09-29-2009, 05:44 PMJob done, bike gone. At last the clutch.
After 5000km on the tibetian plateau I burned the clutch when I took a way to steep short cut at over 5000m. Now the bike is on a truck on the way to Lhasa and we are lonly in Ali.
More later...
Greeting from Tibet

10-12-2009, 11:15 AMso where back to stinky china
here some pictures of the G317 from Derge to Naqqu, about 1000km of unpaved roads
i had the stock streettires on the bike and just changed the backtire to one with a better profile in Lhasa. I datched my rim on the paved road (G109) from Nagqu to Lhasa, so needed to replace that too.
unbelivable sticky mud
tried to get rid of the mud, but it was useless
1500 year old trees
taxi got completly stucked
tibetian motorcycle
Tsedru Monastery. Oldet Bon Monastery (Bon was the religion before buddhism in Tibet)

Beautiful pictures! Great stuff.
How did you get the registration number 8H888! Super lucky!Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.

Beautiful pics but I'm a little confused as to what pics were taken where and on what part of the journey.
