Country
Preface
Few of you have known my previous post here.
I started traveling on 29 April from Berlin with an intentional detour around mountain ranges in Alps and Dolomites and others than to Balkan and later entered in Turkey then to Georgia. I strongly prefer small and offroad rather than speedways or Motorways. the total count of km sofar 9972 km so far with almost 2-months travel.

I will give some snapshot of the journey
Preparation
It took some time and effort to prepare the bike for around the world. Other than mandatory 40000km service by BMW Motorrad, I worked almost all the work on including enduro tire change, protection item installation, mounts and etc.
Offroad Practice
2 weeks before trip, I went with a loaded bike with friends to Poland for 2 days offroading and covered hardcore around 500 km of offroad.
