Overland to Holly Land of Mecca 2014 - Introduction

Dear all,

It has a long time that I'm not update any riding experience in this blog. It has a tough few years for me and alhamdulillah I have made it and manage to meet group of peoples who are having same passion in riding motorcycle overland.

With 8 bikes and 1 van, we crossing 12 countries before ending the journey in Saudi Arabia. It was a tremendous journey.

This journey took us overland for exactly 60 days crossing a different terrain, altitude, people, border crossing, human behaviour and machine.

Before I share my experience I would like to say thanks to all of my fellow brothers who are together with me to accomplish this journey.
