Kinda OT: Buying a motorbike over in the UK

Of course.

Which is why he really should buy an ETZ301 for the trip. Much more suitable.

Once you get outside the major conurbations of Portugal, it's equally as '3rd world', but you're never more than an hour or so away from a big city with all the usual things, and more, that you'd expect from a city in the UK.

Still doesn't change the fact that, if, by any chance David Silver couldn't DHL something to you, all you need do is phone your breakdown company and have the bike and yourself recovered to somewhere the bike can be fixed in a reasonable time.

Don't you believe it.

The Czech postal system isn't that bad really. Worse than ours, but not much worse. I see parcels from Cz on a weekly basis, nothing much seems to go missing.

You've been lucky then. Big John used to send things. He won't now because of orders going missing and people who did't know him as well as others thinking he was a dishonest bastard.

Plenty of friends and rellies I can register it to over there. Won't be a problem.

Let me think about that.No. : )

I might have to catch up with some of you reprobates in the flesh. I imagine I will be flying into Heathrow then heading up to Scotland via Yorkshire where I have some friends.

Fraser

I live in Yorkshire :-) You're welcome to come and dribble over my Clio :-p Not literally dribble *on* it you understand...

Oooooooh. Cool. You can take me for a blat and scare the crap out of me.

Fraser

There's probably a good chance I'd crash if I tried to show off, and probably kill us both. Is that ok?

Sure. You gotta die sometime. I've had 2 really near misses and one where I had to be brought back. I figure anything now is just bonus time.
