As it seemed cheaper to get my new Giant loop tank bag delivered to a Freind in the states, I thought it was a great idea!
But now having taken into account the flight, hotel, car hire, and food and drink all needed to collect it, I think it may well be the most expensive tank bag ever. No complete calculation yet.
Any am please as pinch with it, small yet perfectly formed, strong yet light and apprantley fully water proof without the need for a cover.( that will be tested soon)
Anyway a picture for you all.
Managed to get to a massive camping shop as well today, not enough time to buy but heading back there later next week and have my eyes on a number of things!!! Update separately!!!
Anyway back to my beer and sea world now, non stop!!!
This is the story of 2 friends taking a month out of life to do something we love but with a difference. The plan was to ride somewhere that would offer us a challenge, some danger, and to take us out of our comfort zone!! before we get to old, hence the name. Although the final destination has not been agreed, we will head from a starting point in Herne Bay through Spain in to Morocco and on towards Mauritania (possibly touching on Algeria).

It's a tough job!!
While my Freind is trying as hard as he can to copy me, I am yet again working hard.
I have has to fly to Florida to practice some sand driving, Daytona beach and in a 4 x 4, but sand driving all the same. I have also had to spend some time lying by the pool topping up my tan so as not to burn.
Just off to look at camping shops and motorbike outlook stores to finish buying equipment.
The hardship never ends.

The Bike i am taking!!!!
So here it is........
Yes a Yamaha Tenere 660.
I collected the Tenere 660 last weekend (suffering from a severe hangover) , and have finally had my first proper look at it today. Plenty of Touratech protection items , HID and fog light , Headlight protector , wide footrests etc.
