Update of 26/05/2002 Not exactly an action packed week…Ie nothing related to riding accomplished. Due to rain the only thing I managed was to get the bike re-registered and insured. More news related to the SPAM last week, a Nigerian group who is doing a similar was caught out. I think I read it in the Newswire site but not sure. The scam is to lure you to their country and make you pay for the ‘transaction fee’ apparently they hold you hostage Ie loss of life etc… until you pay. Quite a few people are duped every year and are too embarrassed to come forward. The local authorities do not really care or can’t do anything about it, so you are on your own. Essentially, don’t bother with anything related to money making scams from the usual countries.

Just a note, I’ve been getting mail from various sources over the past month requesting my location. Well since I’ve got 20 of the damn things over the past week I suspect something is amiss – for obvious reasons. I shall keep you informed…
