    EPISODE 2 - IRAN
    The captain gave me permission to bring my Honda 250cc motorcycle onto the passenger ferry to a remote island in the Persian Gulf!
    With the help of the crew we managed to lift my bike onto the boat to explore the island on two wheels...
    This is an adventure in itself!
    Enjoy!

    Hi, I'm Ben King, 22 years old from London. I left the UK in August 2017 and have spent the past 12 months riding my Honda CRF250L motorcycle 35,000kms overland from my home in London to Pakistan, and I still have a very long way to go as I attempt to ride across every single continent in the world!

    where in the UK would we invite a soggy guy, dressed as a power ranger off the street into our house, cook for him, give him the yard to wash his clothes and the general run of the house. People really are mazing, i think its a bike thing.

      Is not "a bike thing", is the honest hospitality that westerners are lacking.

    • @neatapeace4266
      @neatapeace4266 3 роки тому

      اگر فارسی زبان هستید به جای “except” که به معنای “بجز” است کلمه “especially “ به معنای “بخصوص” را باید بکار برد. ترجمه آنچه نوشته اید این است. “ سپاس از همه بجز خانواده ای که وی را مهمان کردند و غذا دادند و در گرمای سوزان پناه دادند.“
      If you are not a Farsi speaker, the word “especially “ should have been used instead of “except” otherwise it’s completely different to what you would like to say. Your writing means “thanks to everyone but NOT this family.”

    Damn it! I've just entered to see how dit you got hard side cases attached to a CRF, as it has no proper chasis in the back for that. They are attached hanging from the top case mounting points aren't they? And then attached one to each other with another bar around the back. Very interesting solution I have to say, but I'm not sure it would resist a proper crash. Anyway, kudos for the original solution. I'll take good notes from it. ;)

    The volunteer blood donor bike guy who recommended your channel said to me that you make a lot of mistakes. One is very very offensive. As the internet will tell you:
    “The thumbs-up gesture is a sign of approval in most countries. However, in several countries in West Africa and the Middle East, including Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan, the gesture has the connotation of "up yours!" It's used the same way the middle finger is in the US.”
    But the simple rules are:
    If you don’t see locals doing something, best not to do it.
    Watch what the locals do, and copy them.
    If in doubt, ask.
