We are going to Turkey but from the opposite direction, Russia, Georgia, Turkey and may then head to the south coast depends on how long it takes to ride round the black sea. Andy.

Well...............I'm already a day behind. Because if it could go wrong it has. Most importantly my V5 doc for the bike is nowhere to be found. It simply isn't in the purple folder with the four other vehicles V5. Any idea where it might be? ( I have looked under carpets )  
Update a few hours later. Gave up looking ordered a new one. Got an email temp V5 to cover me .........hopefully ?
