rtwPaul

The RTW continues, to date since 2011 I have covered approximately 300,000km which as a visual, looks like the above image.

There are still a lot of gaps to fill in that map and 2017 will add to that red line some more and continue on, and be DOCUMENTED HERE in a different way than on ADVrider.

January 2016 saw the stat of a new RTW, the chosen bike is the Yamaha Super Tenere. The ride started in Las Vegas and has been fully documented on ADVrider to date, and that ride report is here…LINK today (26th December 2016) there are some 79 pages and 1579 posts.

I am not going to rehash it here, that is a better place to read what’s been happening to date, and its a lot.

In the last 12 months i have been thru the following countries: USA, Mexico, Cuba, Belize, Guatemala, Mexico and the USA again, Canada, England, Scotland, Wales, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Germany and Poland again, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Romania again, Bulgaria and Greece.

To date, the route has looked like this

2017 is next week, the RTW will continue and be updated here regularly. There is some new surprises and unique location coming up…stay tuned

 

 

2015 was the least I have ridden in a lot of years, the main ride was the Trans America Trail or the TAT as its commonly called…a fully documented ride report is here…LINK with lots and lots of photos. It took three bikes to get it accomplished and a chase by some coyotes

…and a quick video of the ride is here…LINK

the WR250R page is HERE

I rode the TAT from Oklahoma to the Oregon coast

 

A return from South America…again, and more riding in the US.

Spring 2014 would see me head off RTW on a KTM…this is all documented in this ride report here…LINK

On the fist page you can jump to where I swapped to the KTM or click here…LINK

…and there is a complete build thread on that bike on this website or with questions and answers from other inmates it’s on ADVrider HERE

 

Following on from the “about” me page…for the rest of the year, I would just ride…

 

I flew from the US to Argentina and eventually made it Ushuaia where my bike was waiting. From there I would head north via, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico, USA, and Canada.

The whole detailed account of that ride is here…LINK

2012 saw less riding, in the earlier part of the year, but by the end, I had decided to head south again for a few months and saw 2013 arrive whilst in Venzuela

The culmination of those rides created this red line on the map which was approximately 80,000 miles or 129,000km
