    In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
    Throughout my journey, I was raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family so he can lead a normal life as best as possible, so please donate generously: gogetfunding.c...

    I love the fact that the sign said 4x4's only, and later on, here comes a Toyota mini bus (taxi) driving down the slope.

    The epic drop down photo was perfect. "On the dirt " achievement unlocked. You remind me of Ryan F9 's quote: "a good motorcycle is a sign of a good rider, but a beat up motorcycle is the sign of a great rider", and it suits you perfectly, Kinga. Way to go, tough lady.

      Those taxis all have four wheel drive. However, it's even more important to have good ground clearance and low range, which almost none of them have.

    Wow I know how it feels ridding alone on bad road condition, you just don't want to drop. You just got to keep going even when it leads you out of your line. You just have to make do with what's ahead and just ride trough. Good on you Kinga, your attitude towards being a ridder makes your journey archivable. Otherwise you may have head for home. I wish to be able to just ride my bike to nowhere land and see what's ahead. When the way gets tough the view ahead will be rewording.
