    And I met this absolutely great down to earth guy at the 2017 Manx gp, he is also presenting at this overland event.
    Now, he does have some tales to tell, changing the pistons and barrels at 200, 000 miles in the African bush etc.
    The bike looks absolutely knackered but he loves it, more rebuilds than Triggers broom.

    Great minds think alike and all that.
    I sent the seller a message only this morning asking if it came with a key.
    My previous history of working with lock barrels means you need the key to remove the old one @Iceman any info or knowledge on this?

    Thank you @Boothman for your thoughts and suggestion :)

    @Eldon Great pictures. And just my idea of a trip. We should all try a little bit of roughing it.

    Hardly roughing it in reality @joe mc donald when I had x3 nights in a bunkhouse. The camping went well, some spots better than others, but that's the deal and makes the adventure. The Invershin Hotel is reasonably priced and ticks the box for anyone not keen on camping.
