Preparation for and realisation of our BIG trip RTW that should commence in February 2013.
I set off solo from Greece by my Honda XR 250S on a journey to four countries for ten months’ time. During my trip, however, there were many changes in my schedule, and, finally, I ended up returning to Greece after two years and two and a half months, having covered 73,000 km. (45,361 miles), after travelling to fourteen Asian countries. Next goal: Africa & Middle East...
Iain + Debz set off to try and ride 'round the world' on their BMW R100GS PD outfit
The plan is to see and enjoy a lot more of the world we live in before I am no longer able. Since being young I have dreamt of fantastic motorcycle adventures, now I'd like to fulfil that dream and visit countries, ride roads and find adventure in places that I've only ever heard about, it would also be great to see a Wonder of the World or two. So on August 1st, 2012 I will set off on one of the greatest adventures of my life, I'm going to ride my motorcycle from Perth Western Australia to the UK. Please feel free to join me along the way. I'll be attempting to pass on as much relevant and helpful information as I can in an effort to help those that may be planning a similar adventure. I also welcome your support and help along the way, as I am by no means an experienced traveller, I'm pretty much flying by the seat of my pants. : )
