Riding partner? UK towards Asia for a year or so, spring 2008
I had decided that traveling solo RTW (setting out from UK around spring 2008) was the way to go, however, the more articles and books I read, the more I'm thinking it'd possibly be better to go with someone... for both the comradeship and safety aspects. Anyone thinking the same....?
I'm 28 and am ideally looking to go with someone of a similar age! I'll be taking an XT660R. (JoeSheffer, if you're reading this, you seem to be leaving around the same time as me on the same bike... though unable to PM yet, I don't know if you're looking for a riding buddy.!?)
The tough thing about this is that obviously it's better to go with someone you already know pretty well, but I think it's doable with 2/3 people who are of a positive outlook, love to have a laugh, drink, and talk and ride motorcycles all day long...
I used to be a motorcycle designer, and now I work as a clay modeller for BMW. My world revolves around motorcycles, and otherwise the pursuit of fun. I had thought maybe I should title my trip "Things to do before I'm 30" and do whatever I come across that I may never get the chance to do again!
Contact me if you're interested.
Nick
