The rain is much needed and it gives me, on this last day of the winter holidays, a break from thinking that I should be outdoors, rather than indulging my latest obsessions: this site and Ewen and Charley's 'Long Way Round'...disc 1,2 and 3. I must remember to add that documentary to my favfilms list.
I have enjoyed those BMWs getting bogged, truly bogged! And I have great respect for those two guys' sheer determination and courage, even if they had a support gang along... The best bit was seeing that poor cameraman end up on a Russian bike without ABS breaks and that whole German precision engineering thing and the only thing stopping it ... momentarily... was its rider's lapse of concentration.



There is another visual motorcycle delight I enjoy visiting on a German website belonging to a guy named Michael Rein. when I tried to hyperlink it for you, it did not work Perhaps try it yourself on : www.michael-rein.de
He has done a lot of amazing trips throughout Europe and the photographs are truly a feast. It is certainly worth having a peek. Good Luck!

'The sound my Ninja makes'. One of these days I'll be able to share that with you too. I am working on it!
