    Let me start off by saying i hate the whole "ADV RIDER" phrase. i am nothing more than tourists on a motorcycle....
    I rode solo from the UK and skirted around the boarder of China on my trusty Yamaha XT660Z! Camping every night under the Milkyway in deserts, mountain ranges and next to lakes. Crossing Europe, Turkey, Gerogia, Russia, Kazahkstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Dropping by Cappadoccia, Saint trinity church in the Cauccuss mountains, Chechnya, Dagastan, old towns of Uzkbekistan then onto the Pamir highway crossing Tajikistan via the AMAZING Bartang Valley! Then Riding onto the lakes of Kyrgyzstan such as Song kol and Kol Suu/Kel Suu. Here is the video of my amazing motorcycle adventure covering 15000 miles in a very short period of time. 15 flat tubes, so such amazing views and moments un-captured, high fives and smiles.. i rode up to some amazing places and left nothing but tracks and took fond memories and knowledge i will keep for the rest of my life! i hope you enjoy! i tried capturing everything i could but theres so much i didnt film! 4 hours editing a few clips from the gopro and video camera and here it is :) enjoy! any questions just ask!
