G'day from back in a now cool Oz good.gif


To top off an absolutely "once in a 30 year" White Christmas/New Year MB Adventure tour, which had everything we could have wished for (sorry to the locals who have had to suffer the weather blush.gif), our drive to Heathrow from Windsor at 22.00 on Thursday was amazingly in fine, calm, clear weather, just as when we had arrived some 33 days earlier blink.gif

I've started practicing Tony, but everyday in South Australia is nice sunny weather at the moment. tongue.gif

After 7 weeks idle, two short bursts on the starter, a wiggle of the tank and another burst on the starter and me lovely udda "bee-arch" roared into life and we got acquainted again wub.gif

And NO snow in sight for our 360km ride today ............................... life is good yahoo.gif



Thanks again for everyone who was watching over us in your neck of the world, we were very grateful. blush.gif
