Welcome to the Adventure Biker web site.Note: This website was originally done 'live', IE I was writing it as I travelled. The trip started in June 2000 and finished September 2001. In 15 months I covered 70,000 kilometres and saw over 40 countries. The experience can only be described as 'fantastic'. Yes, there were low points, some element of danger including getting drugged, crashes and having a rifle barrel jabbed in my forehead by an angry Kurd, but the memories are irreplaceable and is a trip I'll always remember. I'd love to do it again one day, but the Americas instead.
The primary purpose of this site is to provide information and inspiration to motorcycle riders who travel to difficult and/or exotic destinations. It may also be of interest to anyone who just likes travel or motorcycling. There are many publications on travel by public and commercial transport, but very few on overland travel using your own vehicle. I hope that by documenting my trips, I can help remove some of the unknowns about this form of travel, and encourage you to plan your own trip.
This web site is being maintained by myself, and whilst I am a computer professional, this is my first web site. It is perhaps a little amateurish, but hopefully functional. Likewise, I am not a writer. I have done my best to make the stories interesting.
Lastly, if you have been thinking about doing a trip, don't delay any longer. Start planning now.
Mark Twain: "Twenty years from now you will be
more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
