So this is it at last, me and my pal are finally off on a 3 month trip across Central Asia, aiming to ride the remote Pamir Highway up in the Himalayan foothills in Tajikistan. We'll be taking in a fair few countries en-route, including Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Greece, Croatia etc etc before heading back home. We're travelling fairly light and camping most of the way round, not quite as basic as Mondo Enduro, but this is definately no LWR
Dan is on his Africa Twin whilst I'll be on my trusty 1150 - it'll be interesting to see which bike copes best. He thinks mine will [he's a relative newbie to biking ] while I feel sure his will provide less grief! Apart from the chain maybe....
We're not planning lengthy trip reports although we may get a blog going, but I will try to post the odd pic now and again when I get chance, and hopefully not urgent pleas for technical advice on a stricken 1150
Pluck
