Thanks, 50+ friends

Couple of specifics -

Yes, the bikes have new owners. They are friends from the group I bike with. The term of sale is - have them, give them back if I stay close, keep them and pay for them if I don't.

I'm out of Bahrain soon. A multinational based in Saudi Arabia wants me - they have 8 operating Co.s in Saudi, 4 in Brazil, 3 in Russia, 3 in China ---might be interesting. If that comes through, I'll take the bikes to Saudi with me. Saudi location is just 3 hours away in the pickup truck. And I can pop back most weekends to see friends and have a maltade and some French fruit juice.

If not, I'll be wobbling around in UK with Mr Stap and shivering in any temperature lower than 85 F

Will keep the forum posted. Clarity might focus in a week or so

(And thanks and memories to all brave soldiers today)
