Get your Coates.... Ian is back
 

After 250,000 miles and 14 years wandering around the globe on his Africa Twin, Ian Coates the intrepid pensioner is back in the UK on Friday 11th Jan heading for the Manchester Motorcycle Show on his route home.

Staying with yours truly for the weekend, we have managed to get Ians bike into the event, as lets face it, we would all like to see a bike that has managed such and epic trip.

Despite being married, Ian has still got family waiting (not sure my missus would wait 14 days), but he hasn't finished yet.

Plans for a trip to Portugal to collect a Landrover he bought there some time ago, will pospone further riding, and I am sure his old faithfull HAT will need some TLC.
