Afternoon everyone,I'm back...........I made it back to Blighty on the 14th Aug 06. The trip in total was a great success, I covered a total of 75,000k's over 9 months of the year (lost 3 months to bike moving from country to country). I only got one speeding ticket (in NZ on the South Island), went through 8 rear tires and 6 fronts, had the bike serviced in all the countries I stopped in except SA (needed it but ran out of time), no accidents (well fell off on a few unmade roads but no damage to me just a bust indicator on the bike).Total cost inc bike, bike transportation, fuel, everything really £40,000 - NZ$100,000ish but worth every penny.Yes, back for the month of Jan 07, landing on new years eve and flying home on the 2nd Feb. I'll be with the girly this time so look out fo 2 pomme's on NZ KLR250's in the first 2 weeks of Jan when we will be doing a little tour of the north island with some friends. I'll then be spending the last 2 weeks of Jan in Hastings when she goes home.All the best Harvey
