Terri, my girlfriend, is at her most miserable when she is cold and her role in the test ride will be to look forward to my return. I realise that the first time that she gets cold then our touring days are over unless we are in a lovely sunny climate. As for me, I am looking on eBay for some warm stuff, i've got a leatherjacket but i'm hoping that the weather is not too bad or I'll have to layer up.
The bike is on road tyres which is fine for me as it is probably easier to manage on the road and I am looking forward to doing the BMW off road course which I will be doing this prior to going on a real trek, a firm believer in getting the ride equipment for the job and being shown how to use it properly.
I can see the cost of this obsession escalating as timegoes on and I the time away can't be good either. I have a telecoms company and I am setting my business to run when I'm away, I am planning that by 2010 I will be in a postition to leave for 4-6months with a small income to finance the trip along the way. Hopefully the Worlds finances' will hold out till then.....
