Bought the bits needed for service, then filled the bike with petrol. Had to remove the tank to do tappets (some mothers do have them, tank was heavy and hard to maneuver, can't work out why), took 2 days to do the service and fix the usb port I had added that had packed up. Now done and back on the road.

Booked and confirmed flight home for mid March for me but bike end of February from Capetown .

Made up a camera bracket for bike and fitted it so may be able to video some of the roads.

Looked at the maps but routes all long and straight down to the coast so guess just do it, would like to find an interesting was and discovered South Africa has a route 62. Will give that a try is the plan.

One for Alan

Never knew they built bikes.
