So, needless to say it wasn't quite as easy to pick up a big ol' Harley Davidson as the brouchure suggested. And the helmets that were provided bore more resemblance to a rabbi's skull cap than a safety device. So 2 new helmets for Stuart and Sylvia, a couple of hours of admin - and we were nearly ready. Has anybody seen the film Transformers - that bright yellow car Bumblebee (ie the alien in earth form) looks suspiciously similar to the rental bike. Perhaps it will turn into a space ship and save us from mad American truck drivers....

After a war of wits with the receptionist at our hotel - Richmond Magnuson Grand hotel, we got booked in. A really good meal at Plaza Azteca, time to blog, and so to bed.
