    We have been on the Road since the beginning of December 2018. Started in Sydney and hoping to finish in London around September 2019. All we have are our 2 Suzuki DR650s. This is Episode 7 of our little adventure.
    It felt a little strange riding into Malaysia, into larger cities like Kuching and Kuala Lumpur. We have avoided major cities since Adelaide back in Australia. We loved every second of it though. Got our fix of the big smoke, the jungles of Teman Negara and then up to George Town, Penang for a little culture. Only had about 2 weeks total in this beautiful country and as always… we wish we had more time!

      @@Northandleftabit True! They are actually specialized for BMW, but they will also service any bike and do a good job with it. Last time I was there, I saw some bikes with Dutch number plates. I chatted with the Dutch guy and his wife, and I realized that they were actually the owners of the two Dutch motorcycles parked near my bike in my condo parking lot. It's a small world!...

      Did you get the scoop from Lee (in Myanmar) about how he manages to leave the bike in-country? I thought you'd run into carnet issues if you cross the border without your vehicle.

      He literally leaves the bike and a bike garage, it's more common than you might think. So the carnet you can extend a few times which helps but also not all countries require a carnet, definitely a good way to do it

    Just been going over your vids as we near departure date. I had completely forgotten that you had to crate for air shipping in Malaysia. As we want to visit Borneo, that is terrible news for us given air prices at the moment. I'm guessing you exhausted sea freight options?

    • @Babalas13
      @Babalas13 2 роки тому +1

      Sea freight was definitely an option! and a MUCH cheaper option. But timing wasn't on our side. I think we had to wait for 3 weeks for the next ship and we decided that we would rather spend the extra money and gain that time on the other side. So if you time it right, you can definitely make sea freight work.

    • @RidingOnEggshells
