Good job with the camera Ben. I knew Sam couldn't possibly be completely happy without some corner work.

Hope you didn't scuff your arse!  ;D

Even more good news for Sam today Ben - China is lifting its ban on giving bald blokes an entry visa so he can nip off there for his holidays legally now!  ;D

Ben.....if Sam can be a "monkey" on a sidecar he should be able to take and post some pics. My 2 cents. ::) ;)

Good stuff Ben. I'm stoked to see Sam's turned to the dark side.
I'm on the look out for a good passenger.
If it wasn't for the small matter of an twenty thousand kilometer(Correction by Sam) round trip Sam might be the man.

Cheers,
Brian

Hi Brent, I was deemed heavy enough not to need to have to use the outside hand holds, so no scuffed bum.  ;D

I went to the pub last night and my legs and arms were killing me, it was a very intensive work out.  ;D

Guess I'll have to get the weights out and get the old body a bit fitter before the next outing in September.  ::)

If it wasn't for the small matter of an eight thousand kilometer round trip Sam might be the man.

Brian, It was a last miniute request for me to chair as the usual passenger was ill, I volenteered without having my brain removed so there's no truth in that myth. ;D ;D ;D

Darwin is the nearest Ausie airport to the UK and is 8603 miles each way, guess your 8000 kilometers was a bit out, perhaps you were one of the charioteers that took the advise and had your brain removed.  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Not sure how it would cope with the rough stuff on cut slicks Jerry and the ground clearance and lack of suspension would probably shake my false teeth out. ;D ;D ;D

No brain removal here either Sam, but I've had a few nasty bumps maybe they leaked out.
Never been real flash when it comes to time or distance.
I'm another 2000K's south of Darwin. So I was only12000K's out.

Cheers,
Brian

We still use miles over here Brian, it's about the only thing that's not gone metric in this crazy world.
It would be a lot easier if everything in the world were to be standardised, perhaps the Americans would stop messing about with our language as well. :D :D :D :D :D

It's not just the septics Sam. We do a pretty good job of Bastardising the Queens English down here in the colonies as well.
