The foundations for this adventure begin in 2006, when me and my mate John decided to ride a motorcycle across Russia into Urkaine and do the Chernobyl reactor tour. In actual fact we ended up riding in complete opposite direction, for reasons that are no longer known.
We started in Moscow, managed to buy a bike (Ural with sidecar for $1500) and rode it to Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kaliningrad, Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Belguim, France, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland. The trip took 4 months, and at the end we hated each other's guts. Sharing a bike and a tent will do that to mates! But at the end we realized that this was THE best way to travel and meet people, because there is no cage around you no barrier (car for instance). You interact with the world and in return the world interacts with you.
So this time we are more organised, more prepared, so theoreticaly we should be able to achive more....right? Lets see what happens.
