Sydney
Here is a photo just before the tranformation of the trike. OZ trikes kindly lent me an old VW beetle engine to use while tried to drum up some sponors to finish the trip around the world. The funny thing was when I met the guys to give back the engine they had enquire asking if the "Yellow Mantis" was there latest design. Well I had a good laugh out of it.
This photo is of Ted Simon the author of a book called "Jupiters travels". It was a best seller and has sold more than 400,000 copies. I met Ted in San Fansico while he was prepare to travel around the world again at the sprightly age of 72. He was kind enough to come and see me in Sydney and fit me into his busy schedule. We sat and talked at a small cafe close to where I was working the trike fittng the engine. He had been asked the same question mant times before I could tell I wanted to know how he was going to cross the border at Pakistan. His answer was a surprise. His book is a great adventure crossing the world on a motorcyle back in the 70's. I suggest you look out for his next book and read "Jupiters travels" you will understand why I also travel.
Met this guy on Australia Day. From England he had done more travelling than myself.
