G'day John!
Glad to hear you're in China.
Bike situation not looking good for me, think I'll pull the pin and stick to the feet. Basically it amounts to this: the extra cost of the XT660 here compared with Germany (where I found out I can get one for EU6000) + the the loss from the wear and tear/kms + cost of shipping out my gear + foreign ex etc, means that when I eventually sell in Germany I'll realise a loss of up to US$5000. As much as I want to do the trip and ride a bike through the Pamirs it's just too crazy.
Anyway, I look forward to our next  (in Germany?), enjoy the trip, say g'day to Mick!
