Day 47 - Thursday 16/11/2006
Stranded in Nairobi!
Well it couldn't happen in a nicer place and it's not my bike that's the delay, as I am sure some of you out there might have been thinking.....Anyway, there is a real problem with Nick's power and also, perhaps even more worrying, was his buggered rear shock . Anyway, as I write this, Nick is back at Marshariki Motors (BMW) test riding it, mainly to see if the power problem has been resolved. So, touch wood, tonight when he gets back, actually when we meet up at Nondies Rugby club later, he will have good news.
Its been a week since we arrived and I think we maybe putting some weight back on, could it be the Tusker intake? We are both itching to get back on the road, realistically that may only be early next week now. We will have to wait and see how long FedEx takes to deliver and then Kenyan Customs clearance......
Well, have to dash, as I have a beer returns run to do to the Karen Dukas, Oh and via the bottle bank! Sorry nothing exciting happening at the Moment.
NG
P.S.
For Anthony: May have you sorted for the Parkands & Kenyan Open next October, suggest you start saving!

Does anyone ever know which Nick is Nick? I'm thoroughly confused!
Well done guys, lots of generous donations still arriving. the charity account is looking good
Dear Anonymous,
You can tell them part either by:
1.Red Nick- being the 'Clic' corner, tall grey and thinks he's handsome and falls off whilst riding. Appreciating the scenery, architecture and the shape of the bottle the alcohol comes in.
OR
2. Blue Nick-being the 'EDA' corner, shorter, 'cant touch the ground whilst I'm stationary on the bike so keep falling off', hates camping, can be addicted to fanta. Appreciates a country that has alcohol full stop!
Does that solve your problem anonymous!
If anyone else can add to this dilemma and help anonymous your comments would be appreciated.
