Don’t tell my Mom I rode 17,000kms from China to France on a stolen proto Yam XT250X. - Page 20

That's pretty funny Fred, you realize it was August of 2009 when we ran into you in Almaty? Two and half years ago. Time flies! It still makes me laugh thinking about the drama at the visa office!

Fred, where's the rest of the story? I stumbled upon your ride report on an unrelated Google search. Great story... But it ended quite abruptly! Everything okay?

Hey Frederic,

where have you got stuck in the past ten month??

I'm not only desiring to read more, i really want to know, what your mother said about this crazy trip?

Look sharp!

Any chance he died on the route home? Hate to breech the subject, but ... at this point it's becoming a little weird.

His last post on advrider was made December 17th, 2012. This is after I resurrected this thread in November. He has certainly seen the replies here I would assume, and he has posted in other threads, but not here. I'm not sure what is going on. I have since sent him a pm that he hasn't yet responded to (I'm not sure if I sent the pm before or after December 17th).

Frederic is alive and well. He was in Los Angeles last week and last summer borrowed the ADV Loaner Honda Shadow 750 and spent around 6 weeks touring the Western United States - part of it with the lovely Laurane

He's currently back in France and staying busy.

Hopefully he'll get around to updating and finalizing this RR.
