Well yeah I gotta say that Motorcycles are not doing it for me at the minute - me and many others I know - my last couple of Bike blogs have been shit because I have lost interest in them big time although I ride daily and I am still paying attention to the world in general on my routes - make sense? I seem to be swearing a lot when I post stuff these days too. Lost a Friend Yesterday riding through New Zealand on his bike. Hit by a car and yeah dead. Old Skool he was... friend of my Boss too - pain in the arse to deal with but probably went the way he would have liked? I'm here today because of something Bootleg posted recently about a friend of mine buying a light aircraft from the USA (Iowa) and us 2 flying it back over Greenland, Nova Scotia, Iceland, Canada to get it back to the UK - I can't fly but my mate has promised he will fill me in with the basics so if he has a heart attack at the controls or whatever I can be a Hero and save the day and not have to eat his 2 day old corpse on The White Mountain while I wait to be rescued. Scared big time I am, yes I have seen the film Alive lol.
I hope everyone doesnt mind but i'm hoping to make a bit of a diary of the trip and want to post it on here, I will finish the bike stuff but as you now know my interest has gone completely - been promoted so I control my part of our dealership and it's hard and yes Bootleg the last guy in the position had a nervous breakdown (4 managers in 4 years isn't a good sign). I am seriously lookin forward to goin to America - the guy has bikes stored where we are heading for - old Triumphs mostly - so we can get some ridin' in hopefully but to see the sights i'm gonna see.... wow man i'm proper stoked. Until then (July I Think) any recommendations on kit I should be carrying in the event of a Crash into the Atlantic would be much appreciated!

Looking forward to that
Sounds like a fun thing to do. A freind of mine delivered a sail boat to Greece from England once, and they had to drive it, sorry, tow it over land, and some of the stories that go with that adventure are scarey but fun at the same time.
And all you need it a good pair of lips and a clean bum, so you can kiss your arse good bye, other than that think what the A Team will do, and hope your imagination is better than a bunch of writers, lol.
Anyway got to get back to my blog writting, yes people another one, lol.
Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?

Adventure
I wouldnt say fun Suf I would say down right crazy putting my life in someone elses hands but hell you only live once and a PSP was top of my list Zom; I've never played legends or Dominator (is that what they are called - ahh memory and old age don't you love it) but I like Poker so was gonna buy another PSP but truth be told I want my eyes on the skies, don't wanna miss a damn thing. Saying that, if we crash in the Atlantic maybe a I could beat a shark around the head with a PSP? Maybe not

Yes Take The Bikes But Not The Box
I'm taking the xbox to my deathbed Bootleg so hands off - you are welcome to the bikes though, if we make it back and I get my Fireblade back on the road then I aint gonna need the XR125 anyway soooo that'll be a very very cheap bike for someone... Yup i'll be taking a camera for prosperity - here is a link my buddy sent me last night of the Bonanza http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwFLVWuIRUg Looks pretty fast...
He made me chuckle the other day saying he'll be controlling my diet so I dont contribute to any deadly gasses in the cockpit hahaha Today when I told him about this site and my "japanese" tag (he speaks Jap) he told me the word for Fart Champion in Jap which I think will be my next tag lol
