Scooters Ride the World: February 2012
http://enyatopbox.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Scooters Ride the World. Riding the world on small bikes, just because we can. Wednesday, 29 February 2012. Bugger, its all gone wrong! Yep it has.decided to change the oil. And what happens? The thread in the crankcase bolt hole gives up the ghost and now I can't tighten the bolt, which means it will leak, shake loose, drain the oil, cause the engine to seize and I'll be over the handlebars like superwoman on a mission. So it now needs drilling and helicoiling. Tuesday, 28 February 2012. And I had my la...

OneTrack: Tizi N Test pass
http://notionings.blogspot.com/2008/01/tizi-n-test-pass.html
Adventure Riding on a Honda C90. Sunday, 6 January 2008. Tizi N Test pass. We are now rough camping with a fire and stars for company. Tizi N Test pass in the Atlas mountains was wonderful - 70 miles of mountain hairpin bends - single track a lot of the way with a little snow ice at the top. Lots of red mud villages on route. All villagers smiled and waved. Managed to video some of them since I was driving the L200 trailer today. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What's this trip all about then? Journa...

I nearly forgot ~ Tan Tan, the town | Gambia on a Gapper!
http://gapper.magireland.org/2011/07/28/i-nearly-forgot-tan-tan-the-town
I nearly forgot Tan Tan, the town. By Marc on July 28, 2011. Worth a mention if only because it was a nice town. Not big, nor fancy, but friendly people and just a nice ‘vibe’ off the place. The hotel was a welcome retreat from the sun, with good rooms of a high (relatively) standard. We parked the Bikes in a big shed out the back, which was handy as for the first time on the trip some serious mechanicking was required. Above – the view from our last campsite. The phosphate plant! Tan Tan the town. Long ...

Due to unforeseen……. By Marc on September 5, 2011. Yeah right. sure. Apologies for the absence of posts lately – i had the audacity to take 2 weeks off. Worse yet – i’m taking another 2 weeks off at the end of this week. So, normal (i.e; slow, erratic moody) service will resume some time after that. I know, I know – I’m not doing the book deal any favours, am I? Anyone would think I had a life….) 🙂. From → On the Road. Take it handy, catch up soon. The Blog – Read all about it! Hi & Welcome.
