frank the man
Frank, the man for all occasions. Bike traveller extroadinaire, sidecar flipper, paperwork hero. Everyone needs someone like Frank to help them out on an o/s expedition. He gave hints on locations, road sign reading, Australian lingo (he's been to Australia twice and spent a year travelling around it on his sidecar with his girlfriend Jenny), he even talked his way into me getting some leather pants (you know what I mean). Frank showed me the sights on his sidecar, helped me pick up the scooter from Jorn in Flensburg, gave advice on motorbike gear and everything else, forced me to eat too much German food and was even handy with a sewing machine. A German, never leave home without one.

You are a REAL German scooterist now! "It's all about the leather pants". Do they lace up at the sides?

Good luck and may your motoroller not blow up on the autobahn!

Thanks for the blind faith guys!

Leather pants are all the rage in Germany, and I hardly look out of place - even though I have the ones with the strings down the sides and the cutout cheek areas.

Their going *straight* in the cupboard when I get home though.

Wham!

haha thanks Frank. Your probably right about the pants. They took a while to get used to - and even some girls in a hostel saw them on my bed and commented that they thought they were sharing the room with a gay guy. Im doing my best to give the pants a straight face - and will continue to do so once back in my homeland.
