Tajikistan Or Bust! Solo trip from England to the Afghanistan border via Chechnya

Amazing!!!!!!! Thanks for putting the 1st smiles of the day on my face while catching up on your report.

Think i'm going to enjoy this,

Tell me though,have you considered organizing commercial overland trips

Any pics of the goddess with the horse?

Excellent choice of bike,needs basic prep and your good to go

Being stuck in the middle of the ocean on a oil rig with the Slovakian Princess on your mind is a recipe for wet dreams.... I know,I was in the navy.
Serious note,man. I noticed that you are a man with great compassion by the way you wrap your arms around the children where ever you happen to be found. You're a good man.

Don't post them there mate, we'll not notice.
Just post them in a new post when you find them!
Go look for them NOW!!

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Such a great story so far! I'm hooked!! Waiting for princess pictures too

Sweeeeeet !!!

" i bumped into the world famous Terry Brown from Cambridge England who i would ride with for a few days and who would teach me the basics of off-road riding (riding whilst standing up/rider position, steering with knees on the tank & engine breaking)"

Did he gleefully teach you any dance steps?

[/QUOTE]



And I thought there wouldn't be any eye candy for the ladies in this report.....carry on!

Did he teach you how to do river crossings in the back of a bongo truck?

Poor guy. He'll never live that down will he?

A lot of people at Doug bike hotel in Bulgaria. Now I can go get my beer. As Doug says "ADVriders get 1st beer free!"

I read with interest, this is my next road to the East

OOOOOOH no...... the shame......:eek1

N :d

Next summer Terry you can make amends - we will get some footage of you swimming across a river with a rope around your waist dragging the bike thru the river 10 yards behind ... then we can put to bed all this horrible bongo gossip !

Rod did it and Tee Bee got the blame,me think.

Yes traveling solo does have its distinct advantages, always makes things more of an Adventure and goes a whole lot farther with the locals rather than being in a posse. Being thought of as "crazy" is a good thing Good on you man

This is going to be one wild ride an epic before it's over. I've come up on a couple of saviors or two while in a pinch out in the sticks but never had me a Slovenian princess

I figured those big oilies would have wifi piped in over the whole platform:huh
Must suck a little, at least the funds come quick.

This summers trip he drove through every pool, river or puddle to show us he can do it with out using the bongo truck.

You'll lucky, I've never had a princess.

Still a whole hell of a lot more good people on this Earth than bad and riding a bike one seems to always find the good ones

Many more great experiences to be had...
