Karim's Adventure Motorbiking Disasters

"I am riding around the Mediterranean basin, travelling by motorcycle. The route is 75% off-road, with a total projected distance of around 15,000 miles. I am using the trip as an opportunity to raise awareness of the charity Riders for Health, whose work is making a real difference. The journey starts in London in early April 2004, and will end several months later, when I return...I will also be riding a new(ish) Honda XR650L, which is currently being prepared by David Lambeth. The anticipated length of the trip is 4-6 months, and I will head to Genoa, Tunisia, Libya, etc (anti-clockwise) to make the most of the Desert spring and eastern European summer."

"On April 30th 2003 I leave behind the comforts of my cosy houseboat in London and my job at the BBC to motorcycle the length of the Americas. My route takes me from the Arctic Circle in Alaska to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina, the most southerly part of the world that one can reach by road. "
