Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
Fortunately its not a gap year thing, im well rid of uni now...studied automotive engineering and worked as a contractor for Bentley Motors Ltd in there engine research and development department for the last 18 months (sounds gucci, but basically some engine dynos in a shed out the back!). My contract ended last month and a friend of mine out in oz asked me to go travelling with him. So i'm heading out to Delhi on the 25th of Nov to meet him, we plan to ride north to Kashmir as its meant to be beautiful, into pakistan travelling south toward the iranian border (avoiding afghanistan for good reason). If we can get into Iran with the bikes, we plan to see some sights there, then onto turkey and greece. but its all subject to change, what with the state of politics in the middle east and even in europe. if worse comes to worse, we can fly instead of travelling overland. Bike wise, were avoiding enfields as i know people that have had nothing but trouble from them. Hopefully something four stroke for reliability, maybe around 250cc, but we'll have to see whats about when we get there. My mate travelled through nepal on a yam rx 135 2 stroke and had no problems. The honda hero is meant to be bullet proof out there.
Here endeth the sermon!
planning on posting some details and pics of my fazer resto, which section would be best to post to lads?
