I was out "doing research"* the other day, trawling round a few bike dealers, and popped into Youles (Triumph Dealers) in Blackburn.

Very helpful, although despite their best efforts, they were (just about) unable to convince me to spend £8,000 on the Sprint ST that I need.

While I was there, I saw the poster for a guy who's doing a trip down through Africa on a Tiger, and having had a quick browse, it's interesting reading, and well worth a trawl.

Or as Mrs Dibble would say "Wasting time with your mate when there's stuff needs doing around the house. Have you walked the dogs yet?..."

Have you read "Jupiter's Travels" by Ted Simon? It would be right up your street...

I'm 40 in a couple of years...

Planning to do some shorter trips before then, but where I'll end up eventually, who knows?
