We had just over two weeks leave from work so shipped the GS1200A to Helsinki and rode it back through Russia, Poland and the Czech Republic.
This is the story of the magic carpet motorcycle experience of being on a journey through unusual places exposed to the weather and chance. We made mistakes but had fun, embarrassment, drank too much and learned some things about our European neighbours.
Russia is a phoenix power full or paradox and we had a snatch at it before heading through the Baltic States, which have had such a difficult birth. As ever Holland ground my face in the dirt.
I hope you feel part of the experience and reflect on our highs and lows when you plan your own adventure.
