When there's a mechanical crisis...


...Jason and Chris decide the best solution is to pull their trousers down. Children. We're working on getting a new chain while the guys have their special moment. Hey ho.

  1. Well spoke to the Guy at the Honda Dealer in my best Spanish and he can help them - the dealer is about 1 hour from their current location. When you’re in the poo – who do you call? - Good old Dad

  2. OK boy pull up your trousers, were looking for some proper and useful ‘tools’ to get the Honda Trans Alp back on the road

  3. Have sent you a text to forward on for when they reach the parts shop. Push comes to shove, you're looking for Moto Expert on +33 4 68 54 90 53.

    I'll be around for the whole weekend (not like I have a choice!) so just shout if you need help when he gets there.

    Just be grateful that this happened in France and not Spain, since I wouldn't have been able to help there!

  7. 16:10 Just spoke with Chris R and it seems that they are still at the France/Spain border - had a nightmare with the repair of the chain. They should be mobile in next 30 minutes.
