Bike Trip 2015- anyone free??!

That sounds really interesting, Rod.

Trouble is that after the recent expenses of this time of year my liquid assets have rather evaporated.

30 days (March onwards) is a long time and with no "time off" and no money it's a big NO for me.

I hope some other TTR rider will be more fortunate.

Good luck - I'll watch this one for sure.

Sounds great and just enjoyed reading your Turkey trip , fantastic and very detailed.

I went to Morocco a few months ago but our trip reports not finished yet and we went on VStroms, here it is www.v-strom.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php the report will be finished mid jan .

Locky!- I have read your report (upto day 08)- it looks & sounds fantastic...You were taking the photographs right...they really set the scene...especially the well in the middle of nowhere!(ME2). I bet racing & meeting the desert trucks in Erfoud was fantastic!....writing reports (and editing) can be so time consuming; but you have me wanting more...so do the honourable thing!

...well done & thanks

...........I hope I don't fall below your expectations!...and fully understand your "liquid assets" issues.
I don't intend for it to be an enduro "last man standing" event- The filming will slow the process down considerably,,it will be down to the group to decide when to stop etc
It will be posted here ( assuming we return!)- or sign upto the youtube account that has a previous film trip on it.
Regards
Rod

Yes i took most of the photo's but we have many more to post, we also have a lot of video to edit that will be worth watching. The DL650's were the wrong bike for the trip, great on the road but very hard on Piste, such a heavy bike to keep picking up. At the end of the report will be lists of everything that we packed and lists of things we shouldn't have packed, we learnt a lot smile
