What bike were you riding and where are the pics?Just finished a 6 month, 20,000 km motorcycle trip across 8 Asian countries.

The Harsh Barge:

Heres some things that happened along the way:
- Total probably about 30 flat tires
- Ran over a goat on the highway in Sumatra
- A bird hit me in the chest in Sumatra.
- In Vietnam my rear suspension blew out on a curve, leaving entire wheel crooked (didn't crash!).
- In India I Got hit by a car on the highway, fell off bike and a 10-wheel truck ran over my foot. Fractured 3rd metatarsal and skinned toes (Tip: don't wear flip-flops)
- Fell off an 8 foot ledge in Nepal, bike landed on top of me.
- In Sumatra I rode off a rice field trail into a stream, bike on top of me in the water with gas pouring out.
- Never once payed to sleep! --Camping, Roughing it, Sleeping in temples etc..
- Got stranded in the Kashmir Himalayas, with no mechanic or gas station for 500km, no spark plug, pushed bike for 25 km and found a settlement of tents, eventually met another motorcyclist with fitting spark plug.
- Rode over the 2nd highest motorable road mountain pass in the world in Kashmir
- Rode into a pit of knee-high mud in Vietnam
- Tire blowout on Bangkok highway and another in traffic jam.
- Towed my buddy's motorcycle 200 km in India
Now I get to go back to my beloved FZ6 soon!

Haha yea thanks for reading! Glad you liked it.
My friend TB (on the right) wrote most of the blog, it was his first time travelling, I definitely facepalmed when I read the WC comment.
I did the trip mainly on 4 different bikes due to national laws it's really difficult and very expensive to cross certain borders with the same bike. Instead what
I rode a 125cc Honda GL Max 5000km in Indonesia.
Then southern Thailand I rode a 110cc Honda Win AKA "The Dirty Black Hoe"
Then Vietnam Cambodia and the rest of Thailand I rode another Honda Win:
Then we crossed to India and I got a TVS Apache
All the bikes were bought for about $400 then we were able to resell them
