Cheers Martin - say hi to Mark for me. Are you still thinking of this run for next year? If so, what are you planning for 2012?

Rough plan for 2013 (and I mean really rough) is to ride back to Vladivostok (go east this time and take in Mongolia that we missed last time) then ship to South Korea then onto South America.

We have to buy smaller bikes and start saving. I've just sold my business so I have a bit put by - better spend it quick before my lovely Gina spots that the shops are open !

This year we are off in June to Germany to the Horizons meet then after that we are going to head towards the Balkans for a month or two.

Bet you've really got butterflies now.......

Grateful for any publicity I get - with thanks to the good people at ABR Mag - and a really good mag too. Out every two months, its well worth a read. You can subscribe for the e-version too.

That really sounds like a plan. I hear Santiago is much cheaper than BA to ship into - so arriving there from Korea could work really well for you. I´ll keep you both in mind as I blog along, and try and post up as much practical info as I can (I´ll try and keep those bits under separate pages).

I´ve just got back from the farm in Aragon with Elena, and finished a few remaining bits of work, so I´m actually feeling pretty good now. A day of packing tomorrow will probably kick off the squeeky bum time again

Such are the joys of motorcycle travel - my thumbs are being well and truely twiddled as I am still waiting for the bike to arrive!

I´m going to be here for a few more days at least, so the latest ramblings relate to life at Dakar Motos more than anything else. See: patonabike.blogspot.com.ar/

Mrs Pat has been moaning that I need to take more photos of the city - so that´s on the cards for this Bank Holiday weekend here.

My thanks again for the messages and good wishes.
Pat
