been in the shed today, c90 engine is out . just have to fit the longshit 175 and ohno suspention , three gallon tank and loudasfeck pipe . struggling with tyre choice on 17 rims .next problem legshield or go naked ! struggling with weight so might have to go on a diet !

Good going halfpint thats going to be a great desert racer your building (thumbs)

Right - I'm in. Now for the ferry

Thats the xt660z bought for the trip

Sorry boys and girls but I'm out. A lot of financial uncertainty due to a major house rebuild this time next year and with a wobbling exchange rate I just can't commit - and coming back with any form of injury would be a disaster as I'm the hoddy!

One thing, way back I reserved a good room at Ronda, which is an ideal stopping off point for getting a ferry from Algeciras, for the night before the proposed crossing. One other guy did the same. I know the hotel, the Hotel Andalusia, and it's a good place in a residential zone next to the train station - it's also on the edge of the free parking zone for folks with vans - whereas most hotels are in the old town which is a PITA to drive/ride through.

I booked it through booking.com and don't have to cancel until the last minute - although I'd like to get it done before I forget and have to pay! - but if anyone one want's to 'synchronise' so as to be sure of availability then get in touch.

Have a great time and maybe we'll see some of you you one the way down?

Cheers

Sorry to hear that Simon. It's hard to do everything that we want or need to do. Always need to get our priorities right (thumbs)

A house rebuilt ain't the cheapest at the best of times and as you say with the wobbling exchange rate it brings up a lot of uncertainty!

YES! I've won 5th prize in the la Primitiva national lottery, an entire €8 (thumbs) (thumbs) (thumbs) (thumbs)

So, according to my previous 'form, I have another twenty-two years to go for the next big win ...
