Great photos and adventures so far Dennis. I have been sending on your updates and photos to everyone here at work and they are impressed with what you ahve done already cheers Paul

Hey, Im Simas from Lithuania :) Yesterday me and my university friend Jurga met Ozdog in Trakai (small town near capital of Lithuania Vilnius). Was nice to see a man with motorbike doing such a greate and impressing trip! He was nice and explained all details about himself and the trip :) Because I like motorbikes alot, and hope to make something like this when I finish my univeristy studies, I feel big respect for this guy!

GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A NICE TRIP Ozdog!!!

Bon Voyage Dennis

I realise you have a reliable bike in a Beemer and all will go well, but if you do have any trouble you can "always strip it down" - an operation you have always been very adept at with Peugeot engines etc. Have a great trip and good on you for having the getup and go to actually do it. Life is not a dress rehearsal!! I will follow your trip with interest.

Hey dennis - glad to hear you are finally one your way and you made it to Germany. We are looking after mumma - babies coming up this weekend so she will get plenty of cuddles

Keep safe and ride like the wind (da da da da..dadadada)

Jane

Good luck Denise and dont fall off.

Hi Dennis & Lyndy, Mate, I do not know why the message bounced as I received it yesterday. I am glad to see that you are on your way. Now as for May, June and July I will not be in Bishkek. I have to do an assignment in the Philippines - 2 months and then 5 Weeks in Aus and then back to the Philippines for another 1.5 months - home September 30. Tatiana and Lidya will however be in Bishkek and so I will discuss and organise details. Tatiana wants to refurbish the apartment - do not know what that means and do not want to know - she wants me out and says the Philippines and in Aus with the kids is a good excuse for me not to be there and being told to move here and move there and generally getting pissed off. Lydia has Uni and it will be final exams in May/June. But for contact - as follows: Use my e-mail as well as Lydia's e-mail - [email protected] --- when doing e-mail copy I and Lydia. Also address and telephone number: Apartment 81, 258 Chokmorova Street Bishkek 720017 Kyrgyz Republic Telp: +996 312 456 052 (Apartment) Mb: + 996 775 587 178 (Tatiana) Mb: +996 555 201 823 (Lydia) Now for another contact - Pommie - runs the Metro Pub - name - Richard - 996 772 737 397 Metro Pub: Corner Chui Prospect Street & Tusinbeva Street (spelling???) Tell him you know me and he will probably kick you out. Now stay in touch - good luck - and the worst of the trip is over -- you are leaving the Poms behind. Lyndy I will look you up in Aus See ya Cheers & Best Regards Cliff

Ahh, finally a look at the new BMW. I look forward to seeing it all rigged out and ready to run. I didnt like the news that the visa's are still a problem but i sure hope it all gets lined out BEFORE you get out on the road.
It does look like you are being well taken care of at your new friends home. What a beautiful home it is too.
If there is a way for you to alert us to your new posts please put me on that list.

Happy trails, Rx

Good luck Dennis, can't wait to hear the first adventures and I see you got the photos sorted out, so I'll expect some great shots cheers Paul

This site looks really good Dennis!!! i will be watching with great interest. I sure hope all goes smoothly and your new bmw dog likes to run like the wind.

Many happy trails my friend,

Rx

Good luck Dennis, your courage and vision to set about this adventure are inspiring. The world needs more people like you willing to turn dreams into reality. On the premise that the hardest thing in any adventure is taking the first step, hopefully it will all go well from here. Having met you (however briefly) I will now follow your voyage with enormous envy and vicarious pleasure... Rachel
