Jakeansell Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hi, im looking to do a week - 10 day trip on a rented bike in Kyrgyzstan in June next year. I’ve no pals with a bike licence sadly, does anyone know where I’d be best placed to potentially find someone who might want to join? cheers jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonio Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Wow, what an amazing trip! What kind of bike are you planning to hire? Is it going to be strictly tarmac, or dirt tracks as well? I ask because there are some bike-specific and/or off-road forums that have areas where people get together for this kind of trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxie49 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Sounds like an amazing trip....Are there any local m/cycle clubs in your area? If so, good place to start. Other than that try advertising in one of the local rags or there's a couple of groups on Facebook if you use it. I understand the problems you have, I like touring but most of my mates are just into sport bike riding, good bunch for a ride out but not into riding across on the continent or going any real distances. Also try this page, see if it helps https://www.meetup.com/topics/motorcycle-riding/gb/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six30 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 @onesea sure if you ask nicely and get yourself a loan you'll be able to tag along .... just keep your mouth shut for the whole trip ... your bore the fook out of every one otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Perhaps I'm looking at this from a Asperger's perspective but I can't imagine anything more awkward than teaming up with a complete stranger on such a trip . What if they turn out to be a complete ar*ehole but you only find out when it's too late ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Would you choose some narcissistic , empty headed , bimbo who would keep showing off and falling off their bike , or would you choose the lady on the right ? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
