Hard way round

Gotta love this guy. Adrian Scott rode a 2004 KL650 (stock!) from Magadan in Siberia, along the Road of Bones to Istanbul…. SOLO! He was recently featured on ABC Radio (which I missed, but which I’m downloading right now), and he’s published a book, which I think I’m going to have to buy.

Anyone familiar with Long Way Round would know about the Road of Bones and what a mess it is. And this guy did it on his own, on a KLR. What a class act. It certainly adds weight to the argument that the BMW 1200 Adventure is just ridiculously large and heavy. It takes 2 people to lift one if you drop it, and that’s without gear. A 650 makes so much more sense to me.

Adrian’s site has a lot of detailed information about the route, the gear he took and all the preparations. Great info!
