Приключения англичанина на Кавказе Международные путешествия

[evil_laugh]

LOL The only thing about weather which we all know for sure is that nobody knows what to expect next week

Oh, come on, buddy. Everybody in Russia knows that you people from St Petersburg are kinda like fish or frogs - do feel comfortable only when it rains cats and dogs :D

Hey Wesley DRZ400, it's a real surprise to see a British man at the Ukranian YBR forum :D How'd you find it?

By the way, I'm certainly looking into visiting the UK in... ehm, maybe August. The only problem is getting a visa, I guess Oh, and my YBR engine parts are still spread around my apartment, but I'm going to fix it soon :D We could share our travelling experience, maybe

Не совсем так. Хоть я сопровождал его на Диверсии, но я сказал, что люблю ЯБР и обитаю на ЯБРфоруме, рассказал про этот форум. Ну а дальше, был приятный сюрприз. Не знаю, читал ты его блог или нет, но там он кратко об этом рассказывает. Только не "YBR", а "YB" называет.
Все же, прикольно что он здесь появился И как человек, и как мотоциклист - заслуживает уважения.

Magrohman i have correctly edited the blog to YBR and not YB: Innocent:

Yes i have read alot on the forums on this site and very good information, i really liked Ukraine and Russia and always plan to visit on future trips.: Thumbup:

Internet and Translate settings is amazing for such things like for us to speak and share are common interests of 2 wheels

If you need invitation letter i can do this for you, i just have to write a letter/ sign it and attach letters of proof and should get visa 6 months visa multi entry

But i am afraid or ashamed to admit England is not so friendly as people i meet from Eastern Europe on-wards.


Scotland is pretty amazing views and so is Wales, if you want to come as basic tourist (just fly here) i have spare room in my house and London is 2 hours by train

Magrohman i have correctly edited the blog to YBR and not YB: Innocent:

That's not a problem at all, the YBR and the YB bikes are almost the same, just a little bit differ in appearance

If you need invitation letter i can do this for you, i just have to write a letter/ sign it and attach letters of proof and should get visa 6 months visa multi entry

That would be great, thank you! I think I'll contact you as soon as I get clear information about the period of my future vacation

But i am afraid or ashamed to admit England is not so friendly as people i meet from Eastern Europe on-wards.

Well, "friendly" is a relative term, I think Maybe we just have different mentality

However, my comrade returned from a month-long trip to UK last year and he says he liked it very much, lots of impressions and not a single problem with the locals, he considers everybody to be exceptionally polite and friendly. Like I said - a relative term, he-he

Scotland is pretty amazing views and so is Wales

That's exactly why I would like to take at least a month-long vacation - coming to visit the UK for just a week doesn't make any sense as I won't be able to visit all the beautiful places

if you want to come as basic tourist (just fly here) i have spare room in my house and London is 2 hours by train

Well... if everything goes well and as planned, I think I will use my YBR as a transport. Visiting the UK is as interesting as driving to it on my own bike

Big thanks for the offer. I'll surely use it as soon as I get to Britain Same to you, by the way - feel free to contact me if you ever visit Moscow or the nearby locations

I have visited Moscow many many times since 2005 as ex Girlfriend lives in Moscow and know it like my own home town:innocent:

Yes i sometimes fly via Moscow as very cheap flights on new cheap airline easyjet London-Moscow £88 return if you book in advance, before flights where £400 return

then i pick up flight from Moscow to Central Asia but have to wait from 10 to 24 hours.

Be careful with Russian girls, Wesley - they may by dangerous sometime. More then Russian guns, Russian cold and Russian vodka. Best wishes to her Majesty

Yes but all city girls the same, even London women as dangerous as Moscow women i am sure:D

Yes we ended on good terms awhile ago

I will pass on regards to Queen

Я помещу это сюда. Он все-таки добрался
Wesley, я его встретил! Блин, человеку 59 лет и он катает в такие дали! Красава Терри!

All his life he travels on motorbike, yes for him distance is nothing.

He rode from UK to Magadan via BAM road/tracks 3 times i think

For British motorbikers the BAM road is famous, this is more an attraction than Moscow red square

On BAM they take crazy old summer road and not main road which is tracks full of broken bridges and even famous Lada Niva cant go this route

BAM= Baikal–Amur Mainline (Russian Байкало-Амурская магистраль (БАМ), Baikalo-Amurskaya magistral', BAM)

Thank you for meeting my friend Magrohman

Обалденное фото!! Видел нашивки у него на куртке "БАМ" и т.д.
Общаясь с путешественниками, прихожу к выводу, что это особые люди, отличные от серой массы. Путешествия формируют их мировоззрения, основанные на увиденном ими самими, а не на основе услышанного из ленты новостей. Проводишь с ними какое-то время и заражаешься позитивом, оптимизмом, желанием познавать мир и людей.
Чем дальше человек ездит, чем больше городов, стран, континентов он видит - тем терпимее, мудрее, добрее он становится. С ним безумно интересно общаться, интересно читать его рассказы, пусть даже в двух предложениях. И совсем наоборот: чем меньше человек ездит, чем меньше покоренные им расстояния, тем агрессивнее, не интереснее и огромнее его рассказы. Кучи вылитых видео о том как - "Меня подрезал...!","Я чуть не убился!", "Я открыл сезон!", "Я проехал по проспекту/бульвару!", "Я чуть не обосрался!"...:D

I speak with Terry by message, in East Turkey he rides in remote areas and have road block with men wearing masks and with guns and other such weapons and they stop him, they have large flag that is red with gold star on. they question him and when they see he is lone traveler on motorbike from Britain they shake his hand and tell him to go.

he says he was scarred at first but then felt sorry from them as they look like poor farmers

"I was stopped by at a roadblock on a small road in eastern turkey
2 days ago by a armed and masked gang . I should have been scared,but they looked like very poor locals and the first thing they did,was to shake my hand. I really dont know what it was all about,but thinking back it could have turned out a lot worse..I was a bit frightened at first,but i had no choice , they looked very intimidating with hoods masks and gloves .
They had what looked like home made bombs of some sort and a couple of old looking rifles
When they realised i was from England they shook my hand and told me to go....
There was a red flag with a gold star in the centre and a banner"

He finds out later flag is that of PKK group Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) as they where PKK people

Вот не могу сказать тебе что именно это была за камера, но совсем не Го Про. По словам Wesley, это была "очень слабенькая, дешевая камера". Так что это было что-то очень бюджетное. Сегодня спрошу у него что за камера.

Это камера - "its called a ghost drift camera, it has many settings and if you look at the left hand grip on the bike i press a button which takes pictures also it can go take pictures at timing settings ..."

Хм, не такая уж и бюджетная она... http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-DRIFT-IN...-/251396019234 Но вот эта возможность делать фото с пульта, без остановки - это прямо таки необходимая штука в поездке. Сколько раз пропускал интересные кадры, только потому что уже и остановиться не успею, и вообще как-то не хочется, и обочина узкая итд итп. Похоже, придется разоряться на эти 10 тыс. р.)) И кстати, я так смотрю никаких проводов к шлему у него не идет, то есть камера заряжается только на привалах. Можешь уточнить у него, как часто он делал фото, видео, и насколько при этом хватало аккумулятора?

Да, фоткать так очень удобно. Никаких проводов (кроме шнурка страховки камеры если упадет на ходу). Фоткал он весь день пока мы катались, останавливались посмотреть достопримечательности и не заряжал вообще. Ну, думаю тебе на день-два пути зарядки хватит.

Check this camera out it looks better than ghost drift that broke and i tried to fix it but it would not work right after it broke.

A lot of good stuff coming out of china (yes also a lot of bad stuff i know) but this is amazing price and i think i will buy one, i use cameras for work also which are go pro but this looks like copy of go pro at 1/5 the price

It has remote you could fit the handle bars to take photos or video

3119.61 Russian Rubles or 1074.24 Ukrainian Hryvnia is price in England so maybe same price in Russia or Ukraine for your guys also

here is post from the guy in British Forum i will copy and paste, i don't know the guy however just saw his post.

5.0MP Full HD 1080P waterproof Action Sport Camera CAM WiFi DV Camcorder WDV5000

Maybe put in your ebay search engine

I see this video is taking in Northern England with the camera and shows camera in very good quality for price
