A Rough Route

The first post should always be an explanation for the existence of a blog.

Wanting more challenge and adventure in motorcycle trips, 2 guys from Croatia decided to go to a country that's a subject of many prejudices and great beauty - Iran. And to every country in between, of course :)
The beggining is scheduled on beginning of June 2011.

Who'll be going on this trip and write the blog?

Josip,

electrical engineer living in Zagreb, Croatia

hard rocker & tire burner, spiritus movens of every party

will attract sponsors, because of his attractive physique and even more attractive bike

rides:

'07 BMW R 1200 S, silver

Igor (me)

mechanical engineer from Zagreb, Croatia

planner, writer and complicator, self proclaimed expert in nothing - goo.gl/tuLYD

will make tour plan, photos, most of blogging & ride report

rides:

'08 Suzuki DL 650 A V-Strom, blue

And where are we planning to go? As a picture speaks better than my rusty English, I'll just post targeted trajectory of MotoPersia 2011 mototrip.

zoomed out!

wooo, that'll be over 12.000kms! In the middle of summer, in the Middle East. In the middle of nowhere :)

zoomed in!

Josip & me will publish here every step & move regarding this extraordinary expedition. From bike tune ups, buying necessary gear & clothing, drinking good beer & getting wasted to random thoughts regarding the trip, people we could meet, life and the existence of potato pie.

More details coming shortly... stay fresh!
