Hey Haroon, was waiting for a long time for this travelogue to come up. Guess i missed it to locate it..
Wonderful in detail Travelogue with better Photolog.. Awesome pictures of this Country.
Yes, we never ask for directions coz we think we have inbuilt GPS !!!Originally posted by Haroon View Post
As a bonus, Mike as promised earlier gives me the keys to their Triumph Bonneville T100 that belongs to his wife Carole, to take it for a nice ride outside their place on the countryside. The bike really impressed me inspite of the fact that I was just coming off an absolutely marvelous sport touring bike like the RT.
My smile should say it all for my short rendezvous with the Bonnie T100
Its more than a bonus to get a chance to Ride a Triumph Bonneville T100..
Originally posted by Haroon View PostBased on my global touring so far, my 2 'must-do' choices for any biker are European Alps & New Zealand in that order. Both of which are fairly simple on a rented bike even if you have never ridden a superbike in your life before. Just stay within your limits with the bike and your enjoyment will be limitless. Yes, its costly, but those 7-10 days each are things you will cherish for your whole life. As an example the pics in this thread only convey about 30-40% of the actual beauty.
Anyway for other pointers on doing international bike trips, please do refer to the 'Resources' page on my website. I created that page more as an encouragement for other bikers to shed their inhibitions and JUST DO IT (no, I am not sponsored by Nike).
Your Travelogue and RideforPassion.com will surely inspire a lot of Bikers including Me.Comment

Saw this on adv-rider and you have always been an inspiration for us and a figure/guide we look upto
Loved the pics, what caught my eye were the food pics - which I bet was farzana di's idea :P
Mount Cook highway has been on my list to-do roads since years
Hammer the racetrack. Pace yourself on the street.

Thanks Ajay for the special compliments. Europe is waiting for us
Very true about the food pics. Being hungry I used to rightaway attack the food, while she would tell me to wait. Some food pics lil consumed, well...you know the culprit now

@ Haroon - Long time since I have browsed through xbhp but your travelogue caught my attention. Its a dream to be able to so many rides as a couple for any tourer and you are for sure living it. A lot of credit should go to Mrs.Haroon for sharing your passion.
When I find some time, I will sit through the thread but I have to say, I really liked the Bonneville pic at the end. Its a special bike, more special is Thurxton to me but anyhow , may be its about time you do a smaller ride on a Bonneville and give BMWs some rest
(though Mrs.haroon might not enjoy the comfort on triumphs as much as the K-series BMWs)
Ride safe and enjoy

As for the Triumph, I had ridden the T100 two years back in a parking lot in US. But this time I did not want to let go the chance of a longer ride and made full use of it. It had the Predator pipes and they sounded heavenly out on the open country roads. I think when Triumph sets up shop in India, I would love to own a Bonnie SE for those smaller rides.
