A favoured loop... many thanks matey for sharing the ride through the photos and the words... the Nomad is still in hibernation, but her awakening is approaching... still snow up here on the ‘hill, as you could see from your photo overlooking Kimberley ski hill.

stay well, stay safe and enjoy as much as you can.

have a great one

Steve

Haven't posted in Journeys since the end of March, and the company has been in hibernation since then... waiting on the Government to restart Road Testing... we are ready to go, and once we start back up full time (doing a bit of work, but not enough to keep the wolf away from the door), we will hit the ground running... which means I cant go anywhere. Because I have to be here to orchastrate the re-spark and get it moving as smoothly as I can... Big Bend is off for the year, as well more than likely Sturgis... Not sure what rides I will do, but I am sure most of it will be later in the summer, and involve a lot of camping.

I got some new Tires for the Pan installed, but that is about it for the spring. I wont even put insurance on it for a while. I am toying with the idea of putting a Stage 2 torque kit into Darla, mostly for something to plan for and do. The thing is I don't really want to spend any coin, until I see the Revenue start coming back in the front door...

Welcome to The Great Wasteland of C-19...

thanks for the compliments. I own a truck driving school, but my crew mostly takes care of it now. I had to step back in for A while to take care of some things, and then C-19 popped up, so now I’m just waiting to get The company back to work full-time

I bet... we always recommend to students to get the physical first, before they commit, so there is no reason not to take the training or the Road Test.
