Just received… cool…. We plan your motorcycle by Thai Airways on 19 May 2009 from BKK to KTM because we are waiting paper of dangerous goods certificate to be finished first. And personal staff of Thai Airways in Katmandu that they will be contacted you for confirmation flight details of shipment. We would like you [...]

Evening all, Sorry it’s been so long since I updated you. I’ve sort of just drifted off into the ether and only today landed again. But i’m back on planet earth now so I thought I’d start by sharing this old tale I’ve written for a local newspaper about a ride I’ve just been on; [...]
