Fate changed our plans

Fate changed our plans for us. The bike can be repaired, but not in the timeframe that we need it to happen in. The cam chain tensioner failed and in the process seemed to've slid one or more tooth and in order to access the damage, the engine needs to come out. Being the peek holiday season here too, with only one mechanic, the Honda dealers wont be able to repair the bike by tomorrow and we need to be in Santander Wednesday night.

We're trying to get a van rented, load the bikes and head for Santander, wheel the bike on, drop the van and repeat the process across the UK. A bit different from the original plan, but in the spirit of "winging it" there's some serious winging ahead.

Keep us in your prayers, we're both a bit down in spirit.
