I just read your technical advice on breaking tyre beads. On BMW's I have used and recommend using the centre stand! A two person exercise, with bike on centre stand one person leans the bike over on one side of the stand while the other person places the wheel under the other. Its then gently lowered and the weight on the bike pushes down one side of the stand onto the tyre popping it off the rim. Perform the operation a couple of times while the wheel handler turns it around a bit. It's so simple and effective I've used it in Moroccan deserts, Turkish roadsides and just outside Leh, Ladakh having travelled over the secoond highest pass in the world.

Very interesting, got my mind wandering! Wish I could do it sometime. Louis

Ed. Comment: You can - just stop wishing and decide to do it! We all started out wishing - but some decided to DO it - and once you make that decision, it's amazing how all the things that prevented you, suddenly become less of a stopper, and more of a simple difficulty to be sorted out.

Found the site today at work, while not technically working. Have been faithfully watching Ewen and Charley every Tuesday night, and now have a greater interest in trading my litre class sport touring bike in for something more suitable. You've got so much info here, I don't know where to start. Really impressed! It will make the off-season so much better. All the best, Glen.

Thank so much for helping change the law in Ecuador regarding temporary importation of vehicles. I will receive my pick up tomorrow here in Puerto Cabello and will finish in Cartagena, Colombia after driving to Ushuaia. I shipped it from California with Wallenius Wilhelmsen ($2500 for 31 cubic meters). They have quoted me roughly $500 to ship from Cartagena to Panama. I am very grateful because I was going to stop in Caracas just to acquire the libreta de paso. Just noticed the warning regarding ads. I hope that naming the shipping company does not violate rule.

Hello to all and was cruising around and found your site AND those comments by Heiko Neumann concerning the hostel guy of the Dawson City Hostel, Yukon. I was there the same time as Heiko and that other fellow he was mentioning (and he might not remember me since I normally stay away from arrogant buggers like him)............but have to say this: A) the hostel is just fine. B)The owner struck me as a nice helpful fellow. C) It seems some people have a hard time adjusting to "Rustic" - like the bath house and the old wood stove and the ides of having to split wood.......and NOT washing clothes in the bath house buckets :) D) I remember that Heiko fellow as a over-bearing know-all dripping with sarcasm as his only intellectual tool he knows how to use. All of you have a nice day, Calv.

grant, i was just at the meeting in creel, and it was the most eyeopening experience of my life. I came down on my virago 750, and we made it back last night (after tami experincing a broken leg in silver city, nv on the way to the gila cliff dwellings riding 2-up on duke's st1100, stupid sandy roads on a road bike!) anyway i have spent my whole first day back home searching for some kind of dual-sport bike that i can afford...ie..broke whitewater rafting guide in the fall. but your meeting has opened a whole new world to me, and i am hoping to get the bike and pratice to do "the trip" someday. because i felt that by creel mexico i was only just getting into the rythym, and want MORE! thanks grant, and everyone in creel that made a motorcycle meet more about life than the "scene"... Thanks MOMMER

I can't believe it!!! About 3 months ago i bought Ewan & Charlie's "the long way round" and that started me looking at net sites, i now have just got ted simmon's "jupiters travels". I found HU when i was surfin' and i can't believe how many people are travelling around the world on bikes. I have a 1985 Harley electra glide (striped of bat wings and crome bits) and i have done a few trips out from the Sunshine coast. My question is how do so many people get the money to keep travelling? do you have normal jobs? do you have your own business so you can take time off? and how do i convince my wife and three young kids that i need to go for a bike ride for 6 months. Does anyone want to be a temp husband and father for a while.

Hey I love your site. I've been inspired and last week I did a 500 to 600 mile trip from my home in upstate New York to Rhode Island and back solo on my stock 125cc 1979 Vespa. It was my biggest trip yet, and i love the looks when people say "you rode to Rhode Island on that?" It certainly won't be my last big trip. Perhaps a bigger bike is in my future, but you can't beat the gas milage on the 125cc! Every time I stopped to fill it up it was less than a third empty. Thanks!

If you havent been to one of the HU Travellers meetings dont miss out on next years.Ripley, UK was my first time and it was well worth it. I met some really interesting people who had been to some really great places. Everyone there has a story to tell or a trip planned. The talks given over the weekend were really inspirational and informative and the beer and food were good too! Well done to the organizers.I am really looking forward to visiting Morocco later this year.Alec

Editors comment - no surprise - there's 14,500 pages at last count! And Clay did figure it all out - his blog is soon to be listed on the Travellers Stories section.

Just browsing thru my BMW Club Journal and saw mention of this website. Spent all afternoon browsing it. Really think its great. Made me feel confident and comfortable about considering an RTW trip. A trip which has been in my head ever since I first read Ted Simons book Jupiters Travels some 30 years ago. Now slighly older some think I'm mad others sad. This afternoon was not a wasted day. I know now the day has come to be on my way. Thanks to you all. Brian

Brilliant website. Im currently in Schleiden in Germany. My rear tyre is practically dead from the Nurburg Ring, and i was panicing because i couldnt find information on tyre fitting places around here. Stumbled across the site, and got some useful information, as well as some names and telephone numbers of people who may be able to help. Giving them a call shortly. This site is potentially my saviour! Thanks for the information, and keep up the good work. "These are the days that must happen to us... absolutely!"

What a fantasic web site,had a ZZR250 after passing my bike test in 1991 and did 28000 miles in 18 months,except winter months. this also included doing the shopping, going to work and basic U.K. travel. I went to Berlin, fully "tented" up etc on it, slept in shop door ways, petrol stations, woods and motorway and park bench`s and two night`s at the Ritz in Paris (with the wife). What a wonderful way to live, while on your holidays. (beats staying in the pub all your life wacthing crappy football on Sky Sport`s). Then i got after that a GPZ500s, XT600e, F650gs, R1150r and now a TT600Re.Stay Safe one and All. :)

Hi Folks, I happened upon your HU site quite by accident and am impressed. Most of all I like the ability to update one's own travel tips whilst on the road. This is great!Am in the process of getting another bike and intend to ride out into the Great Sandy Desert (on a track, not willy-nilly) for a test run.Keep you posted. -cheers!

Hi there Susan and Grant, (ladies first again!) Well, I finally made it to your guestbook - and I finally have to say - the best site concerning bikes I have seen so far on the net. All the info I need right at the fingertip. And - maybe, one of these days my dream will also come true - riding, riding, riding - whereever the road will take me. But until then it is still quite a way to go - security comes first. Anyway, thanks for adding my page to your link list. And as I can see, you haven't been to Japan so far - at least not by bike. You are invited, whenever you come over here, stop by - the least I can offer you is some food, drinks and a place to sleep. Take care, safe riding and looking forward to hearing from you!

I was just informed about your site yesterday on 9-26-04 as I was camping at TWO(Two Wheels Only) campground in Suches,Georgia. I have taken numerous cross country trips here in the U.S., have traveled accross Canada and Alaska. My next trip will be to Copper Canyon in March 05, so I will be studying the information that you have published on the area. Wish that I could join you there in Oct. but I have other commitments. Very informative site for M.C. travelers. Thanks.

Hi Grant & Susan, At the 2004 International BMW Rally in Spokane I attended your Friday night seminar after Chris and Erin Seminar. I have received your e-magazine for a few years. Your website is amazing. I have gotten lots of useful information of your site. I was also impressed by your seminar and the great tips received. The next day I rode beside your white elephant and it made me proud to be seen with you guys. Thanks for keeping this website going. See you guys in October in Mexico. Cheers Ruby

Still the best RTW / motorcycling website bar none. I was planning a basic trip from London to Croatia but have now decided to ask my employer for a six months sabatical and try to ride Canada, USA, central and south America (top to bottom) in 2005. After 27 years' service (and one divorce) I figure they owe me something! I went to see GlobeBusters husband and wife team after their RTW record breaking jaunt. Your site and their talk - truly inspirational! Cheers, Richard Nash.

Hi Susan & Grant: what a great and pleasant surprise to discover your site. I'm an old biker (will be 60 next year) and although I'm presently bikeless (due to a hopefull momentarily and somewhat delicate financial situation), I shall return to the community sooner than my neighborhood think!!! Meanwhile I'm dedicating my weekends and spare time to bicycling, a bit too furiously according to my relatives. Susan and Grant, to make it short: I just want to make it plain that if you both should show up at my hometown (Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil), anytime, don't look for a hotel - You'll be my guests, I have room enough for a couple (and bikes!) and maybe we could have a nice glass of Cabernet while listening to a string quartet - Schubert, Beethoven - or even Roger Waters, why not? That's it. God speed, as I once heard in Zermatt. Jorge.

My boyfriend and I are riding through Turkey and found a great place to stay in Selcuk. It is a very 'bike friendly' place called Hotel Akay. The owner is a rider and can help hook you up with parts in Izmir (close by). There are lots of nice day trips tp do around this area, and of course the ruins of Ephesus. Now off to the south coast to find some more of this great Turkish hospitality!

This is a fantastic website. Almost every time I look something I need up using Google, I'm directed to a part of HU! (or Chris Scott's site). I'm going to be riding a Honda NX650 Dominator from London to Cape Town, down the west hopefully as far as Cameroon/Eq. Guinea and Sao Tome, then airfreighting to Kenya and down the east side to CT. I've given up my job so it doesn't matter how long it takes, but I reckon up to a year. I plan to leave London at the start of October 04. It may amuse you to know that I only passed my bike test 2 months ago. A holiday in Greece in summer 03 with hiring of 125's led to my current state of excited unemployment. Anyone doing anything similar, see you on the "road"! Thanks also to Bike Magazine's Dan Walsh for monthly inspiration...

A friend has let me use his, until now new-ish, Chang Jiang 750, ( sidevalve 1937 design BMW) with sidecar, here in Chengdu (west China). I have "done" about 800kms so far, the bike 980kms. Its a little different from the Triumph Sprint ST I had back in Australia, but am enjoying the experience, and enjoying the motorbike. In fact am considering buying one and riding it to Europe, next spring. The sidecar is very stable at all speeds, seems to be built like a tractor and with only petrol and a spark to worry about, offers the simplicity that modern bikes lack. A new one here in China costs about 15,500rmb for a sidevalve, or 16,500rmb for OHV. I found your site through cj750.com. the Sth African importer. I have been in China 3 years, teaching "the English", the last year here in Chengdu, Sichuan. Should anyone visiting your site want info in relation to China, happy to help. If you are considering a trip to China, a good place to start is by reading the travel guides plus a few books like "River Town", "Life and Death in Shanghi", and "Wild Swans". cheers, David Finlay.

Greetings from Indiana, usa. 10-9-03M words of praise to this web site, thank you. In 1968 when I was 19 I decided to journey my way to Alaska to see the land of the midnight Sun. Well, my timing was a bit off as I went there on a 100 dirt bike 10,000 miles round trip at the wrong time of the year but, not to worry since at this age nothing realy mattered but just get there. My trip was september 1st thru november 30. Just made it home in time for the first real COLD in Indiana. I have many stories to tell about the trip as one could imagin but my real Journey was in 1996 when I returned on another Motorcycle where I could go faster and really make some time which took me 30 days and this time I went with time available to be at Prudhoe Bay Alaska on the 21 st of the June month just to see the Midnight Sun as I wanted to do the first time. And wow what an experience which I shared with a friend from England on this day. We keep in touch now as we became fast friends being interested in the very same thing. (24 hours of Sun light). Thank You for the space here and enjoy the 2003 fall of the year as I do Tim Orr, Indianapolis

I would still recommend that anyone starting out fresh goes with 'soft' pannniers which are cheaper and easier to make - you can even adjust small back-packs for this purpose and these are cheap to buy these days. The problem with the aluminium (or other) boxes is that when you fall off - even at low speeds - they can damage the bike - (and passenger). My suggestion also comes with its fair share of problems but you can sew, cut, velcro, stud and clip these where it suits you.

Thanks the photos are great. We took scouts from Australia to south america 3 years ago. Looking at your photos reminded me of the great time we had and what a beautiful place it is. We had 7 weeks over there saw chile argentina, bolivia, peru, brazil, patagonia and went up to Los Angeles. Would love to get back ther one day.

I will be checking out you site to get information on travel in india (motor on jeff)

Hi Susan & Grant, Came across your site by accident... two of my past interests have been travel and motor bikes. Apart from touring France and Spain by bike in 1953 I have not combined the two very much since!! I Spent most of my working life in east Africa and Arabia before moving to Canada. Sold my last bike when I was 71 years. Really enjoy your site, full of interest keep up the good work. Rgds Alan

At any rate, your site has quickly become my favorite. It is an enormous inspiration to me, and I'm sure to many others around the world as well. You're doing a wonderful job, I just hope you still find time for your adventures. Wade

Hello Grant&Susan!! GRADULATIONS on a Great "PAGE". I have learned so much from reading the many articles. I can't stay away. As a newbie w/a new Goldwing I am looking forward to some long trips this summer. Maybe BC as we have been there before by car. Peggy and I did Baniff, Jasper and across the provence to Pr. George and Pr. Rupert then the ferry to Victoria. Great country!! She is not a biker so I will be coming alone. Did you get my contribution? Got to get back to more stories. So long until tomorrow!!

I am enjoying your site a lot, and am only part way through it. I am also a long distance rider. Two trips to Baja, in 2000 I went down to Panama City and back, a 2 monther through Europe in '72, and innumerable trips around our beautiful Northwest. I broke dpwn and bought a Harley last year, to try one out and I quite like it, but my alltime favorite bike is a Kawasaki K.L.R. 650, simplicity, and reliability at it best. I am working on an extensive Europe, Scandanavia, North Africa trip next year, and want to do Australia and Kiwi in the future. My 24 yr. old daughter and I did a California, Grand Canyon trip in Sept. She just got her licence and a new KLR., and we had a ball. My wife doesn"t really like long distance riding, but does not hold me back. She will come to "safe Europe" though. I loved Central America absolutely. Anyway I will not bore you any more, and I will continue to work my way through your great site. If in the area you would be welcome in our house.

Oh my, this site is overwhelming. So much good stuff. 20 years ago I took a Suzuki GS400 from Boston to the Northwest Territories (amazing trip). The bike was stolen in the Yukon and I finished my trip to Inuvik on a plane, but I would love to get into motorcycling again. This site has been profoundly helpful in refining my dream. I am very grateful for all the trip narratives (keep them coming!). The equipment links have been even more helpful. Yup, gotta get me a bike and hit the road.

Great site, my wife stumbled across it while doing a search on Norway, we have often wished for just such a life. I have been into motorcycles since getting my first dirt bike in '71, I did a fair bit of touring in my single years, and my wife toured with me between '85 &'97, but we have a 5yr old daughter that has severely cut into my motorcycling. I ride (whenever I have a chance) a '85 FXRS Harley Davidson that currently has about 150,000 miles on it. In recient years (4) I have been lucky to get 5000 miles per year. For several years I pulled a Tinymite delux tent trailer behind my Harley but sold that once our daughter was born. I sold my wife's bike several years ago because it wasn't getting used but hope to get her another one to go touring as a family once our daughter is a bit older. For the time being since we are not touring on two wheels I have been taking our family off road in an old Jeep. Our daughter loves Jeep's &Harley's... . I have built a homepage as well (photos of jeep'n as well as one page of biking photos), nothing comercial about it. Drop in for a look at... http://communities.msn.ca/SavageCJ

Excelent site. Grant &Susan's RTW saga was a superb read. As I have travelled extensively in north and central Africa, your description of Egyptian bureaucracy comes as no suprise. Places I recommend, Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada(Egypt), Club Makokola(Malawi), Casablanca to Marakesh(Atlas mountains) as well as Agadir to Dachla(Sahara Desert)by road(Morroco). Senegal is nice, Ghana too, Cameroon has decent roads, but do not attempt Nigeria under any circumstances.

hi guys! thank you for this phantastic site for motorcycle-travellers. We are on 2 F650`s of bmw in iran right now and on the way to australia. unfortunately hit a truck one of our bikes parked near the road and damaged it badly, so we had to go back from zahedan to teheran to fix it again, ofcourse by truck!!! the frame was bandet, the fork as well and the wheel completely damaged. darius got a new wheel from a rear of a 250 kawasaki and a tyre from a 175 yamaha, the guys at the only one bmw-garage in iran, nouriani-bmw, could straight the frame and the fork. we hope to reach pakistan next week without any other troubles!!! take care gitti &darius

This really is one fantastic site!! Congratulations to everyone involved with it. In 1967-68 I drove a Honda CB 450 from Ottawa, Canada to Buenos Aires, Argentina. 90% of the time I rode alone - mainly because people had convinced themselves that if they had the money they didn't have the time/if they had the time they didn't have the money. It is a wonderful argument that covers all eventualities. I'm glad to see from the comments/stories on this website that there are a few people who are willing to take a small risk to enjoy a trip of a lifetime. Don't even bother trying to explain to people why you want to make such a trip - they have a thousand reasons why you shouldn't. Anyway, you only end up confusing yourself. Congratulations to all of you.

What a great site !! I'm a teacher in Blantyre, Malawi and I'm planning to do some touring on a bike from there at the end of my contract in a years time. It was really fantastic to read your account of the Malawi stage of your trip. I am glad you liked Malawi so much, you abviously got under the skin of the country from your observations on the tourist facilities and the rediculous prices for the lodges. I camp where ever I go in Malawi, it is vastly cheaper than the lodges (usually 1 to 2 USD per night but more in the National Parks). You can even camp in Lilongwe at the golf club (surprisingly nice site) or Kiboko lodge iboth in the centre of town and about 100 times cheaper than the hotels. But the people.....they really make the country don't they?? It is a magic place, you are able to talk to anyone at all, I have never felt threatened by a Malawian in the three years I have been there. You also don't ever have to worry about break downs as in a country so small and with such a high pop. density you are never far from another person and you can guarentee that they will go out of there way to help you out of and mess you might be in !! Keep on tripping and keep up the good work on the site. DEN

Hello; My name is Hermalene and at the end of August, first of September I will be leaving Deadhorse, Alaska for a women's record run of the Pan American Highway. My first question, is there a women's record for this highway because I cannot find one. Second question, I need to find Dr. Gregory W. Frazier's e-mail address because I have been trying to find a copy of his book Riding South. It has been very helpful to me during the planning stages of my trip and I would like to carry a copy with me. I have been unable to find one through Amazon or other book store sources. My husband Ed will be supporting me during my record attempt. Thank you for your help.

i just left San Pedro Sula and Copán Ruinas in Honduras. We had to pay at the border to get out of Honduras but it was called a tip. The last president of Guatemala paved all the roads so the trip from Guatemala City to Tikal is only 8 hours. I really loved Honduras. It has such natural beauty. It also has incredible poverty. An Honduran friend told me that Casa Alianza is a good organization to donate money too. They help people in Guatemala and Honduras. I'm sure if you travel back through Guatemala and Honduras, you will find many changes for the better but more people. Honduras has a huge private security force bigger than the army.

Hi Grant, the newsletter simply gets better, but some time ago you were compiling a list of people who had done RTW on unusual bikes or old ones. I told you about Theo from Belgium, what happened to the rest. In 2 years my girlfriend and I intend to ride overland UK to Oz with a couple of 1970's Bonnevilles, apart from Ted Simon on his 500 Triumph, and Richard and Mopsa with thier 750 Tiger combination I don't know of anyone else, do you.

Its been an excellent source for bike & trip preparation, I thought this little quote might sum up how I feel as I prepare for my adventure and share it with fellow adventurers: "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat".

Hey Grant & Susan Great site amazing amount of info & links. I wish I had seen it when I did my trip. From 4/96-4/98 I rode my Harley around the globe 18 countries 4 continents. My adventures seem tiny to what I have been reading of your trip. Like most who take off for what ever reason it's the 1st mile & the desire to follow the dream. If you get deterred by the 1st hardship or discomfort , my advice to anyone who's thinking of the big trip is to stay on the couch because there's plenty more to come. But I am the type who likes to see for myself, solve the problem & look for the good in everything just because there is good in everyting. So like the slogan says JUST DO IT!!! Take Care, FREDDIEHD RTW 96-98

Good to find a site that relates to our chosen mode of travel. My long distance riding habit started in Delhi when I was 50 and needed to get back to the UK. Buying an Enfield 500 Bullit made for a very steep and interesting learning curve. The steepness was due to never having riden a motor bike before, however 37 days later after one or two drops ( abandonings, better to get off early I always say )I considered myself a biker. I then in 95,went completly mad and bought a brand new BMW, model F 650, shiped it to Hong Kong and then rode it back to good old BLIGHTY. I have used these bikes ever since for long distance work. In fact there is one at this very moment bobbing about on the high seas en route to the Falkland Islands. When I arrive there at the end of december we will be re united and fly on to Punta Arenas. My Intention is to be in Alaska by the end of June 2001. If any one wants to make contact please feel free. Thanks to you both for having the forsight to provide this superb platform for our communications. Regards Grandad Geoff (silly old fart)

Hi there, I've been in and out of your site several times over the past year and get inspired each time! I really like your theory of combining travel and career as a lifestyle, I hope to do the same. I am a Canadian citizen (also an ex-motocrosser!) and have been living and working in Sydney Australia for the past 3 years. More than likely I will begin the first portion of my RTW trip by circling Oz before moving on. I got hooked a few years ago when I did a 10 day trip from Calgary to Vancouver Island (half highway/half off-road) and ever since have longed for the day when I can actually take a year or two off and do more of the same! Thanks for the inspiration. Take care.

Excellent site! When I can't be on the road, I enjoy armchair motorcycle adventuring by proxy, and your links are the best I've found. In my younger years I used to travel overland on a Honda 50 and later a Honda 305. Not exactly touring bikes, but there wasn't much traffic back then and often there was a love interest at the end of the line, which made freezing my tail off in central Wyoming nominally bearable. today my bike is a 1978 BMW R80/7, and I'm not so much racing toward love as I am running from Father Time. Or, in the immortal words of Andrew Marvell: "At my back I hear/time's winged chariot drawing near." It's no match for an air-cooled Beemer! - R.M.
