Magadan

So, I´ve been in Magadan now for a couple of days, the flight was good and the hotel we stayed in was also nice.

the hotel

 we did some culture as well, so that is already one thing we can cross off our list

our waiting spot for the bikes. It took 3 days for the bikes to get cleared and there was much joy when they were finally released from customs.
Yesterday we were all set to ride after lunch and after we drove off to the Mask of Sorrow monument,
one bike developed a clutch issue, so Berend and I returned to Magadan to get it fixed. While working at the bike in front of the hotel, many people passed by offering help one way or the other, very nice. But our true hero is Nikolai, he is a local that also lives in Moscow and he was able to sort the parts and have them shipped from moscow to magadan. Nikolai also invited us for some excellent dinner in his restaurant. We are now waiting for the parts to arrive so we can continue. The plan is to drive from Magadan to Susuman tomorrow so we can catch up with the rest of the group

New Adventures ahead

It's been a while, but I am finally doing another big trip. The plan is to ride from Magadan via the road of bones, the BAM and the Pamir Highway to Europe. I am excited to do this with a group of Ride On Motortours people. This weekend we loaded the bikes in a container, together with the support vehicle.
The trip will start August 13 for me and end sometime in October. I am taking the Xchallenge this time, which is better to lift when I drop it.
