Hello from a german Honda CRF 250 L rider
Hello
I am reading here for a long time already, so it is time to say hello.
I am actally German, 30 years old and living since 2017 in Switzerland and riding motorbikes since 3 years.
Before that I travelled as a backpacker, which was also great, but since I am riding a lot the wish grew bigger to ride around the world.
Somehow I got quite fast tired of my job, yes, the salary was not bad and the job not boring, but is this what I will do the next 35 years?
No, I can also work when I am older, so I bought a CRF 250L in June 2019 next to my Ducati Multistrada 620, later quit my job, sold almost all my stuff and wanted to travel from April 2020 for 2-3 years.
But Covid came, so I had no job, no appartment, almost no stuff left and travelling was not an option anymore.
Was not the best time, but I am a very lucky guy. I stayed 4 weeks at a friend's place and afterwards started a new job for one year in a different city in Switzerland. Out of frustration and for fun riding in Switzerland I bought a KTM 790 Duke. (Fun ride, not the most comfortable, but going to Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Italy in one trip was ok with it.)
Now again I have just two months of working left, started get rid of my things again and in April I will move back to Germany to organise some things and get the Honda finished for the trip .
I wanted to go eastwards, Pamir highway, Iran, Pakistan maybe, India,..., Australia. Probably this won't be possible this year, but I have some other ideas to not just sit around in Germany and do nothing. Last year tought me, that having too many plans is useless...being flexible is more important!
Long text, but I hope not too boring and thanks for this helpful site!
