Expedition in the Bartang Valley, Tajikistan, Adventure Motorcycle Part 1

Finally a new video! After almost a year we have a new episode!
In this episode we travel along the stunning and remote Bartang Valley in Tajikistan on our off road motorcycles as we continue travelling East towards Siberia
I had to reupload due to Premiere uploading in Potato Quality the first time!

    stephane brion Hi! Thanks for the compliments! I purchased two fuel pumps (one for each bike) at a UK bmw spares shop called Motorworks. I tried to take duplicates of parts if possible. Heavy items like clutch and generator we only took one. The Mitas EO7 are an excellent long lasting tire that can do both road and off-road. It may be worth swapping to something like the EO9 or similar when your reach Central Asia if you will be spending a bit of time riding the big off-road trails. There are tire dealers in Almaty, Bishkek and Osh

    Hi Raimundas. Actually yes that was the case. In late 2017 go pros with stabilization were very expensive and would have cost over 700gbp for 2 before memory cards and extra batteries. We already owned the drift cameras and we already had the lone rider tent for a year before trip as it was from the first batch they sold and they were at an introductory price of 300gbp. We also already had the drone well before our trip. Trips cost a lot of money so we had to make cutbacks somewhere 😁
