Photos of a South Corean bike on my dealers shop. Apparently good reputation reaches the other side of the world.

Embrace the wind.

And the big surprise, this one proves that what matters is the heart and not the bike you ride. The second Corean chap came through China, Russia, Romania, Bulgaria to arrive here in this:

Love the luggage.
Reminds me of the three Honda step throughs at he HUBB meeting a few years back.
They had been to the Elephant Rally and apparently the only bikes that could move in the snowy conditions.
They still had the baskets on the front and filled with beer cans for the event.
If any body is interested in the stories of those who travel the world this annual event is a must.
I loved it.
I think this years event is from 16th June.
Go the Horizons Unlimited for more info,
Its not always the destination that counts its the ride, having a destination just stops you going round in circles.

When Melanie and I were in Biarritz with scooters everywhere there was a young couple on a scooter loaded with camping gear including fishing rods and also a surfboard strapped to the side.

Nice cameo appearance in the background by the other Costas!

If those guys are heading further north and west in Europe I am sure the police would be having words about those two 'topboxes'  :o

Full credit to the guys for the spirit and determination.
