first taste for traveling
I have just been reading a thread on the HUBB about Kudu that you posted back in 2006, and am thinking of going on one of there expeditions (the London to Mongolia one) and am interested in people's opinions of this or other such companies.
just to fill you in on my situation...
I have been thinking about a tour for ages, but am not exactly the most organised (in terms of planning) of people and my thinking was that an organised trip, could be a good first step into long distance adventureish motorcycling, especially as I would otherwise be planning a solo trip. Following this if i wanted to continue I would hope I would be more prepared for the solo travel.
I do realise there are the obvious drawbacks to this sort of trip, including a loss of flexibility and that they may need to push on due to time constraints and it is bound to cost more than if I were to do it myself.
I currently ride a 98 Fazer, which I could either raise up a little and fit some crash protection or rent one of their bikes.
any advice or thoughts on the idea and your impressions of such tour operators would be greatfuly received.
cheers
Ed
