Hello to all Australian bikers!
We are Bea and Helle, a young couple from Upper Bavaria in Germany and we are in the middle of the greatest adventure of our live, a round the world trip with our two twenty years old Honda Transalps!
We started in our home town Burghausen at the 18th of June 2011, so we are “On the Road” now since more than 9 month. During this time period we crossed 12 countries and had driven over 31.000 kilometer. We visited the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and from Vladivostok in the far east of Siberia we shipped our bikes to Thailand. From there we did a loop trough Cambodia, Laos and Thailand before we went down to Malaysia, Singapore and finally Indonesia. At the moment we are on the Island of Lombok and we are heading forward until Timor-Leste from where we ship our bikes to Darwin at the 19th of April.
During the last 9 month we had a great time, met some unbelievable helpful and friendly people, rode our bikes trough amazing landscapes and had some real adventures!
On our homepage
www.timetoride.de and our Facebook-page
www.facebook.com/pages/Time-to-ride/115955945143396 you can find more information about us, our bikes, about our trip preparations and some travel reports about the countries we visited so far. We also posted lots of pictures and videos about our previous travel experiences and adventures. So if you are interested, we would be very happy if you visit our homepage and Facebook-page!
But now we are really looking forward to go to Australia. We had never been there before but we heard a lot of great stories about this huge country and we saw a lot of great pictures and we are really curious about what to expect there! :-)
And we are also very interested in meeting local bikers, having good conversations, of course drinking the one or another

and spending a great time while exploring Australia with our bikes! :-)
And if some of you might have some helpful tips for us in advance, that also would be great!
When we arrive in Darwin in the mid of April we have to stay there for around 2 weeks because we have to fix and renew several parts of our bikes, so if anyone can recommend a cheap place with a safe parking possibility for our bikes and maybe a metalworking shop where Helle can do some welding work and building 2 new aluminium boxes for our two bikes, that would be fantastic!
We hope to hear from you and looking forward to see some of you guys in Australia!
Many greetings, currently from Lombok / Indonesia
Bea & Helle
