About this blog

Welcome to our travels. The plan... buy two BMW motorcycles, ship them to Switzerland, ride them through Italy, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, fly them to Bangkok, ride them through Thailand, Malaysia, to Singapore, ship them to Darwin (Australia), ride them home to Gold Coast.

4 months to do it in! Better get our engines started...
