2 UP World Tour .
 

Hello xt660.com Riders

Leigh and I will be leaving on our Round the World Trip in May 2012.

Having spent the last few months preparing our XT660Z ready for the trip it's now more or less ready to go.

The House as been sold and were now waiting here in the UK untill May before we start our trip.

Our route will take us through Holand, Belgium, France Germany, Austria then down to the tip of Italy. Here we get to Ferry over to Greece, before working our way around into Turky.

From here we head North to Georgia and on into Russia.

We will cross Mongolia before re entering Russia and heading for Magadan .

It's then a few weeks off the bike while its being shipped to South Korea and then onto Alaska.

From here our route south to Ushuaia will take us through North America / Central America and most of South America
Once in Ushuaia we then turn around and ride north to BA so we can get the bike shipped to Cape town in South Africa .
Then spending a few months riding in SA , Nambia and Botswana.


It would be great to meet as many other XT660.com riders on route as we can .

Here is the bike fully loaded and all but ready for the off. We just need to fit a new set of tyres before we leave.

Thanks All.

we have had a few sleepless night over the last few months. someone once said " riding a bike around the world is the easy bit, its the planning that's hellish hard "
We found out that this is true.:sad10: The bike will have a spot tracker fitted .I will post the link once its up and running so you can see where we are.

I will post updates and photos onto FB and if it's OK with Keith he could cope them onto here.

We could cross paths in OZ, we will be heading home to the UK.

Thanks Duel

we leave the UK on the 7th May.

It will be about a year before we arrive in Cape town.

Leigh's Daughter lives in South Africa so we will be spending time with her, also Martin off here { TinTin } as kindly offered us a place to stay . So we should get chance to visit a lot of South Africa before we head into Namibia.

Cant wait to see this part of Africa.

Thanks

Darren and Leigh
