I bought my bike, a 1983 XT600 Tenere about 2 years ago and decided to build it for the trip. It was a total disaster when I got it and I've slightly modified it specifically for this ride, Changed the engine to a later model with electric and kick start. Everything that could have been replaced has, the rest has been refurbished.

Dave and Peter are on new, or fairly new Suzuki DR650s and Ben on a 2006 BMW x-challange 600 so I have had to ensure I'm not the one holding up the team.
The bikes left for Athens mid March, shipped by Bikes Abroad, a Melbourne based shipping company.
Tomorrow, the 24th April, Dave and I fly out to battle our bikes off the Greek docks. Peter and Ben have been gone for almost 2 weeks and presently in northern Italy. We all hope to meet up in Istanbul on May 2, where we will obtain our Russian visas and those for all the 'stans....... hopefully!
When we head off from Athens on about the 30th April, we will have our 'spotwalla' tracking turned on and can be followed by going to this website: https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=61a75141613c9000c
