Done. Complete. What I hoped to achieve I did. Around the world solo on my bike. I had some extraordinary good luck and very little bad luck. I met and was helped by some extraordinary people and was lucky to avoded any potential "bad people" scenarios !!

This has been a great adventure - everything I had hoped for and more. I had intended to go with a couple of like-minded guys which didn't work out in the end, so I travelled solo ... except some time in Canada with Mark and the run through the Gobi with Klaus, which was very fortunate...

So I'm home again - looking back - I've completed :
..... over 30,000 KM in total... of which

9,000 KM in Canada
3,500 KM in Alaska
3,000 KM in Mongolia
10,000 KM in Russia
4,500 KM in Europe

10 weeks travelling plus 1 week holidays in Austria with the girls before arriving home!!

some 10 days of no driving in total due to logistics such as shipping, servicing, customs etc....

3 continents
15 countries

1 bike
3 sets of tyres
4 punctures
2 services, 1 oil change
many accidents.... many new spare parts

2 fractured ribs

many new friends and one fantastic adventure !!!
