I’ve got new tyres today at MuzToo in Osh!
the old ones weren’t too bad yet, but for China I need about 6000km and they wouldn’t hold that long.
The new ones are Shinko E700 and should do for the next 10’000km. George (?) and Micha had some hard work to do with my thick tubes, but finally they managed it 🙂

Ich habe heute neue Pneus bekommen bei MuzToo in Osh!
die alten waren noch nicht so schlecht, aber für China brauche ich ca 6000km und die alten hätten nicht mehr so lange durchgehalten.
die neuen sind Shinko E700 und sollten für die nächsten 10’000km reichen. George und Micha hatten einige Schwierigkeiten mit meinen dicken Schläuchen, haben es dann schlussendlich aber doch geschafft.
I’m uploading some 360° photos also to Google Streetview and connect them so you can ‘walk’ through the attractions and landscapes.
here are some links to those Streetviews I created:
About a week ago I crashed while overtaking a slow truck. It was all my fault, I didn’t see some deep tracks or something.
Crashed onto my left side, the Givi panier got a lot of the hit. the panier holder was out of place and I found out, the Honda lock makes a good hammer to bend back the dents…
My Spot GPS sender also got some scratches. I just got a blue hip the day after.
Unfortunately I didn’t film it. the last photo is from another small fall at the same day. I guess I’ve already been too tired from riding in the sand of the Aral sea.

Vor etwa einer Woche hatte ich einen kleinen Unfall, als ich einen Lastwager überholen wollte. Es war mein Fehler, ich habe tiefe Spurrillen übersehen. Der linke Givi Koffer hat einiges abgekriegt und die Halterungen sind rausgesprungen. Das Honda Schloss macht sich gut als Hammer, um die Dellen auszubeulen!
Mein Spot GPS Sender hat auch einige Kratzer abbekommen. Ich bin mit einer blauen Hüfte davon gekommen.
Leider habe ich das ganze nicht gefilmt. das letzte Photo ist von einem anderen kleinen Sturz am selben Tag. war wohl schon etwas müde…
Unfortunately the Sojus rocket launch has been postponed to July 🙁
but I’ve got to see the launch pad from where the current Soyuz rockets has been launched. it’s still the same pad from where Yuri Gagarin and the Sputnik satellite have been launched off!
In the last picture you can see 4 yellow stars which mean the following events:
1. first launch of a rocket into orbit
2. Sputnik launch
3. Yuri Gagarin’s launch
4. 500th rocket launch!
Vladimir and his family invited me to join their friends at a biker festival in Marks near Saratov!
it was so much fun! I had one of the best times in my life! I’ve got a ‘special guest’ tag and didn’t have to pay the entry fee 🙂
I had to go on stage and received a present: a very nice leather belt with bag! It looks good on my bike 🙂 but I still don’t know why I got it, as the presenter spoke just Russian and I was drunk!
