Nepal / India - Fly out ride home !!!
Hi guys,
Can I sound an idea out to you ?
An overland trip is on the cards, looking into a 3 month sabbatical +/- a week or two..... have the bike a '92 RD04 Africa Twin .... and the wife wants to join me... so far so good.
Planning Spring 2008 ... the old Hippie silk route has always been a dream (I'm a 60's child !) and as we want to enjoy good weather, thinking flying the bike out to Delhi and riding home.
The route would be something like Delhi upto Kathmandu, Kathmandu back through India Jodphur, then the classic Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Greece, ferry Italy ride back up to Belgium... I appreciate Iran is a hot spot at the moment and it could change at short notice.....
However we want to do the trip at a comfortable speed, having enough time to stop in various places etc..... say ride 4 out of 7 days ....
My question is:
How many KM's are we looking at !!! we'll save a few buy dropping Kathmandu OK maybe I'm better off flying the bike in else where, Don't mind missing out Delhi ( was there last year without the bike)... but would love to see Nepal !!! then if we have only 100 days and its say 24,000 kms we're looking at 240 per day ... crazy ....
I know its a tried and tested route,
Any advise very welcome
Cheers Matt
