Day 967: Part 2

This day was very special for me. I had been hosted by a lovely family in Van in eastern Turkey, and was heading to a campground on Van Lake to meet up with fellow adventure riders Melanie and Greg.

I met Melanie and Greg the first time in Kasane in Botswana. Since then we have stayed in touch and now finally we met again in a very different part of the world! The first time we had elephants walking through our camp. This time we has to deal with a tube and Mitas tire repair!

And since Mel & Greg are very experienced motorcycle adventurers with 13 years of travel experience, I took the chance to ask them a lot of questions about life on the road.

  1. Thanks for uploading the second part Henrietta… I was JUST about to go to bed as it's 2am here and I am dead tired. Have it all cued up to watch in the morning. Cheers. 🙂

  2. Great interview with Melanie & Gregg Henriette, very informative, it's tyreing work doing interviews,( see what I did there) glad you got it sorted. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you to get to the next tyre shop without further trouble.

  3. It's like the Moto-travellers are a global neighbourhood, isn't it? They are few and far between, but they meet about as often as you normally meet your neighbours. 😊
    🥴…and, my goodness, these tyres… 🤯🥳🤣 Did I say Austria? Please do consider replacing the front Mitas soon. I guess you'll be travelling a lot of motorways soon. I guess the tyre will start to disintegrate pretty quickly, not that obviously some of its structure has been disrupted.

  4. Very knowledgable-Thx! I rented a CB500X in Chile because the bureaucracy made purchase, for a US citizen, impossible. Also traveling to Argentina on the bike went like "greased lightening"- the company I rented from did a perfect job and I really enjoyed the Honda.

  5. Its amazing how closely knit the motorcycle world world is! Seeing Mel and Greg with you here and knowing they just sold their motorcycle in Indonesia to Tim and Marissa its amazing! Mind blown
    The love for travel and motorcycles has created a great community. Bravo!
