In a 'riksja' from India to Belgium?
Well, what can i say? Have been at home now for six months after a twenty month Africa overland trip, got a job, girlfriend got a job, settled in the house again so theoretically all should be perfect... except for the fact that i keep thinking to fly to India, buy a 'riksja' and drive it back to Belgium.
Has anyone ever travelled in one of these 'riksjas' (you know, the three wheeled small motorcycles with a roof that are used as taxis over there)? Are they any good technically, will i have to repair the bloody thing every 100 kilometers or every 5000 km? I know these things are slow and the paperwork problems should be the same as is the case when you want to do this trip on an Enfield, but what else should worry me? Or is it just a perfect idea and should i leave for India tomorrow? Or am i suffering from a post-travelling-depression and should i start a self-help-group (i know you're out there!).
All info and nonsens is welcome! Safe travels for those who are on the road (you lucky bast...)
