Just 'cos you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you !
Remember, experience only means that you screw-up less often.
First of all thanks lads for all the replies and also
the txts, its a great feeling to get the responces
This is just a wee quick up date on me moto
will fill you all in on leaving Iran and Pakistan
in a day or two...
So anyway the front forks seals went after
that nitemare of a road from Taftan to Quetta
about 440miles, lads n ladies i will be honest here
i was crapping meself on some off it, its different when
you travelling with someone you know you have help
or if the shit hits the fan you know you could probably
go faster than them so they would get caught and not
you
but back to the oil seals, i brought spares with me
so no problems there (thanks Jockser for the offer)
This morning started to take the moto apart to fit the
new ones, but the bolts for the right fork brace would
not move so a wee bit harder and snap didnt i take
the heads off both bolts, aah the joys of motorcycling
Even with the bolt heads off the fork would not come
off the brace, half a can of wd40 and a hour later wiggling
the fork back and forth, i got it out...so now to get the
bolts out, tryed the trick of two nuts together but no luck.
So next thing the wee man in the hotel, waving to me to
follow him, got in to his van, a 5 minute drive to his friends
and 10mins later his mate had the bolts out in his work shop
all off this done for the heavy price of 40cents....
lads where would you get it
so tomorrow its find fork oil and put me moto
back together, nobody said it was going to be
easy, but i love me moto
on the road sure ya ave to
Travel is fatal to hatred, bigotry and prejudice.
love n laughter
Hope you get her back in one piece soon Joe. Keep the stories and pics commin. Hope also your quest to find out more about your family is successful.

Sorry te hear of the wee(??????) problems. Hope they get resolved quickly and you're back on your way.
Know exactly how you feel about being on your own. It took me about three hours to do 90ks of piste on my own in Mori. Just had to be sooooo careful.
