DUSTY WOBBLS (Wanderlust Old Boys Biking & Leisure Society) ry

DUSTY WOBBLS is HORIZON UNLIMITED FINLAND JOROINEN Community

FIN2PAMIR ADVENTURE TOUR 2010 will commence soon

ROUTE PLANING AND JOURNEY PREPARING 28 000km and 18 countries 3 months

I commence first route scenario on summer 2008 and go over all kind of information available and checked out what kind of journey I can do on three months off.
Project planning has been started in the autumn 2008 and I have been bit busy and I'm still. Bike modification took lot of time more on that on bike mod section.I have collect documentations for forthcoming journey and examined data, documents and maps etc. carefully. Information is stored to web and many other places and will be available when need it.
When you are planing that kind of journey it will take hell of lot time to search all kind of information, charts, visas, permits, border crossing, fueling, service, spares, etc. to be even slightly prepared.
I have collect more than 850 files of documents more than 350 charts and over 100 GPS routes to net server to use for planing and on the road.
Hopefully those long night hours what I have spend opposite of the screen over thees year and went over the data will be recompenses some sunny Sunday when on way.

Many thanks for all these peoples how have write to HUBB and have they web sites where I had collect information, hints, routes etc. that data has been very valuable during planing stage of the journey.
Route is ready-to-go with many alternative trails. Winter in the area has been difficult "zud" like locals call it and there is lot of snow what means that there will be lot of floods coming later in spring when melting waters pours down from the mountains. That can make some trails difficult or impossible to ride but I try to take into consideration and have planed alternative trails go around if need it.

You can follow our tour from FIN2PAMIR

FIN2PAMIR Tour blog ( Will be updated by home staff and me when I have access)

FIN2PAMIR Blog is open (Will be updated when on the road hopefully)

It's slim

Low center of gravity

Bike is only 18 cm wider / side than pegs and as wide as bar with spare tyres it's 3 cm / side wider.
Actually we have also tank side bags so bikes is the same wide front and aft.

With this set up it's beautiful to ride feels like with out luggage and all the gears and stuff loaded.

  • Tent, sleeping bag, mattress

Also Barhoronturum police ask some pribes telling that I had gone to prohibited area I just told him that he can chek every thing from internet and he get nervous and give my passport back to me. So try avoid towns after 5pm.
So far every thing ok.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
