THANK YOU BOYS! Motorider – San Salvador

A rather nasty incident with a cow on the border of Honduras and El Salvador left The Beast in a shaky state, with no windscreen!

After a couple of days at Motorider in San Salvador with T.L.C. from owners Julio and Oscar, and the mechanical expertise of Javier and his team, The Beast has a new made-to-measure windscreen and is roaring around like no man’s business.

Another worldwide incident followed as Mr P got talking at the garage with an orange KTM rider on his way down to Panama City. Noticing The Beast’s number plate, he politely asked Mr P if he had come across the renowned English ’round-the-world rider who lives there that he is hoping to meet…

Mr P, who is not un-partial to a wee bit of adulation, smiled a BRITISH smile and acknowledged that in fact, it’s him. He’s the ’round-the-world English rider, and a couple of hours later, they were still talking!

On a complete side note, Motorider is the official representative for Touratech, owned by our friends Herbert and Romana Schwarz.

An improvised trip to Europe – Mr. P & The Beast drive me to the airport in STYLE

An unexpected call got me packing up and organising a fast track trip to Europe.
With a KLM afternoon departure, it means you hit 5:00pm peek commute time in Panama, so getting to the airport only makes sense on the bike!

Packing up with the knowledge that you have all your favourite wardrobe pieces awaiting you London-side is easy! Armed with just a couple of glittery pieces from Greta Bayo, Espacio Vintage and Ana Francesca, I am done!

Getting to Tocumen International airport with a mini case strapped on the back of The Beast is a breeze, although a little sad when I see Mr. P, The Beast and my helmet drive away into the sunset.
