Bloke looking a Bike brought back from Mali - Part II

[(RIP) petcul]

What a shame!!! I'm sure he'll still have a great adventure and he'll see all that he would have seen had he been on the bike.

Good man

just curious. If the bike was wrecked, why didn't the owner contact Gerry and tell him not to bother coming down?

 

[EmmettC]

I'm not too sure about that to be honest, I think he only realised it was wrecked hours before GerryC arrived.

 

[SHORTLEGS]

yes, a sad end to the plan, though I'm sure Gerry will make the best of the adventure

I wonder what will happen to the bike? all suggestions/ideas welcomed

 

[jafo]

just catching up with this now!
thats disappointing but then the best adventures start with a bit of disappointment!
is there any truth in the rumour that he's gathering photorally points for 2012!

Yeah I'm back after an eventful 5 & a 1/2 weeks

just curious. If the bike was wrecked, why didn't the owner contact Gerry and tell him not to bother coming down?

I learned of potential head gasget failure enroute to Bamako while in Barcelona airport.

EmmettC (an alledged relation) sent out a head gasget by DHL & I headed for Tombocktu by other means.

So right - I got back to Bamako & took the head off - a gasget will not fix what I found (see picture).

All that said had a great time & covered a lot of ground meeting lots of good sorts & taking lots of pics.
Question; is it appropriate to file a trip report in due course when a bike really did not feature?
