welcome followers, all three of you, today i begin updates on the progress of the roadtrips progress.
the progress so far:
I saw a film and now want to go on one.
My friend Joel also wants to go on one.
A few others have expressed interest.
not much else.
and so i start by laying all my cards on the table.
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION; Where we go is important, the two choices available to us are Europe; cheaper, safer and we don't have to ship the vehicles seperate to ourselves, or USA more expensive due to having to ship vehicles their seperatly and it being the greediest nation alive. but it has the whole easy rider feel (didnt they die at the end of that?) to it and also has las vegas and miles and miles of straight roads to just take in the world with.
SHOW ME THE MONEY!- We need serious capital to fund this excursion into the unknown. which means jobs, which means me acting like a normal person long enough for people to pay me enough to save quite alot of money to throw at this thing. let me add this up and if anyone has anywa of finding me a cheaper option please share...
Motorbike - about 1000 pounds for an old runner
motorbike lessons - about 750 pounds
tent/sleeping bag - 150pounds
food - 1000 pounds
drink - 500
cooking supplies - 200 pounds
maps/books on countries/ etc.- 50
all together its just over three and a half grand and i dont have anything at the moment but with a job and scrounging i may be able to get tents and sleeping bags the main problems are the food and motorbike lessons and actual bike itself(im hoping ebay can help)
