Better reading than the daily paper.

Small update .having completed the b500 the good old GS did not let us down, it chucked it on the b308 and Karl aka me was once again dispatched to a motorrad dealer for a coil pack which was not in stock however the dealer when asked about second hand offered to take one of a bike in the workshop if jock paid for new replacement, money handed over and part fitted we where back on the road and only 4hrs behind. Thank god for Suzuki assistance.
Looking at the previously posted picture the bike is a single spark. They don't have a coil pack ??

The black sparky sparky thing that sits behind the abs module . I just assumed it was a coil . Sorry Neil .
Anyway , this place is awesome . We arrived at 00.15 hrs this morning after said breakdown and an epic thunderstorm that produced 2 " of hailstones and caused a massive landslide on a pass that I dont know the name of because my phone satnav is shit
. The guy sighted us on a rubbish tip plagued by red fire ants and other nasties but beggers can't be choosers right ? . Karl has been bitten all over and now looks like he has the pox . Lmao . Happy days . I'll get Karl to stick a photo up of the landslide and one of the backdrop to our ant infested base came . Catch y'all later. 
Look what I've been missing!
You two should have come to Spain and we could have had an 1150 HES Fiesta somewhere together.
I hope mine arrives today.
Have fun...

Buy some gloves and ride over that little hump. I'm still waiting for a delivery after four days.
Have you two acquired any other injuries yet apart from having your eye eaten by ants? I have and not on a bike.
Keep pushing on...

You two are fantastic....I haven't laughed so much in ages.....
Make sure you stop at a pharmacy asap, and get some antihistamine tablets, such as Piriton, essential kit to stop you looking like the Elephant Man, when you get bitten by bugs...
Good Luck and Safe Journeys to you both......

Currently the only part of me not covered in insect bites which have swollen in to spectacular mounds is my bollocks however Jock has not been so lucky. yesterday I spent the morning trying to shape my tooth brush handle into a square so as to attempt to escape the shower cubicle I had locked myself in, only I could pick the one with the missing handle and not notice until I try to leave, as this was in a basement my shouting for help was not an option so I ATeam style set about my tooth brush with my credit card knife this unlike in the movies failed. Undetered I calculated I could squeeze over the top of the door , covering the sharp edges with my towel I set about my accent in my boxers discarding any other clothes that may catch, however I was not prepaired for the light fitting that was on the roof outside my door, I am not sure if it was my head or shoulder that hit it but the result was to send the fluorescent lamp crashing to the ground covering my landing area in 10,000 shards of glass which I carefully lower myself into. Proud of myself for escaping without assistance I bend down to retrieve my clothes from under the locked door at which point I spot the missing handle lying just outside the door.
. Pointing out my accident to the staff so they can clean up the glass I point out my safety concern regarding the uncovered light fitting. And today well the nearly did not start at all.

Don't give too much away Ffs! We still have a trip report to do . Anyway , who's bright idea was it to lay cobbles on all the hairpins in the Vosges ?. 
the first hairpin I hit at speed closed my assehole tighter than a hens face and sucked a full bubble of airhawk neoprene cushion right up there. every filling in my mouth also rattled loose . . karl being from the east of Scotland didn't have to worry about his fillings as his teeth are like a row of condemned buildings already . . Did I mention That I sent him into the spar in Switzerland with a €100 note to purchase €5 worth of provisions. Guess what change he brought back . .

the adventure continues
After a 400 mile day we arrived in ieper Belgium. Fritz decided to lay downfor a wee rest snapping the pannier rail and footrest hanger in the process. It gave me the opportunity to inspect my brakes close up. Ffs they are metal to metal all round. Decided to leave a day early and catch an early train as they are good that way at the chunnel. Not today though. They had an incident in the tunnel which has left everything backed up. Earliest train is 18.30 . Currently sitting in Calais supping a nice cool beer. Life is so cruel so.etimes. .

Excellent. When you know someone's worse off than yourself then I'm alright. 
I'm hoping for three weeks of riding soon and to get rid of the poxy hire car and then discover some more problems of my own.
I hope you get home safely...
