VLMCC On the home run pointer, enjoy London, it's hard to get back, the "tube" is unreal. I can see you at that footy match singing your heart out (wish it had been me) I've seen you singing the Australian national anthem at the top of your voice in a pub in Walcha on the way to Qld. You made me proud that nite. Catch up soon Ian. Peter Jenny Jess.

nord brotherhood hi! We got your message but it was deleted by accident so we didn't read it. Could your resend it? We are fine. Some new people became bikers in our city. And some new travellers came. two English travellers and two from Ukraine. The first ones went to America though their visa was almost dead. We fixed their suspension and they stayed in Yakutsk for 2 days. Ukrainians went to Magadan. None of them didn't hear about you. Say hello to Mike!

VLMCC You win pointer, "he who dies with the most freinds wins" I know your not dead, but I'm sure after this you'll have the most freinds!! It's been great living vicariously thru your blog, thanks for the opportunity, it's been the hi_light of my working week.Looking forward to catching up and having a beer. Pete and Jenny Jess and Pete.
