I'm riding from Australia to England

[P.]

Just watched the exhaust build video, so that sent me back here.

Good luck with the trip to SA and be good to see how the bike turns out after shipping.

As predicted. Delayed in the port, ETA the 14th. This is the view from my hotel room. I can literally see the boat my bike is on, and there it is floundering away like a lil bitch.

I sincerely hope that it's not on a Russian Naby Flagship.

I tempted fate with the last post. Bike was due to arrive on the 1st, me on the 5th. One of us was on time, guess which one!

3 weeks later... As of Monday, I have the bike.
On the way to Johannesburg now

I forgot about this thread. Sadly for you, not dead yet.

Anyway. Last week I rode up Kilimanjaro as far as I could, which was the Shira route, but once I got there I met some Sherpa guys who told me you can get a bit higher from the other side. I wasn't prepared to spend another whole day riding around to there, but it still was pretty great.

Anyway. I'm in Nairobi now

You'll have to sit through a few V10 engine swap videos before April unfortunately.

I'd love to share the video privately but I'm not going to simply because I think it's been dealt with in a relatively ok way, and I don't want to compromise this "deal". Y'all snoozed and lost.

Sadly I don't think it would have been offered if the video hadn't got the "fans" fired up, but I'm not complaining at all. The support has been great.

I do hope they sort it. Shame it's cut your trip short though, was enjoying it.
