59,000 miles and counting…

This week saw the arrival of 59,000 miles on the clock for the Africa Twin…  and following the events with the fule pump and the rear brake calliper – this week saw the leaking from the left radiator – bugger again…. Good job I had a spare 2nd hand one sitting on the shelf.. (well done Ebay)

Still looking around at other bikes – the BMW1200 GS, Boxer 800 XC, BMW 800GS etc … most of the GS Adventure bikes are either too expensive for my budget or have loads of miles on them… Looks like I will have to settle for a standard BMW 1200 GS ( not that I was ever intending to ride over the really rough stuff – well not yet !)

Will then have to decide what to do with Mr Mugabe… mmmmm I think management will have an opinion on that too….. it’s taxed and MOT’d…. !!!
