Isle of Man 🇮🇲 was a great stop for a couple of days. The weather was cloudy and windy and the second day constant rain. But through all that you can still feel the magic of the island.

On a motorcycle accompanied by Chris (a local guy that I met from couch surfers) on his Tenere working our way around the TT course that is so famous amounts the motorcycle community 🏍.

Trying to work my way straight it Dublin on a ferry wasn’t possible as the ferries stopped doing that route 1 week ago. Back to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 to catch another one to Ireland 🇮🇪.

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Taylor (aka Two Wheel Daydream ) to Ducati Preston this week.

Taylor is from Australia 🇦🇺 and he set out on a round-the-world tour on his DesertX last year. He has some incredible stories to tell, especially the most recent one 🧐

Follow him on Facebook and Instagram to see what he's been up to and see if he can complete his final European leg of his epic journey 👍🏻

Yesterday I was in head on collision with a car near Hereford, about 2 hours north of London.

Unfortunately Daisy is no longer as some sparks met with fuel and combusted. I tried to put out the fire with a fire blanket but the blaze was too much.

Luckily, myself and the driver are okay. I somehow walked away with only bruises to my shoulder and foot. The other driver, minor scratches to his arm.

Thank you to everyone that supports this channel and my dreams of traveling. To those I met along the way, thank you for sharing in memories that I will have forever.

So iv been on hiatus (a pause or gap in a sequence, series, or process) for the last month due to a much needed visit home ✈️ 🇦🇺 to see my beautiful girlfriend Juliana Dos Anjos and sort some other stuff out.
But before I left I headed up from Bangkok and getting my fuel tank replaced, to Chiang Mai. Where my bro Zac Bertram rented a MT07 and joined me on the famous Mae Hong Son loop. During SongKran (The Thailand 🇹🇭 new year, water festival), where fire 🔥 (burning season) met water 💧 as we traveled two days around the loop. A bit tarnished my the smoke in the hills but never less the ride was great. Thanks for having me bro!

The story of the leaking tank 📖

So the tank started to leak when I was riding the rough roads of northern Laos 🇱🇦. I noticed the issue when I woke in the morning and started to pack the things on Daisy 🏍. Over the night it had only leaked a small amount so I figured I could manage the leak and limp my way to Chiang Mai (2 days ride). But when I went to fill up the tank the added pressure from more fuel made the leak substantially worse.

I found a motorcycle repair shop 🔧 where we emptied the full fuel tank sanded back the crack and put some JB weld on the crack.

A day later the glue was holding, but I spoke too soon as the next day some more bad roads caused the glue to split and the leak started again 😞

A temporary aluminium foil repair job got me across the boarder of Thailand 🇹🇭 where I epoxy glued the tank. Riding 4 hours from Chiang Ria to Chiang Mai.

After talks with Ducati and some great people iv met over my trip we have organised the tank to be replaced in Bangkok 😁

Riding through Laos it the north, I found the greenery I was looking for. But unfortunately it was clouded by smoke. In South east Asia right now it is biting season where land owners do controlled burning to p**s of tourist trying to see the scenery, or maybe for harvest reasons idk 🤷‍♂️

Either way the twisty roads are a nice change. I went to the kuang Si waterfalls just a 40 minute ride outside of Luang Prabang. I dipped in for a swim and the water was freezing 🥶

After that I noticed a small leak in my fuel tank from where the tank has been creasing due to the pressure build up from the expanding fuel, then decrease once cooled. This is an issue with the bike that has been somewhat cured in Kuala lumpur, but I think most of the damage was done by that point.

I stopped at a mechanic 👨‍🔧 in town to see what we could sort out. After draining the fuel and sanding back the cracked area, I applied some good ole JB weld and let it sit for 4 hours. To which the neighbours of the work shop insisted on feeling me beers and food. They also tried to get me to sing some karaoke 🎤 but I wasn’t to keen to try my Lao’s over the PA system 😂

So since my last post I have been riding all over Cambodia 🏍 trying to get in to every boarder possible to Vietnam. The Ducati Vietnam dealer and club even getting me in touch with a tour company that had a sit down meeting with some customs officials to try to get me in.
The result was IT IS POSSIBLE! But for $1200-1500 USD and take another 2 weeks to do the paperwork.

By this time I was just about to tick over 1 month in Cambodia 🇰🇭 and my boots were itching to get on the road. So I officially gave up on my Vietnam plans 🇻🇳 😔.

The good that came out of waiting was that I gave myself some time in a fancy hotel to sit down and edit videos finally. Check out my previous post to watch 😁🎥

Heading back into Phnom Penh from waiting at the Krong Bavet to talk to customs about changing my exit boarder paperwork before heading to Laos. But that’s a whole other story. I made my way up to the same boarder that had given me such a hard time just one week before 😩

I arrived with a smile and sarcastic waves 👋 as the customs officials noticed Daisy 😂. As this is my third time at this boarder, I think they are sick of dealing with me. Because they gave me no issues at all this time 🙏

Then onto Laos! 🇱🇦

Making my way through the dusty long roads with even more cows 🐄 then Cambodia or Indonesia. I find myself herding them off the road most of the time with a few revs from Daisy 😁

Day 1 Pakse, Day 2 Thakhek, Day 3 Vientiane. Now finally working my way north towards some Greenery 🏞. Stay posted!

Such a timeless design, love this bike.

2007. Quando Ducati progetta la 1098, l’obiettivo principale è quello di creare il perfetto connubio tra performance e tradizione utilizzando le tecnologie implementate nelle Ducati da gara.

Con il suo inconfondibile stile, la 1098 è una supersportiva dalle forme attraenti, pronta a dare il meglio di sé sia su strada che in pista. Nella sua livrea rossa, la 1098 è caratterizzata da alcuni elementi distintivi come il codone proiettato verso l’alto, il frontale compatto, il doppio silenziatore di scarico posizionato sotto la sella e il forcellone monobraccio, tipici del design delle moto sportive create a partire dalla 916.
