118 Days

I looked at the counter on the main page today and noted that I have been on the road for 118 days.

After 118 days last year, I was coming home after riding around the world.

I thought it would be a good opportunity to list some of the things that have happened, and things I have learned since starting this motorcycle adventure:

    1.    My bike has 62,000 km on it.
    2.    I was 42 when I started riding a motorcycle.  I will be 44 in 16 days.
    3.    I've ridden through 23 countries.
    4.    Russia and Colombia have the prettiest girls.
    5.    I am a subject matter expert on border crossings.
    6.    You can become great friends on the road in a very short time.
    7.    Mongolia is a magical place.
    8.    I love Yoga.
    9.    I can't dance.
    10.    Everyone is proud of their country
    11.    95% of people have never been far from home.
    12.    99% of people in the world are helpful and friendly.
    13.    Everywhere I go, they warn me about the people down the road.
    14.    I like hot showers.
    15.    The internet makes the world smaller.
    16.    Coca Cola is everywhere.
    17.    I think I might be broken for a regular life.
