Two bits of good news:

(A) The belts (4 of them!) Allen sent arrived at 3:30pm.  Better late than never!  The shop was ready and installed the belt in about an hour.  YAY!!!  Ian thinks it sounds a little different - a new growl that wasn't there before.  We'll take it easy as we ride north tomorrow.  We have an appointment for service in Darwin on Monday.  Fingers crossed everything holds until then.

and

(2) I'm only a week behind in the blog postings.  That's nearly up-to-date (for me, anyway).  Don't know what our connectivity will be like in the coming days, so please be patient and rest assured that all is ok.

Love and hugs to you all for your help (especially Allen) and messages of support / encouragement!
