We're two motorbike fans from Germany on a trip to Iran via Turkey. After that, we'll also go back via Caucasus and Russia which will make up up to 50% of the time of our travel. We try to leave out big cities and tourist hubs in order to get into areas that usually don't see foreign travelers.

We are just about ready to depart from Yorkshire in United Kingdom on charitable motorcycle trip to Nezhin in Ukraine. The MotoFest in Nezhin is an annual gathering of bikers from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The charity we support is called British Humanitarian Aid, based in Canterbury, Kent. We would like to attract some sponsorship; all the funds raised will be used by BHA to provide aid in or around Chernihiv region of Ukraine. We are going to be able to place on this blog a selection of photographs/videos from that trip , which on outgoing leg will take us through Holland, Germany, Austria, Hungry, Romania and Moldovia. While in Romania we plan to ride on Transalpine and Transfagarasan routes. The blog also contains a link to our tracking page, where our actual position will be available during the trip.
Please feel free to comment on the site.
