Sydney to London on a105cc Honda callled Dot

[Klay]

Fix her up and keep going.

[throttle twist]

I salute you Sir, for a fantastic thread, adventure and for the gigantic brass balls you have, for attempting and dare say i ahead of it happening, successful journey that I would love to do.

Please keep posting! Having ridden a CT 110 here in Aus I am gobsmacked at what you have accomplished so far. Loving this, ride safe and the white cliffs of dover are surely not far away!

[Game over]

If Dot doesnt make it....you have to shave.

Low on oil, rattles and vibrates a bit when the revs climb beyond a certain point? I be thinkin' mains and possibly big end bearing.

Not to worry, keep the revs below the point where the ol' girl vibrates and she will take you home, no sweat. Thrash her into the "Vibe Zone" and you'll kill her poor soul pretty quick

Stick with it Nathan and Dot, we all want to see you both cross the finish line together and intact.

Take care
Allan

You may find if it's a later C90 engine it is smaller than the 110 engine...the engine in the postie bike i had was more like the ATC110 engine without the pull start.
Easiest way to tell is by the 4 cylinder head nuts, 12mm headed on the 110cc engines and usually 10mm headed on the C90's
The distance between the rear mounting bolts is different and you need an adaptor..... http://www.dratv.com/adchtob.html

Be a shame for your dad to travel out and find it does not fit

Hope you don't need the engine swap and best of luck Nathan

Almost there Nate. Keep your rpms down and baby her home and you should be in good shape mate.

Not sure how I'm going to carry on with my life after you get home and stop posting. Your posts are a daily ritual for me, first place I go, before email, doing my teeth taking a s...........well you know.

Take care on the 'easy' part of the journey home-specially since they moved Germany-I sent an email to the Euro parliament asking them to move it back!

If you make it to the states and down the left (and coolest coast) you and Dot have a place to stay in the Seattle area with a fellow Brit-from Bradley-near Skipton/Keighley Yorks.

I'd have offered to pick up dot in the works transit van and carry her back to Scarborough but (and this sounds like a lame excuse I know) I'm working that weekend Wouldn't have cost you a penny either, utter utter arse, who in there right minds want machines fixing at the weekend.

It could still work if you can get Dot to lemington spa at some time on the Sunday. I'm working in a food factory there, unfortunately i don't know what time I'll be finished so you'll either have to leave dot with me and continue home with your parents or wait around for me to finish the job. Either way dot will get home on Sunday. If I get finished early enough I'll drive down to meet you if needed.

That is if your not already sorted out

[Motodisiac]

If Dot made it this far, she will bring you home with no problem. I think you will ride it all the way home after short stop in London

Dude, where have all the handstand shots gone????

Post a few more handstand pics before Blighty. Please!

What he said.

But let's try asking Dot nicely - one or two unplanned stoppies might encourage old fuzzface into the handstand position. See what you can do, please Dot? A few European handstands will be important for the book...

...talking of which, "Delivering the Postman" could be a Title contender?

I'll try to get down to Dover.

Nat: Thanks for the most excellent adventure. It has been comical, stressful, inspiring, enlightening and suspenseful. Thanks for sharing your personal revelation of your Dorothy. My Dorothy calls loudly, but so do my family obligations, so it’s cool to live an adventure through you. Don’t be too hard on us guys who dream but don’t execute, obligations come in many forms, not all of which are easy to shed.
I know you reckoned that completing your journey without Dot would still satisfy your Dorothy, but I can only hope that you do it on Dot. Put your other motor in, whatever it takes. Perhaps a visit from your Dad would be refreshing at this point. I know she’s not “alive” but that bike took you this far, finish on her!!

Dot: Ride on baby! You’ve been a trusty stead. We all know and appreciate that quality. Take Nat home. You can do it.

Regards...Wes

Nate and Dot:

You will make it! I know you will! Just as you are. My best to you and Dot for fair skies and fair roads the rest of the way. Hooray!

Cheers,
