That is the way to go fenjer,
The old A74 is a good road and not a lot of traffic on it.

The A74 was ace, only saw half a dozen other bits of traffic on it both ways.

Some lovely sweeping bends on it too so I can get at those chicken strips! lol

*ROFL*

Solo round the world biker, book that inspired "Charlie and Euan" on their weird way down I've a copy if you want to read it. As in really solo, no support vehicles or backup team of any kind.


Jen, does this mean you're ready to return the favour and take me pillion now that i'm bikeless

LOL KG...

you may find the seat cowl and lack of grab rail a tad nerve wracking!

I'd be bricking it mate...honestly I am terrified of taking pillion passengers... why else would I have a seat cowl!

For motorcyclists of a certain age, he is the Daddy.

Of 'Jupiter's Travels' fame, by any chance???

Bullseye. Clearly you are 'of a certain age' Kate.

Damn.......(good book though. Have you tried reading 'Lois on the Loose' by Lois Pryce - married to Austin Vince (?) of Enduro Mundial (?) fame? She's also done an African trip, but I can't remember the name of that one. She writes with a fair bit of humour. Good books).

Never heard of her, too young you see, but sounds good. Only snag is I don't want Mrs Tiger to get any ideas, she's only been away for 4 days and there's nothing to eat and the kids are as filthy as frenchmen.

Red Tape & White Knuckles is the African one. It says here.

LOL tiger!
