A new addition to KO2 Adventures

Just picked up the new bike (actually a K3 GSXR 750) thanks to Armadillo At Large, who provide security services to humanitarian agencies. We get some sign-writing shortly prior to our jaunt to the Isle of Man TT Road Races.

I'd like to offer a massive thank you to Steve M, for making all this possible. I'm going to be photographing the area to highlight the incredible roads we have around North Yorkshire and the Isle of Man, only 1 hr & a short ferry ride away. Great roads and great scenery, perfect for "sensible" biking. Its easy to disrupt the peace & quiet around here, although, despite my roaring up into the car park, once the engine was off, the tamest little chaffinch hopped right up to my boots here at Scar Reservoir in the Nidderdale Valley, as I stood by the bike.

A lovely gent had been out walking with his wife & came over to tell me the story of how he ran into a truck on his BSA 500 many years back, but it was exactly what made him meet his wife, she nursed him in the hospital .. bless !!



There are more photos of the area if you visit the FaceBook group.
As for Kenya, now things are calmer we're hoping to make plans for Summer 2009, if not a Christmas Santa Run.
We hope you'll join us.
