just bought my kit. boots (lovely sidi crossfire blue seude numbers), a good helmet, motox pants and a decent jacket. went riding in the alps last weekend in the rain, the mud and fek it was fun. spent 4 hours up there in the clouds on col de lys. just me, the goats and the cows.
got my carnet pretty much sorted. the director of my insurance company is writing the heavy cheque for the many countries import duties. egypt being the biggest and baddest of them all. they want a guaranteed cheque valued at like 8 times the price of the bike. eish.
ordered some bags in the post from london. side panniers. called andystrapz... http://www.andystrapz.co.uk/ but they got stolen in the post! so theyre resending them now. some geezer in the post office might be needing some xtra luggage on his postal bike (for stealing more goodies i expect). anyhow, things are coming together slowly but surely. still have to order my gps, pannier racks and the millions of spares that i need.
last but not least.... looks like matteo will be coming in the trip with me! super happy about that. hes buying a bike right now. a TTR. so well have a similar bike. good for spares.
