Hi All, Well….I arrived back in England., Jolly nice thank you very much. After arriving back from Africa via Europe I spent a couple of weeks catching up with friends and then flew to India with my brother and hired a couple of classic Indian 'Royal Enfield' motorbikes to tour the country. The trip was terrific and Northern India and the Himalayas were unforgettable. The plan now is to take a little while out from the bike while living on a boat travell...
