Not a bad write up matey! From a fellow who thought a decently worded post was two words transmorgifying into a bona fide adventure traveller writer! Well met! I still think you need to do a post up of the routes, lengths and googled pinpointed stops ... also a list of the costs would be most excellent (from air fares to overall fuel/accomodation etc). You've managed to do something a person your age wouldn't normally get around to doing! Nice preparation and having the opportunity/timing to take advantage of it. Good on ya! (And also for giving me a break from the usual shenanigans you get up to!)
If I didn't know you any better, you sound wistful here! Amazing you didn't trip up any international flags for being a WMD ...
Good to see you re-acclimatising to traffic! At least you didn't get the bash this time for the tiki touring!
All sounds very anticlimatic! Did you ever find out about the water?
Sounds like the usual infatuation you have with gadgets and accessories! Good to see you are having an inkling of what the advantages of getting up early can have!
Y'know, one of these days your general cavalier attitude will bite you in the arse! Oh, wait. Those days have already come and gone for you! Where's the smiley, which is a bitch slap needed! Glad you had a reliable bike to cart you through the appropriately named "Death Valley"
Good going, excellent start to your conditioning - thanks for sharing!
Good ride Koro. I've had 320 MILES outta a tank - I guess you grabbed one of those cheap new ST's huh? Great buying......
650km does not a GC make Still, you can't just run out and do 1600km, and being ride fit is certainly something that is required (I reckon we all get a bit fat and lazy during winter). Bit worrying about the 660 switching off tho... I've had it, but since it's out of warranty, I've narrowed it down to either a lack of space (try turning it back on, then clearing the trip log if it shuts off again?) or sometimes the route is very complex. So... about the space for a 2nd ST?
as above,i would say a trainning day at a track you cant go pass,also treat every one out there as an idiot and you will live longer,enjoy the ride
Sorry to hear. We know that riding a bike has the possibility to shorten our lives. But we make the decision to carry on riding as we know that even if life is cut short we have lived more than ones in cages.
then the open road is your oyster, touring this beaut country of ours is AWESOME !!!! Oh, good luck with your license test
Ahh the life and times of a hedonist, sorry to hear what a waste of time it was to hunt around for leather service - at least you got to move around a bit!
: Oh the laughing I have at your gormless lap dancing shenanigans! I think you had more fun with the two feather boa girls!
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas! Vive Vegas baby! Well you didn't do the expected thing, win and lose a fortune and get a quickie marriage. What sort of tourist are you?
Ahhh the ubiquitous lekky gremlin problems rears its head again! The only surprise really would be if all your gear worked as it was supposed to! But then you wouldn't be the gremlin I know and despise!

All the operators basically have the same price...
That's not very nice...
Oh how I guffawed at your awaking epiphany! That is proof of karma! :
So I take it the theme of this blog entry was Rainman ... you encountering rain and acting like the idiot savant you are (yes, unfortunately, you do have moments of genius, which serves to scare me even more). Great. A sociopathic biker with moments of genius. No wonder I shudder ...
