Strider is in the staff house in Luanda, Angola that is....  Sad

Amazing at the work they have done tearing the burnt down office down and now - reconstruction begins! (Wait, can a southern boy say that?"

Anywho - got to London and got on the tube and got off somewhere and walked around (it is an adventure after all) and came across the British Musuem (finally)....

NEAT PLACE!






ALL KIND OF NEAT STUFF TO SEE INSIDE...And of course, guess what?  My batteries in my camera died!  That had this awesome helmet that was made for a Valkyrie Rider - trust me.  Don't worry, I think I am going back on my trip home and I will get some shots.

They had all kind of mummies and stuff!

"Hey Baby, Come here often?  Ya know, you don't look bad at all!  Are you sure you are really 3000 years old?  I swear, you don't look a day over 1500!  You really know how to take care of yourself!"



After I left there, I walked down to the market and over to the theater district and found chinatown again (I found it by accident on the way home last time).  Went to a noodle shop and dug on some chinese as my last recognizable meal for awhile.

GREAT STUFF!!!!  I figure after 20 hours on airplanes and 7 hours in air ports - this qualifies as a "road trip"



Well, since I got here - nothing to do at night EXCEPT PLAN FOR THE WYATT AND BILLY MAGICAL MYSTERY - HISTORY TOUR (aka TWO CAJUNS SEARCH FOR THE MONSTER MUDBUG) - coming soon to a website near you!

Loaded streets and trips on my company PC and been streetin' and trippin' (mainly trippin' dreaming of this ride).  Hard6 and I have wanted to make this ride for 2 years now and it got cancelled the first year for some reason and last year because of my job in Africa.  Almost got cancelled this year, but we figured, "What the hay, we got the time (ain't really got the money but so what?  Can always collect cans on the way.)  So, the Magical Mystery - History Tour looks like it is going to happen towards the end of June - CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

STAY TUNED FOR REPORTS!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Man, it sure is going to be good to share miles, smiles and wind with a friend again!!!!  This is going to be a LOOOOOOOONG 5 weeks!  Oh yeah, and Red gave me the go ahead to do it.  I was telling her today that this was going to be a long hitch and she said, "Yeah, but you have a ride when you get home!"  Yeah, I do.......don't I?

WOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!  You know, I think we started planning this trip during THIS trip......A long time coming!




Safe winds everyone!!!! Back to Streets and Trips!!!!

Glad to see ya' made it there safe and sound... Sorry if you've gone over this already, I haven't been hanging around here much until lately, but you staying on shore or go off shore in Angola?

I know it's boring as snot for you, but I'm fascinated by it over there... Spent a few months north of you in Gabon over the last few years, and would do it again in a heart beat... Not so sure I'd wanna be a rotator and do it all the time though!

Hey Strider,
I am at Hal's CT yard in NI on Hangar Dr this week teaching a class to the SL guys on Pressure Control..
I figured it was about time for you to go back east though. I'm glad you had a safe trip over though ..
Stay safe!

Man, wish I would have been home - the coffee would have been on me bro.....

Let me tell ya, I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MAGICAL MYSTERY-HISTORY TOUR RIDE!  You know, two brothers, on the road, enjoying the wind and freedom and...searching for America........

This is going to be a good one!  Sent the initial plan to JP this morning....Looking like about a 5000 mile loop right now.



I know we spent over 5000 miles two years ago running out west and HAD A BALL!!!!  We found parts of America that are near and dear to our hearts now.....



IT WAS THE PERFECT TRIP THAT YEAR!

I hope this one is as good - I am sure it will be.
