I doubt you've seen this before...
Hi guys!
New to the forum, but pumped to be a part of it!
So here is my situation...
In 18 months 3 of us will be doing a 3 to 5 month tour around the Black Sea - Ex-Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, Romania... etc.
The 3 of us being:
30 y/o male... lives in Austria - 1 year riding experience on a 250 & extensive time on a mtn bike.
25 y/o female... lives in Austria - still no license & is very short 5' 3" or so
59 y/o male... lives in USA - never owned more than a 125 but a full license
1st question:
Does the female go 2 up or get her own bike? She will get her license in the next 6 months... but if she may never get comfortable riding herself...
2nd question
What bikes do we all get to get more riding hours under our belt?
(the 2 in Austria live together, but will probably want different bikes given height differences)
(also smart to take into consideration is if the female never gets comfortable then the 30 y/o will have to have a bike big enough for both of them to fit on)
3rd question
Which bikes do we take on the trip?
(ie does the guy living in the USA ship his bike or buy a bike in Austria upon arrival & sell it before going home?)
I hope this is the right forum........
looking forward to your responses & tips!
