On a very cold Sunday morning we set off to the Ace Cafe in London... By the time we arrived I was chilled to the bone.. So lots of hot mugs of tea. I met with lots of old faces and friends - it is so good meet them. Had a good look around and only purchased one book. Picture below to prove I was there and that Colin still has a bike !!! David was on the other side of the camera.
I met up with the guys from Motofreight that are moving Madiba to the USA and back.... Slight change of plans - it is flying out and then coming back via a ship from Houston TX..... Money saved there. Will need to look at the map again and plan accordingly.... Looks like I will either hire a car to get from Houston to Orlando or even take an internal flight (cheaper option).
I also met with fiends that are going to be at the HU Event in Virginia in late April and others that are going to be at the Adventure Expo in Flagstaff Arizona in May...
I have now got the paperwork to temporarily import the bike into the US and also the instructions on what I can and cannot include in the bike panniers etc... Unpack and repack .... Again
Still planning to spend a week of so the in the area of Flagstaff and then travel up to Montana and turn right.... Maybe even getting into Canada early and going over the lakes towards Montreal etc etc....
Just two weeks before the bike get delivered and just 3 weeks before I fly... Oops.. Running out of time .... Good job I've retired lol
