I'm afraid I'm not very good with sat nav but if can find co ordinates of somewhere particularly good will make a note.
I'm growing to love my bike despite the tribulations! However when I get back I simply must do something to improve the seat comfort. Do you have any suggestions?

I've ridden my bike from Japan, across Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan and now in Georgia and I have a skinny rear end without much padding so I needed something. I bought a cheap solution from the USofA called a "Sweetcheeks" bike seat. It holds 2x2.5 litre bottles that I recycle from their original purpose of holding fizzy drinks and then throw a sheepskin cover over the whole lot. It works a treat and it's cheap. If you do a youtube search with this "sweet cheeks seat mod for DRZ400" you will see a DIY version of it. I've used mine for carrying spare water and for extra fuel a couple of times, at other times when water and fuel availability isn't an issue I leave the bottles empty.
