Another Hello from Oz
Greetings Everyone, I'm Brett, been a lurker for a few months now but I've recently decided 'one day' will never come so I'm now planning my first big adventure.
I've been riding for about 4yrs now (late bloomer) and have taken a few trips around this great land of ours on my trusty '08 Vstrom but I have now succumbed to the lure of overland travel and (with the wife's blessing) started planning a Brisbane to London trip hopefully leaving May '17.
I must thank everyone on here for posting so much helpful information, I've learnt so much in 2 months!
I've 3 big decisions to make before I start making a million smaller ones.
1. Do I take the Vstrom? I do enjoy getting off the beaten track so do I spend money adventurising this one or replace it with a more dirt oriented ADV bike?
2. Do I start the trip riding away from my home in Brisbane or ship the bike a bit closer like Japan, South Korea or Vladivostok?
3. Most importantly, how long can I be away before the money runs out!
So be prepared HUBBers, a lot of noob questions coming your way in the next 12mths and I thank you in advance.
Cheers,
