I bet he's mute because he can't speak English and deaf because he cannot answer for the same reason ;-)))
No, bulldust - check the following link http://www.joesgarage.com.au/images/Nov8.jpg I missed him by a few days when I dropped in at Joe's Garage in Hobart. Matt, the owner, told me about Vlad. What an amazing guy!

longer than you think
This guy has been riding a lot longer than that. He started out on a 2 cylinder Jawa. I'm surprised nobody here knows who he is, despite the fact that he is one of the most famous overlanders currently riding.
I ran into him several years ago in San Francisco, when he was still on the Jawa. Here is a story from about four years ago... Vladimir Yarets - ADVrider and the wikipedia story Vladimir Yarets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and his own site Yarets Vladimir Alekseevich - Round The World Trip Last edited by spartacus; 16 Mar 2007 at 13:02.

The terrible way he was treated in America? Like when he crashed his Jawa and Americans got him a new BMW and all new gear right down to new clothes etc.? He wsan't charged a penny by the hospital or anyone else.
He has stayed at my house. He's deaf and he can make noises but he can't speak. Not even to a Russian friend of mine.
