Default Message from Kinvig

Just spoke to Dirk on the phone - he asked me to post on here that he is OK. I said I didn't want to go on a Suzuki forum as I ride Triumph's and BM's and don't like to mix with you riff-raff, but said I would as it's him .

Anyway - in case you don't know, he trashed his bike yesterday ( his fault - no surprise there then ), got himself all bruised up but is alive and err, drunk now actually. Bike requires some 'tweaking' but will live to see another day. Now stuck in the Ukraine for a few days. I hope for his sake that that is the end of his bad luck!

Laters,

Pluck

Awww big Shell hug.

Hope he is OK and not too badly bruised He must be ok as he can get the alcohol down his neck which means he has use of 1 limb xxx

Man, that boy is unlucky.

Hopefully he'll be able to kick that GS back into shape and carry on with his adventure.

Keep going Kinvig.

Thats about the long and short of it. His trip isn't over - he's going to carry on and good on him too. I like to think he's 'in training' for when the going gets really tough - those 'roads' in Kazakhstan are a nightmare and will really test his metal

Pluck
