Two years ago I rode 11,000 miles to Panama and back on a 250. I'm not good at kilometer math but I think that's close.
I post on these threads more to give encouragement to young folks reading along who think you need a pile of money to travel around the world and meet nice people.
If someone like me with limited funds who isn't too sharp on the uptake can do it, anyone can.
Don't get me wrong. I don't care what other people ride. Not everyone likes riding around on a motorized mountain bike. I'm old and poor and it brings a smile to my face. Cheap to buy, cheap to run, bulletproof motor and it goes 65. Ticks all the boxes for me.
If more young people were encouraged to travel and experience different cultures I believe the world would be a better place.
Cheers,
John Downs
