I've been busy hopping around in the last year or two, so I offered up a choice of two presentations for this years HUBB UK, and as the time draws nearer with silence from the over worked organisers it looks like it is up to me to make a decision :-)

Maybe event goers can help by letting me know which presentation they prefer ?

The choices are (both is not an option) :-)

1) Pegless to Peru - (practical and informative presentation)
=====================================
The presentation will cover aspects of buying a bike in Chile, why we (my wife and I) chose Chile instead of other countries and the problems we encountered.

* Bike issues and the failure to enter Peru after a month in Bolivia, and then running out of money.
* All the usual fun of finding parts to fix a broken bike
* Fuel trouble in Bolivia
* How to explain why you are carrying a dead dog in the back of a broken down van on the Pan American.
* meeting (local) people (when the bike breaks down) and making friends.

Generally a "you can do it to" type presentation.

2) 2 Prats (a RTW adventure in 91 days)
=========================
More of a "boys own" get out and do it.

How we (myself and a friend, Mike) had to rush across the states to catch a ferry

* What happened when that was cancelled.
* How to cock up bike paper work so that you cannot ride in South Korea.
* Meeting the Hells Angels in Vladivostok, and being adopted (we sometimes thought kidnapped) by them.
* Doing the "banya" (and Vodka) in Chita
* Dealing with the heat in Kazakhstan (and major breakdown in the desert).
* Why I actually did the trip in 64 days and Mike in 93.
