The big blue box?? What you dont like it ha ha. Yes very interesting mod - but not to my tastes! Very clever ideas however with tapping into the frame.

Good point about the subframe regarding weight. I'm 70 kilos and Michele 50 so both 'lightweights' really.Minimal luggage should not be too much of an issue.

I guess the biggest question will be with low octane fuel as we mentioned. I have no idea the implications of that except loss of power and generally running like crap. Might see if I can find more info on that one.

Reckon you could find octane booster in UB? Once you get to know the place it is quite amazing what you can find there.

Every where I have travelled and everywhere I have broken down(which is a lot in the old Land Rover with 400,000ks on the clock!) something always happens to allow recovery. Two light weight bikes should be no different. But what would the damage be from crap fuel filter aside??

Is there much of an enduro racing scene in Russia? Certainly lots of potential for it.

As for what to pack gear in well we are not stuck for choice really.

Will keep you up to speed with progress as we put our plans together.

(On a side note Michele is now talking about a KTM Freeride instead of a lowered Berg. Easier for her to manage for sure but thats a whole different ball game in bike prep!!!)

Regards

Callum
