Planning is integral when it comes to motorcycle roadtrips. The importance is even more pronounced when you plan to undertake a ride like the #xBhpDominarGreatAsianOdyssey. We will be riding 3 Bajaj Dominars for more than 15,000 km across 11 countries in a span of more than 90 days. While being impulsive may be fun on short (weekend jaunts), being on the road for more around 3 months needs planning, for both the events and the route.
Here are our route and plan for the #xBhpDominarGreatAsianOdyssey where we tried to accommodate all the major cities in the countries we’ll be visiting along with some time on hand to explore…
