Big Blue Arrives Home

After an early morning start, five in the morning, it was in the van and off to Rotherham for our first sighting of big blue.
After a welcome cup of tea big blue was brought out of the shed and into the sunlight, it was obvious that big blue had been used and had been looked after in some ways but she was in need of some TLC after all she was seven years old.
Further investigation of her revelled that some mechanical work was going to be needed, this was not to much of a problem as already had Phil the engineer from the diving section and Phil from Ireland Motorcycles Barnstaple (ex-racer) on side so the mechanical brains for the rebirth of big blue were ready and waiting.
The deal was done; big blue was loaded into the van for the return trip home. After fourteen hours on the road we arrived back home, with the bike that will taking me to DAKAR.
