The BEST last mail: Ever!

Arrived at London's Heathrow Airport last night: The weather: rain, rain, fog.... AND nobody to meet me (AHH), nobody at home (AHHHHHHHH).... went for a pint down the pub - on my own (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) - in the rain (I AM SO SAD, CHRISSIE, MY HEART BLEEDS FOR YOU, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)...

As Bob Dylan, helped by Peter Jacob and Michael O'Sullivan sang to/at me last Friday night in Milano's on Houston St. in Manhattan, NY... 'Chris Bright, how does it feel?' Anyway, before you run out the house and jump in front of a bus, I better stop this b****cks :-)

So, there we are. 2 and a half years, a few borders, 65000 miles on 2 bikes, 1800 U.S. gallons of fuel, 5 front tyres, 11 back tyres, 5 shock absorbers, 1 bike nearly expired, hit/kicked 6 dogs (killed 1), 1 sheep (killed it: that was the big African crash), 1 chicken (stunned), a half eaten cheese sandwich, 2 big bangs (in both of which I was very very luck), lots of grey hair, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so many broken hearts (yeh right, my a*se), many new friends made, more fun than I could have imagined, a life lived... and now it's all over....

Chris Bright, how does it feel? For the answer you'll have to buy me a beer. Don't you feel sorry for me? I wouldn't for you, if roles were reversed.

The future is unclear: In the very short term: 'Enlighten young minds (Oh Great Teacher, teach us all you know) and then... I have a few cleverly crafted cunning stunts to conjured up.

The tour to Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego was fun. I managed to banish a few demons from last time round. Enjoyed riding the KLR650 so much, on a whim, I bought one and parked it in Argentina! Yet another excuse to return to my favourite continent.

If you click here you can read what I and others thought of certain events concerning Goaty. You really will have to buy me many beers if you want me to talk about this again.

If you click here, there are even a couple of shots including me. Chris and Erin Ratay's full story is here.

I think I'll leave it there. I am busy getting my thoughts together.

If you're helped me on my trip: Thanks!
If you've written to me: Thanks!
If you've met me: Hope you enjoyed my company!
If you've enjoyed reading my emails: Great!

Later,
Chris Bright and Norman, how does it feel?
