Hi from the WOGorcyclist

[partireper.it]

G'day mates.

This is Gionata (Jono for the aussies and Jon for the kiwis).

I'm touring the world on a 21 years old motorbike i bought for 800 bucks in 2004.

New Zealand has been my 24rd country so far and im now working and living in Christchurch to save up some money to ship to Chile and fly myself for the next part of my world tour.

Chile to Alaska.

I'm glad to have found this forum. Hope to share some good stuff with you and cultivate some important friendship.

Cheers.

Jono

Hi Jen!
You know what really makes me sad? That long way round and down are such a beautiful travelling project but they build up in most of the average motorcyclists, the idea that to enjoy a world riding it's something just for bloody wealthy, super mechanical skilled and fisically trained riders!

That's the wrong message!

I hope to put on the road more riders than the Long way round put every month in front of the tv, wandering and wandering...

I'm working in Chch to save up some money for the next step. But thanks for the hospitality.

Do you anything about rebuild a motorcycle engine? I've got 110000 km on my bike. She asks for a recondition!

Cheers!
