Planning & Preparations | Round the World on a Fireblade (#1)
Planning & Preparations End of April 2018, I’m on the way back from my 6500 miles trip to Greece and Italy. Where do I go next? I already visited most of the European countries by bike, I want to go further. China, Himalayas? Around the world? With less than one thousand pounds in my bank […]
