Welcome friends around the world!

Hi, I'm Mick, a guy with itchy feet and great eager to travel, most important I like to ride my VFR everywhere and sleep the most crazy places on my way around the world. You probably found your way to my site because you love to travel? We met on the road? You have a motorcycle? Am I an adventure rider? Or do you have to be owner of a speciel bike to be an adventure rider? I let you decide that! What does it matter in the end as long as you have a blast of a journey. One thing I know, I do it my way, and I like to be different from anybody else, so why not take a VFR out on the dirt roads, into Africa and see where it will take me? I wish you welcome to ATWJ - mhoey.eu to follow my adventures around the globe by meeting PEOPLE. If you have any questions, or want to contribute with something, feel free to write! Take the tour from "START"... Don't forget to leave your mark in the "Guestbook"

Hook up with me on Twitter and get the instant news!

Where is Mick?

I don't know where I'll be tonight, but I'll always tell you where I am...

Running out of rubber
Not the rubber you would normaly think of, but tyre rubber! After more than 2 years and 66.000 km on the road I am finally runnung out of tyres. Avon are not able to help me in South America/ Chile as they do not export to here. Meanwhile I hope I am able to have a good friend to take a couple of tyres with him on the plane from USA...

A bit of a tune up!
The VFR has gone under a bit of maintenance the last couple of weeks. New Barnett Clutch from Barnett Performance Products in USA and new Royal Purple Synthetic Oil. I must say it is like getting a new bike back after these adjustments. Now I am only waiting on a new battery kindly offered by Express Batteries

Bike down with faulty battery
After a little riding in the weekend the battery of the VFR decided to die on me after 2 years, 66.000 km, 33 countries and lots of times discharged! Well I guess one can't ask for more :-)

Waiting for spare parts!
After a Valve Clearance Inspection I am waiting on new shims arriving from UK 10APR2011 Rukka helping out ATWJ - mhoey.eu When the Danish importer of Rukka refused to help me out after I in 2009 had purchased his products. The headquaters come into assistance. New Rukka clothes have been send to my parents in Denmark. I will receive it later on when my parents visit me out in the big world. The short story is that my clothes was starting to wear down, zippers etc. and I later got my jacket stolen in Río Grande, Argentina. Thanks so much to Mari & Rukka clothes..
