Now the cat is out the bag, Puddles did not leave me, she became the new "fearless leader" of a pack....

Now to get the report from her, no pressure >:D

P.S.  Check that "boereraat" with the ice on the GS650 (800cc) petrol pump to make it go, geniuses on the tour!  When petrol get close to half in very hot conditions the bike cuts out.  Got pump replaced this morning, now waiting for verdict as bike was exactly one month out of warrenty???

Known problem on the F800 (same pump) so if they get diffcult there are a couple of fault reports lying around on the F800 thread. Also have some mails that I sent through to BMW at a stage regarding this. Good to know that there is a workaround, be it a bit strange though.

Sorry, Hi-jack.
Hoofseun Check of die pyp wat van die pomp af gaan in die tenk n clamp op[ het. As daar nie n clamp is nie en die tenk raak onder half suig die pomp dalk n bietjie wind, dan begin die bike mis en vrek weens fuel starvation.


Hi-jack off.
 
To will the time away, here are some more pictures of the tour  :)
