So I had the pleasure of meeting Charles in person late Saturday night when for reasons beyond my control the G650GS he was riding developed a small oil leak and needed to be traded out for the the F650GS.
In good spirits about the whole thing we got to talking that night as he crash with me in Carrol Gardens.
A true Adventure Biker Charles gave me a copy of Chris Scott's Adventure Motorcycling Handbook - something I have wanted to buy but could never find in paper back in the stores. If you are a purest you will understand to purchase such an item in person not in a store. As a result his gift to me of this book will mean that much more when you plan our NYC to Chile Adventure.
Problems are apart of any journey whether in life or on the road. How we relate ourselves to them and carry on is the key to a happy and full life. Charlie understood that - not only in our conversations about riding but how he carries himself in life.
I am fortunate for having met him and am the better for it. Thanks
See you in the UK or on a trip from NYC to LA soon.
