Hi from Australia - well in Beijing atm.
 

Hi guys,

Just joining but have been using the website for a while for research. Right now I am in Beijing and about to head on the Transmongolian to Moscow for a bit, then flying to London where I am buying a bike to ride around Europe for about 8-10 months, then freighting it to South America to meet up with some friends there and we are going to ride there for about 6 months.

I have a video blog at www.thegreatgallivant.com which I update every week. I am going to also do a more detailed, motorbike oriented ride report here once I get the bike.

I arrive in London in a fortnight to buy the bike. I have spent a while researching and have a British license waiting for me at my mums house, which was a mission and a half to get, but will allow me to register and insure the bike. Luckily I have a British passport that has made this easier and was part of why I chose London.

Cheers, Jackson

Hi. Welcome. Bear in mind you'll be arriving in northern Europe in mid winter. Remember the long-johns.

Cheers, yeah wearing the long johns already. It's was a nice -2 or so at the great wall yesterday. Going to invest in a heated vest. Lowest temp I have ridden in so far is 4 degrees.
