dudez7 3rd Gear August 1, 2020 Share August 1, 2020 Quote These 2 biking buddies Peifa and Daniel planned the "trip of a lifetime", to ride from Singapore, to St Abbs, Scotland last year in a pre-COVID19 world. Along the journey, they experienced wondrous moments and faced hardships that made their friendship stronger. ↡ Advertisement 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think riding to india/pakistan is already quite an achievement. And with a fracture, obviously anyone will come back home. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic August 2, 2020 Share August 2, 2020 (edited) They used the wrong equipment. Should have used this. Can repair everywhere in the world and can always find spare parts. Edited August 2, 2020 by Jamesc 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway i hv heard enough horrors and know enough friends who would say owning a bwm bike was a big mistake they made.🤣 these two riders are likely still wet behind their ears. The first thing to check if your bike cant crank start is the batt. No need to go forum and ask so much advice lah. very ill prepared. Alamak how can go touring like that? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibadog Turbocharged August 2, 2020 Share August 2, 2020 both are BMW GS bikes. One is a F800GS. Not sure abt the other one. https://mothership.sg/2019/09/biking-ang-mo-kio-scotland/ https://www.facebook.com/2man2bike/ hope they will retry the trip to scotland after covid situation is manageable. Might take a couple of years (or more) for borders to open. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can even give a lift to a hitch hiker go up the mountain. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighter bikes also easier to manage. Anyway he doesn't go fast and doesn't carry much gear. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha, kawasaki, honda etc? Seriously, if I'm crossing the sahara, i would choose a toyota hilux or land cruiser 100% of the time.

Jamesc Hypersonic August 2, 2020 Share August 2, 2020 I would like to go around the world on a bike but when it rains I will get wet and if I skid I will fall down. So this is the perfect vehicle for me the 4MC as it can never skid or fall over. Just needs a roof to keep the rain out. Safer than cars on an oily skid pan.
