I've repeatedly asked him and he said: "No, I've promised it to Enduro World."

End of story. From my side, at least.

Hats off to you all, this is the best report I have ever read, better than all of Charlie and Ewans programes as this is the real deal, no back up and having to depend upon yourselves, you have my greatest respect.

As has been said by all who have read this, it must be published.

some dude compiled it into a PDF... check the ADVRider thread... should be available for download there. Otherwise I have it, you can PM me your e-mail address and I'll mail it to you, but that's a last resort as it's quite big, close on 19 MB.

Metaljocky, you give new meaning to the term "poetry in motion".

Absolutely epic RR. Your ride was amazing, brave, crazy and lucky. It reads like a Boy's Own. Each episode leaves the reader hanging, calling for more. Fantastic!

Smithey · « **Reply #372 on:** November 11, 2008, 09:26:39 pm »

Only seen this now, a link from the best RR thread.

This site amazes me from day to day. The hidden wonders than we some times miss.

To the gentlemen that participated in this epic journey there is no words that can explain the joy and exhilaration that you have provided me the last 7 hours of my life.

a TRUE adventure you have endured.

Well done.

An epic journey that will be hard to follow. Raised the bar in my thought of adventure riding and for this i thank you.

When it was first written and posted piece by piece on ADV Rider, the Adv rider boys who have some epic ride reports were crying out for more, definitely a great one

And a great writing style.

Only got round to this today. I laughed and I cried. Several times.

Thanks MJ and friends.
