Yes really. Here's a really bad pic of it - sorry I don't have a great digital camera but, you get the idea.

Cash from Mum and Dad = New spedo cable for me, which broke on Christmas eve 2.6 km's south of Bombay heading to Paeroa.

Been interesting tearing around since then, not knowing my speed.

Got the book "Long Way Round",great read did it in a couple of days-worth of spare hours(fast reader).Also got myself a really cheap CRM250 from a bike dealer off of Ebay,trouble is it was such a bargain it seems extremely likely that the bastard is trying to wriggle out of the deal,every time I phone him there`s a different excuse.Paid for it with plastic as in Britain at least(though not mainland Europe)the law says that whatever you buy on your credit card(though not debit card) is the responsibility of the Bank,so if he keeps pissing around I`ll go to them for a full refund and they can get their money from him.Dont want the money though,want the bike and am rapidly getting very pissed off.Part of me is pretty sure that he`ll come up with some crap about it being stolen or something and offer me all my money back,which will have tided him over very nicely over the holidays as virtually an interest-free loan.

I was supposed to be going south to look at a bike this week,but on Xmas Eve we gave ourselves one hell of a bigger present,my bike money will have to be held for a back up as all other money is gone,or will be soon,the bike will come a bit later....I hope.

Got a Fly MX helmet,and a very,very special book - Ralph Watson,Special Engineer....for those who may have heard the name,the man who built The Lycoming Special.

Everyone is going to know I'm there, I can tell you!

You're kidding! Thought you'd be savin them for the new bike in any case?

Well I have just got my late Xmas bike.

Since we got a regoed Yamaha Serow XT250 for my partner.(early Xmas pressie)

It was only fair that I got a new bike as well.
So I traded in the 00 KTM 520 EXC and Sal's 03 Kawasaki KLX 125 L for a
03 KTM 640 LC4.

So I can adventure ride and do general riding with her.
I did not like the idea of doing low speeds on the Guzzi, as the bike and I
do not do that very well.

So far I have not found the extra weight a problem and can't wait to take it
out for a good off road ride. Bash plate is on order and a fitment kit so I
can fit a spare set of Bark Busters I have.

Now I have to resist the temptation to Motard it.

So look out Dangerous next time you are in the hills.

Heres a pic of my new toy looks like.

And a cute little digital camera to take pics when out for rides!

I believe you are right, Moko!

My baby loves hairpin bends! ....not sure I do all the time...
Between Gudvangen (Nærøyfjorden) and Voss you find Stalheimskleivene; a wery bendy road! And I met a bus on my way up; I nearly wet my pants....
