Russia, Mongolia, Stans & Beyond - On a GSXR

[7days1shower]

Over the years, I've had a couple of failed attempts at starting and completing ride reports

However I really want to share with this community as I feel it has always given me so much in the way of inspiration and information ever since I attended my first HU back in 2013.

So I would like to make the effort to to write a ride report here to document not just the ride itself but also the lead up which has brought me to the point of executing my 'trip of a lifetime'; a decade in the works.

As of today, I am exactly 4 weeks out from my bike, a 2007 Suzuki GSXR600, being air freighted from Sydney, Australia to South Korea and onto a ferry to Vladivostok, Russia where the riding begins.

From there, I head West into Mongolia, Central Asia and towards India.

I feel like I have a lot to share that has led up to this moment both from a personal development perspective but also preparation so I will endeavour to write that as time permits to highlight how an idea gradually developed over time and the challenges to overcome.

As of last night, I am finally happy with how the bike is after a few mechanical issues so I'll share that picture to start off this RR





A little lie.... the above text is from my post on another forum a month ago! I am going to bring both upto the same level and then update both together!
