[@TheBigFella]

Tomosan cheers! - Episode 1 - 30 are posted there now - hope you enjoy them

[@diegofianza3525]

Oi Oisin! I'm rewatching your incredible series since there hasn't been any really good motovlogs that consistently post vids. Cheers!

[@osimnod]

Holy cow, such a dramatic decrease in road quality directly across the Russian - Mongolian border. Can't wait to see how you handle this, alone. Made me wonder if a lighter bike would be able to make this trip, then I read about Mondo Enduro, but that was a group of riders on DR350's. Beautiful work, Oisin.

i know that feeling of ice in the tent, camped on the border of the Yukon and Alaska and in the morning the inside of the tent had a layer of ice and I was so frozen

[@TheBigFella]

Bullshitkorner yup - and you tend to wait hours before going for a number 1 haha

Oisin, just re watching your video blog, I had to laugh as at 9.22mins that fuel station I stopped there in my RTW in 2013, its not there now, just the pump and no hoses WTF.....I thought, I got to Tashanta and into Mongolia on fumes. As for the Altai I agree with you what a gorgeous place, I could have stayed there for longer. Keep the vids coming mate, And if anyone reading this has not yet bought a copy of any of his books, do yourself a favour, buy today, you won't regret it. Cheer to you Oisin, Greg

[@TheBigFella]

Gregory Pepper Cheers Greg! :-)

[@crotchrocket3000]

That road looks hell!

[@Linty690R]

"I cant belive I left my helmet out over night, ohh man it´s gona be all fucked up" That just made me giggle abit, becuase I just imagned an is cold helmet on the head. That combined with your change of tone in your voice when you said it:-) I absolutly love these episodes, keep em coming:-) Cheers:-)

[@TheBigFella]

Linty690R hey there - so 1-30 are posted now - hope you enjoy them

[@Linty690R]

Oisin Hughes I do, I DO! :-) Absolutly awesome episodes, keep em coming! Cheers:-)

[@rgirouxx]

glad you have reposted these, Oisin!!! I can still remember that post of yours on ADV, where you recapped all the people you met on your east-west trip. made me want to dump everything and hit the road. takes some real stones to do it!

[@TheBigFella]

rgirouxx with all the bumpy roads by stones are more like pancakes these days!

[@Andys-Motorbike-Travels]

Oisin hi from Clondalkin just read both books and watched all your videos excellent buddy really excellent, i'm planning my big trip for January 2016 shipping the bike to Buenos Aires then down to Ushuaia - Prudhoe Bay Alaska - Vancouver - South Korea - Vladivostok - Dublin... anytime in town gimme a shout for a pint in the Laurels... Andy

[@TheBigFella]

TheSwampdonkey123 the best of luck with it Andy - the Pan Am is a great run!! my book that I may die roaming covers the pan am - you'd learn quite a bit from it - (third edition has all the places to stay etc) take care amigo and stay safe on the road

[@grahams6390]

Glad you brought the vids back...like to start my day watching at least one of these..have both books...when can I purchase the complete set of DVD's??..where are you hanging your hat these days?

[@TheBigFella]

Graham S Morning Graham, back in Ireland for the foreseeable in County Laois. I've no plans to put them onto a DVD or anything like that - but will try and get the revised episodes up at a rate of 1 every 2 weeks if I can - cheers Graham

[@milestwogo3011]

Oisin, when are you crossing Russia/Mongolia again? I need a guide. Videos are great, thanks for posting.

[@TheBigFella]

Miles Twogo hey :-) - well just had a baby and got married - but really want to go back - but will be in a few years I'd say

[@joshuaemmerson7878]

gr8 videos oisin, just finshed watching them, do your books give more information about the costings of each day, like ferry costings, how much you spent on hotels food ext, am gussing it cost you around £16,000 not including the price of the bike or gear, thats just fuel lodgings unexpected problems and shipping costs ???

[@TheBigFella]

mary mutherfukingpoppings yep - in the back of the books i go through the numbers - in the FAQ question. Your not too far off on the calculation. Getting out of Magadan and South Korea were the big costs - the Pan American is a much cheaper run

[@einaralmaas]

i have not done my research here by watching the other episodes, but what date did you go into mongolia ? seemed abit early in the year :)

[@TheBigFella]

Early may - at least 3 to 4 weeks early

[@einaralmaas]

@@TheBigFella thanks. going thru all your episodes now as we are planning a similar trip through Russia and Mongolia. great series !

[@plaid13]

That bike is just too big for a mess like that. You would be so much better off with a bike that weighs like 300lbs or less.
