I got the touring bug a few years ago, little blasts just dont do it for me anymore.

2008 - London to China (3 months on the road) on a modified 20 year old CB1000F with 200,000kms on the clock!
2009 - Eastern Europe (GS1200ADV)
2011 - Western Europe (GS1200ADV)
2013 - Himalayas in India to Nepal (2 months on the road) on an Indian bought Hero Honda Karizma 220cc.
Next year - I think Norway as I have family there.(on the Fazer)

To do - Bolivia's death road and the Ho Chi Minh trail in Vietnam.
