I have to admit that since the bike is back in Uk now, as i am told, i feel like i have lost one arm. I have become a regular tourist with small rucksack wandering on streets of KTM. While doing this i am taking lost of photos. Here are some samples for you.

hello friends,
it is hard to believe that my dreams are over. Sitting now in cosy home in polish montains with snow everywhere. It is cold but not to cold.I was absolutely not prepared for this. no proper clothing, shoes etc. Good to have a brother same size. I am constantly stealing his gear.
I am still trying to figure out what did I get after this trip? Was is a lesson of life?was it just a trip?i do not want it to be just a trip. I think that the meaning is there, hidden in those memories.
My head is full of them, good ones and bad ones. Yes, there were even bad ones. I know that many of you would like to read a report. I am working on it. Believe me it is harder than i thought.I need some time to do this. I will see many of you soon.
best ragards and thank you for your support

So many great photo's and you pick this one!
Touche Marcin! And welcome back. If you're feeling a bit low, don't worry. That always happens after an experience as immense as the one you've just had. All the best and a Happy New Year when it comes.

Great trip!
I tried to get "something" or some sort of epiphany out of a backpacking trip I did a couple of years ago before coming back to the UK. It never happened.
So don't beat yourself if it ends up just being a trip. I think you did something fun and some good on the way.
I am surprised you didn't ride back

thank you Gentleman,
I did not take A68 thanx to Yodagoat. I decided to ride A1. Home sweet home. It took me something aroung 8 hours to get to Edinburgh from London. Weather was shite , fighting with high winds is no fun! No is the time to go through my diary and photos and ttry to come up with a nice story for you friends.
we can arrange a meeting as was suggested some time ago
Schultz, thank you. I do like this photo as well. If you want you can have a full res in your mailbox?I did design a 2008 calendar and this photo is there. I will post jpeg's so you can see if you'd fancy it.
best regards
