Touch wood
 
Fingers crossed I'll be there, I'm easy to spot I'm the one on the 125cc - unless I ride the Ruckus of course.

Old Man On A Bike
 
Sounds a good day. I'll be there - also with books and a thirst.
Cheers...

G2K Glasgow to Kathmandu presenting at the UK Horizons Meet in June
 
Dear Grant,

Thank you for asking me to present at the UK Horizons Travellers Meeting 18-21st June.

We can talk at the Ace Cafe a week on Sunday.

I will also bring my lap-top along on the 8th in case you can fit me in for an hour to give my presentation.

Look forward to seeing you.

Yours,

Fergus

We will be there too! Although as we have new bikes we don't have HU stickers on!

Spot the spotless blue kwak Versys and the black with gold frame Shiver!

It will be nice to meet with few familiar faces and some new!

Simon Gandolfi, good you are coming! I read your book (loved it!) and looking forward to get it signed! :) It reminded me so much of my time in south america! It was so spot on in the description of people, land, events....

See you there everyone!

Franglais Riders
 
Delighted you enjoyed the book. Look forward to meeting up. Where next? I have begun planning a ride round India for next winter - the damp cold here does for my injured leg! And I need to meditate on prawns. Honda build the equivalent of the Brazilian built Honda 125 that took me trouble free through over 50000 Ks of the Americas. I'll be 77 by the end of the Indian trip - so possibly the final hurrah!! Of course I might snuff before or on the ride...:oops2:

Hi from a fellow truck victim - mine was in Tierra del Fuego. Good to meet you - especially as I'm presently planning an Indian journey for next winter! I am giving a short presentation at the Ace meet around 3.30 - otherwise will be signing copies of OLD MAN ON A BIKE. Let's get together...
Cheers from one :oops2: to another

Simon great to hear you have more plans. Next trip for us in 2 years time, London Sydney via Khazakstan, mongolia and Siberia... should be interesting!
I look forward to your presentation, we missed it at Ripley as we were doing ours at the same time, although we did grab few beers with you if you remember!

Cheers,

does anyone have a contact e-mail for the guys at Travel-Dri-Plus?
I've looked at the website and there's a phone number, but no e-mail.
there's some things I'd like them to bring along, and I don't think my boss'll be too happy if I call when at work :nono:
