HI guys—I’m here in East Timor working on a contract in support of the Aussie Army who are trying to restore law and order. Been here for nine months and looks like another six to go. I thought about bringing the bike up here but the locals are always throwing rocks at us so it’s probably not a great idea. Apart from that, the roads are shit and the drivers, including the UN, are even shittier.
Hope you like the photo of the girls; the blue one is mine and the cute one is my son’s (Carla wanted to pose with the bike so who am I to argue).
Anyway, keep up the good work and I’ll catch up with everyone on the road when I get back.
PHIL PARKES, Dili, East Timor.
