So we are still in Anchorage, the parts failed to arrive yesterday (Wednesday) hopefully today! The original intention was to spend 3 days here and get out before the weather turned, we have now been here almost two weeks and every day gets colder and wetter! The plan is as soon as we get my bike back to retrace our steps to Tok then Whitehorse and then South towards Jasper Banff and Calgary, Thats a distance of just over 2000 miles and we hope to do it in a week, the weather appears to be turning against us with heavy rain forecast all over with much lower temperatures so we'll take it as it comes. What should have been a pleasant meander will now be just about getting the miles in which is a great shame because there is so much to see en route. Of course first we have to see if BMW can get me my bike back, as I've said before life on te road should be just that, not hanging around in large towns waiting on bike parts and repairs!!
We remain positive despite the setbacks, now gimme my bike back!
And for your viewing pleasure the latest video, enjoy and as always comments welcome!
When you get back are you releasing a CD of the tunes on your TV series? This, and the advertising revenue from BMW would pay for your trip outright!

Aye Colin, I wish ha ha, only a one way street for the money I'm afraid but happy enough, thanks for the comments, lets us know somebody is looking

Great video, as they all have been, please don’t imagine that no ones following your blog, your trip is talked about by many. We may not comment too often but we do keep looking for and reading the latest updates.
ReplyDeleteYou both were missed at the Begonia Rally, Marc pinned your email up on the wall.
I’ve got my fingers crossed the Bum W’s can last the rest of the trip. When you get home you could make some sort of garden ornament/sculpture out of them :-)
Keep safe.
Hi Alan
DeleteGreat to hear from you, we both missed the Begonia banter & People, funny enough all weekend we were speculating on events, as we were 9 and then 8 hours behind we were riding along saying the guys will be in party mode now.
Less said about the bikes the better, can't be bad to them just yet we still have a fair way to go
Regards
