1) april 1, UK - final preparations

An auspicious date for my first report ?

It's been non-stop since getting back to the UK 23rd March, but the bike's ready (though maybe not the rider), all necessary bits & pieces bought, and I haven't been able to come up with a decent excuse to call the whole thing thing off. Departure date is now set for Monday 11th April. Trip reports to follow afterwards --

Watch this space!
