I was having a senior moment and pulled the wrong country. The reason your being escorted, US State Depts latest posting, Do not travel to:  Balochistan province and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, including the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), due to terrorism and kidnapping. The immediate vicinity of the India-Pakistan border and the Line of Control due to terrorism and the potential for armed conflict.

Why do you think that? The trouble Marc seems to be referring to is the bike connecting to the local cellular network so that he can monitor the charging remotely when not in bluetooth range. Given the wide variety of network standards worldwide, I'm not sure Zero can obtain a module that will work with every network in every country. And given that there are many countries in which they don't sell their bikes, I don't think it would even be economical for them to even try to find or create something that would connect in every country.

Yep, as I've written elsewhere, ZERO is missing out on the opportunity for positive advertising. After all, the early adapters should be supported. Advertising doesn't get any cheaper than that. When I think about how stupidly KTM behaved with "Long Way Round". BMW could do better. They must have a few positive nuts sitting there.

Haha cheers mate! I guess I’m the ambassador they never asked for and never wanted 🤪

[@notjunior5079]

their trucks are sooo pretty :D

[@MarcTravels]

They are 🤙🏼

[@jora5483]

So old

I wrote, edited & eventually deleted my comments and will just say my thoughts, 2 things actually, Zero isn't a brand I'll spend my money with, it's not because I'm a Marcus fan, it's because I get the impression I'll end up being just another Marcus. 2nd point is Pakistan, the country gives the impression it's another zero, funny how words collide.

Merhaba, As a tourist, you do not need a car in Pakistan. Get on a police escort and let it take you around the country. No gas, no electricity, everything is free. I wonder if they will take photos when leaving Pakistan. :)

[@MarcTravels]

Okay

[@the_drifter-bw9hj]

They cant let you off on your own showing things and places they've worked so hard to hide from the world, iykyk 😉 The people are very friendly and good hospitality, the real threat is the police and the commandos watching your every move.

Marc , youve made me want to travel Iran by motorbike, but Iraq, no thanks

[@Maske..s]

How did you manage all this stressful situations in Pak😲😲so disgusting behaviour

[@Im.rider3]

Nice. Take it easy man 💪

[@MarcTravels]

Will do 🤙🏼

Look at it as having your own personal bodyguards! It must be expensive for the Pakistan Government to provide for y'alls security. US State Dept has issued the following warning, "Do not travel to any part of Afghanistan due to armed conflict, civil unrest, crime, terrorism, and kidnapping. "Politicians need human misery. ... Government’s a disease masquerading as its own cure." - L. Neil Smith

[@MarcTravels]

It says that for many countries, Afghanistan has no security escorts 😅

[@VEMNEM1]

Terrible experience. Hopefully you will get out of Pakistan soon.

[@MarcTravels]

No but the police will go away eventually for sure

Dear Marc, I think your story is ideal for a video game. Think about it. maybe you could sail it for example companies such as Electronic Arts for a new game that all of your challenges included in this game. Maybe you could make your fortune with a lot of money with it....

[@MarcTravels]

Good idea 🤙🏼
