a pat on a motorcycle
I'm riding my motorcycle around for a while. This site will house some pictures and words while I'm away.

Pat, great story. Question, do you think having a carnet made getting your bike in and out of countries easier/faster than the usual filling out documents at each border for entering and leaving?
For some countries, a carnet is mandatory, so you won’t get it without it. I did use my carnet at a few countries that don’t require one, and it felt like that helped speed the process up a bit (maybe they let you use that official form instead of the multiple forms you’d have to otherwise)
My dear man, everything sounds great…lots of info for the next man to venture around the world
