Well after one month on a beach we are finally on the road again! We had a great time for Helens birthday and new year was a stonker-- in every way.The bike went in for repair in the new year, it took a week and then I tried to sell it -I put up fliers and parked the bike in prominent position with a big sign on it but no joy.Joes bike is now in for repair[ the bikes we bought were utter crap and we have had to spend a lot of money getting them sorted -- a common complaint amongst bulletwalla bike owners --5out of 5 owners have the same story !!!!!!!] Anyway, Joe is now riding my black bike and we are on our silver one. Joe will get his bike back in a month - with a huge bill.
We are also joined by our old mate Martin.Presently we are in Udipi, on the coast of Karnataka, tomorrow we head inland to Moodabidri, where we might get to see some buffalo racing - they really shift when they want to !
We spent today bolting things back onto the black bike -it sheds parts like an oak tree sheds leaves in autumn.Its now running o.k. again and looks complete.We head for Kerala in the long term, for some good mountain roads, bringing fun and games to the adventure, we only have a month to do this in [and return] so the bikes had better behave themselves. The border crossing out of Goa was a breeze - we were expecting trouble as the pigs are becoming even more greedy than usual but we rode straight thru - but they did realise that 3 victims got thru when they werent paying attention.I apologise for the underscoring, but the keyboard has a mind of its own.

yeah - the day is soon coming where Goa is just so NOT on the map due to ever increasing costs and corruption ...
Yeah it has disturbed us greatly this year-- it could now be anywhere in the world. Cheap[but not as cheap as it was ] beer and sun and sea - high rise buildings and cement everywhere!
