Description video...


The part that I travel with a biker couple is on the Karakoram Highway. There it was where the crazy idea popped up to ride to the North Pole!!!

The mileage seen on the speedometer needs a 1 in front. The bikes total when I stopped riding it was 291,000km. First engine, but 2 new exhaust valves.

The clip stops in Bam, Iran, before the major earthquake destroyed it.

Video shots in India, Pakistan and Iran, during my 160,000km lasting Fireblade world travel
