RantMachine Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Daaaaamn that's a hefty fine Rule of thumb when travelling in any part of Russia: do everything possible to stay on the good side of the police, and where possible, avoid them altogether. Big fans of making up reasons to confiscate passports and other documentation then imposing an on-the-spot fine for their return. And of course, if you refuse to give the documents to them or insist on paying the fine at a police station... You may well get a swift beating. And still lose your documents. And your money. And potentially be arrested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrusaderPhil Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Thanks for the update Phil These bike have now covered some 9000k+ on this trip, without a problem except for the Continental Tyres wearing a little strangely, which I am told is due to all the straight line riding, they are looking forward to all the twisting roads of Europe.

CrusaderPhil Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 I like the penis cloud photo. What about the one where he's wearing a cod piece You might need something like that if it had been on a seat and probably pressed against the tank for 9000k+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusaderPhil Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Tonight they are on the boat between Norway and Sweden, should be in UK in a couple of days, only one problem so far, the German Continental tyres fitted as standard, are not up to the job, they have had to fit Pirelli tyresI am awaiting pictures, he has sent them to my phone but I cannot download them for some reason, I only see the thumbnails.
