    Watch out for the light speed camera just behind Europa.

    Personaly, I think the wobble of the stars oribit noticed by the astronmers, was merley a Harley cornering around the mountain roads in Chile!

    Hi Triumph, I pleased to hear you find collecting bikes irresistible…..me too!
    Boy are you going to miss them when you are over in the UK.
    As far as the licence is concerned…I’m sorry I dont know, but the link about seemed pretty useful.
    You mention a 250cc to go from Kingston upon Thames to Edinburgh….huummm….I would go for something bigger if I were you.
    Have you thought about a 500 or 600. This sort of mileage warrants a bike that is not spinning to fast at motorway speeds.
    I’m sure the forum members can recommend some possible bike candidates.
    Why are you thinking of a 250, and which one di you have in mind? – Am I missing something, altough I understand you need to get a full licence. cheers

    Long way Down eh?….Michael Palin did somthing similar a few years ago, most enjoyable.
    Riding though Africa sounds fantastic.

    I hope the boys don’t spend half of the schedule trying to circumnavigate London traffic though!

    The hairy bikers take some beating too for entertainment. Bring it on Charlie & Ewan.

    Hi Pete, glad you seem to be back on the mend again now.
    I just wondered about the Suzuki choice….isn’t there another Triumph you would like to have as a second bike?
    What about a complet change like a scrambler, or a maybe 675?

    Great read, and as radar said I loved my TDR and would seriously consider another. I am two stroke fan too, I have an RD250, a RD350YPVS and then the TDR.

    Hi E1,
    Sounds like a blocked Jet in the carb to me.
    But I’m amazed more damage has not been done by running transmission oil ILO 2 stroke.
    Please take care with any seals the trans oil could have been in contact with, as the additives in trans oil are not always compatible.
    Good luck!

    Rossi will be so tough to beat, but we need someone pushing him all the way.
