Saved by Old man BMW Kanobi For sale... bargain price With this in mind, I wondered if I might be able to fall back on someone I know and trust to store the bike, look after it and hold onto it until it does sell. Ironically, the only person I could think of is the father of my ex-fiancee - the very same person I'm trying to get 1000's of miles away from. He's a good man with a good head on his shoulders and has a lot of empathy for the reasons why I feel as if I have to do this. The man is about as reliable as they come, knows BMW bikes almost as well as he knows cars (which is extremely well) and isn't moving from his current address anytime soon. So when I asked him if he'd be prepared to do this for me, he was more than happy to oblidge. I owe him a lot of gratitude for that. This turn of events, my friends, is a massive relief... a huge weight off my shoulders. Not only are there a few other matters that need attending, I've been itching to be able to set a concrete date and this frees me up to do so: The 28th of July is freedom day - straight for Mallacouta. I've been coutning the hours to get out of here from the very day the boat show ended. Blogs like this one will just vanish into the ether of the web. The downside to all of this, however, is that I'm heading off with less cash than I had planned, so I hope the fish are biting (and the price of fuel changes tune). The money will come eventually, so I know that it's money in the bank. I just hope that by then I'm not paying back most of it on my credit card. No fear - I'm an enterprising (not so) young man and so far the plan is coming together pretty much exactly as I hoped. i can't see any reason that trend won't continue. It's all good.    
18-07-2007 17:41 travelling around and not taking your time i feel is a bit of a waste. stretch it out make it a working holiday and it can last years....mine did. i have no idea of your trade/profession/occupation but i bet you can find work. by staying longer in places you really get to know the area, the people and most importantly the fishing spots.... cheers 18-07-2007 17:54 btw if you run out of cash in queensland you can always camp at my place until you get sorted. heaps of work in mackay... 18-07-2007 18:07 I will be taking my time mate - at least 18 months. The only reason I'll breeze through the southern end is to get to the warmth faster. I intend to get back to SA, TAS, VIC and NSW (in that order) on the arse end of the trip. 18-07-2007 18:09 oh, and thanks for the offer mate. I have quite a friends in QLD, so I'll be alright there I reckon. I will stop in for a beer and a fishing trip or two though, for sure. :-) 19-07-2007 08:03 actually i am jealous, i would love to be able to take off again. i fav distination is the kimberley in WA, what a great spot. el questo station is a must see spot mate, you should be able to safely yak in the gorge, plenty of barra there. if you a heading that way keep in mind that it basiccally closes down for the wet season october to march from memory cheers carl Only registered users can write comments.
