Blown valves in France

Carol's brother Wayne here in Brisbane. Unfortunately, Carol and Ken got to France and blew a valve in the engine about 119km north of Paris. They have been waiting for parts to come from England which were suppose to be there last week. The bike parts from England did not arrive in France as of Monday evening French time. Carol and Ken telephoned us to say they are still stuck north of Paris. They will ring again Tuesday evening to let us know their progress. They told me that once they get the bike fixed they will head to the south of France and over to Tunisia. They will be in Cairo around the 23rd January for the end of the Rally. Once they get somewhere where there is a cybercafe, they will be able to read and reply to e-mails, until then they have asked me to check them and let people know what is happening.
Best Wishes Wayne Roberts
