Godspeed to you! Have a grand old time and please keep us posted on your trip.

If you decide to hit Northern Europe send me a PM and we can meet up for a ride and a beer somewhere.

Well guys its been a while - i did the trip and i had some ups and downs! As it happens a C90 (for 8000 miles!) GPZ500, VW type 2 camper van, Lots of footware!!, some trains (and after being robbed of all possesions!!) a rusty twin prop plane were used to complete a 18000 mile trip! now i am back and have just started work again :( :( :( broke, bikeless, and feeling like i need a holiday! the C90 was faultless but a little frustrating sometimes, but it was a little gem that has more balls than many a "big bike" on the planet.

I didn't get RTW just half way RTW, but at 45 to 25 MPH it feels like you have :scooter:

Would i do it again on the trusty 90?

maybe? but my bones and arse probly wont thank me for it. a £80,000 hymer camping car with a bubble jacuzzi bath in the en suite has to be the way to go....... Bo$$oks!!!!

Till next time!

PS i will post some pics, and the guy that robbed me is currently serving 2 and a half years in a russian prison so thats karma for you!!!

Cheers

Kind regards

Hi guys. Just thought I'd let you know that I'm attempting an around the world ride on a Honda c90 right now. I'm from the UK and I'm currently in Ghana. I had my passport stolen though so I'm marooned here until I get a new one. It's taking a long time!

Here's my blog if anyone is interested,

Liam and c90 around the World

Hearhear, we're underway RTW on something like a C90 (yes! it's a postiebike!)

And here's why https://irisandniels.wordpress.com/w...10-postiebike/

Anyone know what the spares on the h100s (honda) are like in price and availability? Anyone done a longish ride on one? 2-stroke, so probably not a good bet for the Europe trip i'm hoping to complete with a mate next year, but might get one as my get-about with the hope that either that or my 68 minor will be running at anyone time ;)
