Good going! How inspiring. 6 Bikes, 3 Tents but I am interested to know how many people? How many boys and girls:?

I was amazed to see the 2 of you with Tim who I used to work with at Sharps bedrooms Wolverhampton. A nice chap.

"Loo has a wire attached to a wrong terminal somewhere, on a nice bit of tarmac she will change down a couple of gears but show her some fat speed bumps and she is on the gas like David Knight at Weston beach race."
You go girl!!!!!!

Hi you two,really enjoyed reading your blog,what a fantastic time you both are having.
I think after a bit of third world travel you both are going to enjoy the remainder of your trip through Europe.
I'm planning a long weekend over to northern France the end of the summer with a couple of mates why don't you think about joining me,when you get back all you will think about is when can I get back on my bike again.
Anyway ride safe you both and enjoy the last leg of your Global Trip.
See you both soon ,Take Care Dave .

Hello hello. Today, I crashed my car into a fast moving lampost in tesco car park, lost my wallet and had my first visit to the dentist in 6 or 7 years. Grumpy is not the word. Luckily i remembered about your blog and now i'm feeling a whole lot better. Love reading about your adventures, it all sounds amazing. Cheerio.

Hi you two
Sounds like Syb and Baz are doing the business - glad it's all going well. Hey Loo - I've just imported some pictures into a Word document, AND done borders, AND lines, AND it looks pretty good. Not much compared to riding across the Nullabor on an XT, I know...
Looking forward to May, when we can hear all these stories in person.
Cheers

Hello Super Stars!
Loo - Glad you got a better bike than the aforementioned hairdryer! Top website too - your writing 's kept me entertained for ages (esp. the bit about Winky paying $35 for a 'massage' - I bet that hurt him in more ways than one!) Old HinesEkins Proverb: if it smells of fish... no sorry - I think that's wrong!
Love to you both & looking forward to herring your stories with a beer in front of us!

Hi Loo and Gary
How gutting for you both- I really feel for you. I'm so glad you're looking at other options though, especially as you might still get to ride across Oz- let me know if you do end up in Perth as I have got a bike traveller friend in Fremantle who might be able to put you up if he is still there.
Good luck
love from

I had heard from Ricardo and the guys last week that you were in Quito.
You're doing brilliantly- a shame about all the rain and as for that bloody thief...
remember to look out for the traffic police in Peru- they will attempt to sting you for speeding fines.
Ride safe

Good to hear you both ok. ( Just ). Although falling off will make a good chapter in the book. Sam keeps saying we should pop down and see u. I keep telling him we cant afford the airfair and he wouldnt like the food. Take care and try not to fall off again.

It is great to keep in touch, I think you both have more bottle than Unigate Dairies. I've been watching your progress with interest and can only send my good wishes for the next stage of the trip. I bet you will get plenty of quotes for the 2009 Motorcycle Diary!

Loo!
Glad you're OK. Please stay the right way up in future. Next week Roger, my mate Neil (1953 Francis-Barnett) and me (Bantam D14!) are going for a little jaunt to Wales. Supposed to be a story for the book, but really it's just a jolly. What an adventurous lot we are - it's hardly the Pan Am.
