Excellent:

"A new bike awaited me at the Honda agency in Veracruz. I was
confronted by the first official when registering the bike. Proof of
residence was obligatory. A utilities bill was sufficient. The
registrar produced his own electricity bill and called me grandfather"

 

Looks like you

Dunno, but:

A good read, that.

 

Bloody brilliant!

 

interesting tale.

Thing is - he makes that CG look like and RGS - is he <5' tall?

 

well, Amazon have it for £6.99 inc....

 

I thought exactly that too.

 

Puts "Long way round/down" into shame.

No support vehicles nor crew.
No backup apart from friendly calls back to a policeman.

Perhaps I will tour India on a CG125........Thay are popular there

Most people shrink with age.

The only newspaper I take is the Guardian on Saturday, so I wouldn't
have missed seeing this review.

Given his name, I wonder if he will make a hobbit of long distance
rides?

Inspiring. One-clicked, along with "From A to X: A Story in Letters" by
John Berger. So that's two hoary old bikers' literary offerings to be
read. This Berger title probably won't feature bikes TBF, but I greatly
enjoyed "To the Wedding" (as did SWMBO, though she found it bleak) so I
want to read more of his work.

I've got that. It's surprisingly good. Well written and funny.

 

73 y-o, 30 years younger wife, late teens sons... shagged a 25 y-o when he
was 55, brilliant!

 

All of a sudden I feel better about the 24 yr age gap me and my ex had.

Wonderful.

"I bought a thick jumper and a pair of strong Church's walking shoes in
a Hereford charity shop, packed thermals and a six-month supply of heart
medication."

Just... wonderful.

 

My aspiration!

Silly old fucker, not riding for 40 years and doing that with no prep.
I've read a couple of his things over the years, didn't know he was
still around.

Play.com have it for £6.99 inc postage, Amazon need you to spend £15
first...

 

They lowered the free P&P threshold to £5 last year

Then again, Amazon are cunts whereas Play.com are good guys.

 

I've never had a problem with Amazon. They are quite philanthropic too,
having recently opened a distribution centre which employs 1500 people
in the Swansea area.

They do seem to have a Canesian attitude towards employees but I doubt they
are much different to other cuntish employers like Asda et al.

It seems play,com are no different to the others in attitudes towards
consumers:
