A night out with some Russian bikers turned out to have an expensive hangover! Lots of stories and daily updates, in full or by SMS, about Abe's solo trip by Yamaha XT660 from London, UK, to Almaty, Kazakhstan.
"Between May 2007 and March 2008, a charity journey by motorcycle of 28,111 miles was ridden. It began from the UK, heading for Australia, overland on a BMW F650GS Dakar motorcycle. The route was ... through Eastern Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan, China and India before heading to Malaysia and to the penultimate country, Singapore before reaching Australia. The trip was in aid of the charity 'Make-a-Wish Foundation', a very worthwhile cause, for whom money and awareness is being raised and your support is kindly requested.

I’m from London!†“Is that in Australia?†“No, England!†“Oh yeah, I can hear your Irish accent now!†After giving me a pitch at half price for having a bike I was invited back down to their trailer for Jagermeister and beers, and I left them the next day clutching a frozen elk stake for me to BBQ. Although I only understood about one word in three they were wonderful hosts.

"A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself". ~Robert M. Pirsig This site is designed to explore the zen behind motorcycle travel. The site looks at what motorcyclists feel as they travel and what drives them. Its a mix of philosophy and travel tales.
Tales and photos of myself and friends along the way, riding in Australia's awesome, Out-Back regions.
