Stress over!

Ok , after a very stressful weekend involving a return trip to Hemel Hempstead (The KTM Centre) and a journey to Farnborough (Infinity) , a journey totalling over 450 miles , i have finally purchased new Adventure clothing and Boots .(Decided I cannot put up with getting wet in current gear any longer so it was time to spend ....Again)
Klim Badlands Jacket ,Rukka Arma s trousers and Sidi Goretex adventure boots.Special thanks to Mark @ The KTM Centre , Hemel Hempstead for his patience (and his coffee) Highly recommend a visit to Mark and Jason if you are in the market for a New or Used KTM .

The most expensive tank bag in the world!!

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!!!


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.
