Standstill..........

Nothing much is happening on the bike front at the moment. As usual the dreaded "working for a living" has gotten in the way again.
Still no news on my valves.

On a even more sadder note, a fellow "Geeper" owner, Noel, has for whatever reason decided he no longer can hang onto his large collection of 900's and has listed them on "Ebay".
Amongst various cries of "dont do it Noel" from the GPz fraternity, I feel as though something drastic has happened in his life to make him want to part with what we all know he is passionate about. Life goes on however and I hope whatever is happening in his life, he comes away from it for the better.

Rob...my mate who is riding with me across that big stretch of bitumen rang me today for an update chat.
He currently is sourcing some material for the radiator on his bike and getting a local metalworker to modify his rack on the back of his bike to carry the gear he is taking.We generally chatted about tyres, the weather when we are going across, flat tyres, sore butts and sheepskin seat covers, distances travelled and more sore butts. But both come to the conclusion that its all worth it.
Once I get my bike running again the plan is to meet up and do a 2 or 3 night stopover somewhere to test all the gear out prior to departing on the long ride across.

The planning continues............
