. Only becuase, on the previous night, steam had been billowing from the engine while I road through commuter traffic in pouring rain. I the morning I checked the coolant, could see nothing and added fluids. Which immediately appeared under the bike. This concerned me a little. The bike also did not seem to be indicating a warming engine as it usually does. I decided to detour to a Honda dealership a few miles outside of the town centre. If the bike was fine when I arrived, no harm done. If not, I was in the right place. As it happens the bike was fine, and my concerns unwarranted. Something of a relief, but I should trust this bike after so many years of reliable performance. Budapest, 21 Nov 2019.
Arrived safely at the Hondad Dealership. Stopped for a moment and then pushed on. Rapidly learned that no one stops for an amber flashing light, and that my stopping capacity is better than the small trucks darting around the town. But they are agile, and quick witted, thankfully.
