Those links are awesome mate, thanx. Just what i was after. There's pretty much everything for them.

The bikes in the pictures must have had a mint spent on them. Look dead smart. They look better when there super motad.

The prices don't seem to bad for bits in america, specially now the exhange rate benefits us. nearly $2 to a £1

cheers, pearse

Started watching it with me mate on saturday night, then me other mates came round who aint in to bikes. Had to turn it off :cry:

Some set up they've gpt though. The first episode, so jealous. Brand new snap on tools, then they got all kinds of training. Bit different to how i was gonna do it, lol. Couple of spanners and a screw driver, they got 2 4x4 etc. Can't understand why they wanted the KTM's for free. If he wanted them that bad, he should have bought them seen as though hes a millionaire. I'm not jealous :P

Started off really good though. Looking forward to watching the rest. The Bm's look the business

Jus watched all of te dvd - the long way round. absolutely amazing. It looked like such fun. Especially accross russia, some of the roads they had to go down (if you can call them roads). Thanx for recommending it. The bmw's looked really cool by the end of it. Big respect to have made it through all that.

Go out and buy yourself a copy. Well worth the 7 hours watch

Me and my mate have been thinking long and hard bout this one. We've also been researching like crazy. The bike I think i'm going to go on is the honda dominator 650. Fairly cheap, single cylinder (easy maintanance) Super reliable.

We leave on August 27th for 16 days. We've had to drastically cut down the journey as i think we got a little excited.

We crossing at dover to france. Riding right down France/germany boarder into switzeland. Going through swiss into nourthern Italy. Then goiing west back into france right down south coast west into Spain. Gonna follow coast through barcelona, valencia right down to granada. Were then getting a ferry over to morocco for 2 days. Crossing back to spain and riding though mainland spain/ffrance back to england. All this in 16 days. Not very long at all.

I got my bike test on May 16th as I aint even passed my test yet. It's a lot to do but fingers crossed it will all slide into place
