    The tour was from 11-2006 to 05-2007

    Did 23.000km on my Yamaha TZM 150cc 2-stroke that i bought for 700 euro in Shanghai.
    After the first 10.000km i met a nice girl who joined me and became my wife this year :)

    The route was:

    Pictures speak for themselves.

    This is an incredible adventure! Doing it on a 2 stroke is even more impressive.

    You rocks

    I would go again for the TZM 150 or the TZR 250cc, thats more power, so it would be more fun to ride later in europe. But the seat is not as comfy as the one of the TZM, and a good seat is very important...:)
    My main problem up to now is to get a bike that i can register legal. I need a legal bike to coss the border to kazakhstan.
    Most TZM can not be registered anymore and TZR are smuggled into China so you also dont get papers fort them easy.
    I got offered a registered 2003 Ducati monster 620i but hey thats not really the bike i want to crash from time to time because it cost 50.000rmb.

    And going for a chinese made bike,,,not so sure about that, no spare part service on the way to europe. i just love noisy 2-stroke. Its so much fun to overtake a VW Santana with 160km/h and see the chinese drivers face :)
