You have absolutely right and I agree with you but do not blame anyone else except us, the people who let these thugs (politicians and economists) to live rich at our expense.

Wee Bad

...had been meaning to order the crash bars.
Took off the turn signal (of course.)

Lesson learned: front break in gravel bad.

While trying to negotiate a landslide up a mountain pass in Kyrgyzstan, I managed to get over the slide but gave it too much welly and the front wheel bounced off a rock in the wrong direction, I bailed out at the last minute





A lot of damage but after about 10 crashes that day, this was the worst, I did complete the ride, but never again, even the Teneres I was with had many falls

Cheers from Kashgar, China
