About to start my journey, riding solo from Chennai, India to the UK. I'll be travelling through India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and Europe over 3 months. My bike is a Suzuki DL650 Vstrom 2008. Its currently being shipped to Chennai from Auckland NZ. I'm leaving Auckland on 14 June and will spend a couple of days in Kuala Lumpur before getting to India to pick up the bike which is due to arrive on 18 June (hopefully!).
Right now sitting here in Auckland at the start of winter with a head cold, its hard to imagine the conditions that lay ahead. I'm told to expect heat in the 40's and lots of rain, it being the monsoon season in India.
After all these months of planning, research, and anticipation I now have 7 days before I leave.
