Hi,

I've been a long time reader here, never posted, but got good information just reading along.

I currently own a Yamaha XT 660 Z Tenere. Bought her in Germany and took her for a little round trip to see the Iran elections in 2009 (see OnTheRoad (http://OnTheRoad.Adventure-Antarctica.de) or ADVRider (http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=460274)). Shipped her over here last year and did a few rides last summer before work commitments took me out of the country again.

Cheers

Just finished reading the RR on ADVrider.

You've raised the bar a lot higher for RRs , Boarder - great reporting, fantastic pics (love the way you can get hi res by clicking on the pic) and super interesting places you visited.

Anyone who is a fan of Hillman Hunters should check out the Iraninan section of the report!

Certainly a different perspective of Iran to the one we normally get from the mainstream media.

Thanks for posting that.

Thanks for the kind words. Not sure about raising the bar. There are a lots of crazy people (http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=578506) out there :-) I try my best.

What a shame we are told such bigotted nonsense about all the places America is at war with. Iran seems to be a fascinating place, with a culture stretching back even further than Maori history. We live in a very sheltered corner of the world, which is a great thing, and a sad thing!
Well done that man.
