Description
Eleven years ago I rode through Central Asia for the first time. This year I went back on the Ténéré 700, same region, completely different trip. In this video I break down exactly what changed: visas, borders, money, prices, fuel, roads, heat, and safety.
What got easier, what got harder, and what's exactly the same as it was in 2015.
If you're planning a motorcycle trip through Central Asia, or anywhere far from home, this is the reality, not the highlight reel.
Want the full breakdown of how I actually plan trips like this, the decisions, the risks, the mistakes I don't put in videos? That's what my course Adventure Riding WITHOUT Illusions is for. Eight modules, real experience only, no hype, no shortcuts.
