Where you off to mate? I remember talking to you and watching your mud vids before going through Congo in 2010. Did the ride to Magadan last year! :-)
And yes great service from Dean! Got mine shipped to Almaty.

I found plenty of sh*t doing the Old Summer Road! But avoided most of it in Congo by going from Mila Mila to Point Noire and Cabinda :-)

Thanks to dean
Today I went to custombike in Volgograd to get my new tire fixed on the bike.
I couldn´t believe how easy this was. Dean sent it to the custombikeshop and there I got it mounted on my bike. This was the easiest go in 20 tire changes including my jometown in Germany, it went smooth, the quickest ever and the most accurate and prfessional way I ever experienced. The workshop had a telefix adater for BMW and Guzzi wheels, so I even got it balanced, and I think it was never balanced this good.
So thanks to Dean (Denis) and the Custombike Shop in Volgograd, best job ever!!!

Hallo Dean,
i just tried to send you an email, but got an error
I'm looking for some heidenau K60 tires front and rear (90/90-21 and 130/80-17)
I will be in the Russian Altai region at the beginning of July and continue through Kazakhstan to Kirghistan and Tajikistan.
I would prefer to get the tires as late as possible. Do you only deliver to Russia or is Kazakhstan or Kirghistan or Tajikistan also possible?
What are the possible delivery cities and how much are the costs?
Hope to hear from you
Flo
