Had a F650 Single unit recently and swapped it for a F650GS 08 Twin.

Previous bikes, Honda Deauville 650, ST1100, Varadero 1000. BMW K1100LT.

In 2015, I rode my Varadero from Ireland to Mongolia via Estonia and Russia, and back via Georgia, Turkey and Romania. Returned to Russia twice, sadly by plane and looking to move there.
 
Welcome from another recent newbie.
That's some serious miles you put up there.
 
Welcome, I am not too far from you.
You should do a ride report on your trip, sounds interesting.
 
Thanks for all the kind words. I wrote it up on Biker, AdvIrl and Boards. Happy enough to revisit and write it up here

The toy mouse started as a joke but ended up doing the trip. The first photo is a road heading north in Mongolia back to Russia. The third photo is the old military road in Georgia, definitely not a road for a unprepared bike

A big fáilte romhat isteach to the forum by the way.

Georgia is beautiful as is far eastern Turkey. Did you go into Armenia at all on your travels?

Sadly no, I had to head back due to issues with the lack of cash. I am hoping to get back and do a few more countries around there. I was very tempted to head into Iran.
 
What's the weather like up in the Wicklow mountains this morning Pat?
