Almost time.....

Only 6 weeks to go before we depart on our trip and 2 of the bikes are in for repairs with mysterious symptoms.
Mine is heat related, which if i may say is not good as we head to some of the hottest countries in the world. The electronic part of the fuel pump and the idle valve, after showing faults on the bike computer, has now been changed, so hopefully that would have sorted the problem.
Andre has a potentially computer issue, sending wrong signals to his engine, hopefully a reboot and flush of the system will sort things out. He also gets his chain and rocker cover gasket replaced in preparation of the trip.
Funnily enough, the only bike that seems to be going without an issue, Delilah's, has physical damage, a hairline crack in the crankcase. We do hope to get the crack fixed before we go though, thanks hopefully to BMW.

On another note, we now have our Sudan and Egypt visas secured, just Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda to go. We will apply for the Uganda visa despite the recent occurrence there, but will give it a miss if things are not safe at the time of travel.
We have also booked our ferry from Venice to Egypt, secured our Carnet de Passages en Douane and received all but 1 vaccination shot each, next would be to buy the all important Malarone (Malaria tablets) of which we need 90 each. More to follow shortly........................
