26 ème Jour - Kilomètre 9408 - Kaunas, Lituanie J'ai passe la matinee a essaye d'acheter une assurance europeenne pour le sidecar mais je ne peux le faire que en France ou le sidecar est immatricule. La solution etait d'acheter l'assurance sur internet. J'ai traverse la Letonie rapidement et je suis arrive en Lituanie que je voulais avoir traverse avant la nuit pour dormir en Pologne. Vers 19h je cherchais un hotel avant la frontiere mais ils etaient tous cher et sans internet en etat de marche. J'ai decide de continuer a rouler et de m'arreter juste avant la nuit pour mettre ma tente a la belle etoile. Un type (Marcius) m'a depasse en me faisant signe qu'il voulait que je m'arrete pour me parler "Je te suis sur ton site internet depuis 3 ans, j'ai adore ta viree sur le lac Baikal cet hiver...". Marcius m'a emmene juste avant la frontiere chez un copain a lui qui a un moto club ou je vais dormir ce soir ! Que le monde est devenu petit avec internet !

Day 26 - Mile 5942 - Kaunas, Lithuania

I spend the whole morning trying to buy a European insurance for the sidecar but I can only do it from France. The solution was to buy it by internet. Then I spend time finding a bank that you change my left over roubles. I went quickly through Latvia and wanted to cross Litthuania before the end of the day and sleep in Poland. At 7pm I started to look for a hotel, before the border, they were all expensive and without a working internet. i decided to keep riding an put the then last minute at dark. A guy (Marcius) passed me and show me he wanted me to stop to speak with me "I follow your web site for the last 3 years, I loved you ride on lake Baïkal last winter..." He took me to a friend of him who run a moto club just before the Poland border where I will sleep tonight ! What a small world internet does !!!

Rider On The Storm - Pretty wet out there, non? And a lot of work on the bike, ausi! But not to worry - I'm sure that you and Giorgio will have plenty of time to screw up all the work the boys in Irbit did on the sidecar (ha-ha)! I am very happy that you are back in Europe and that both you and the bike need only minor surgery!! Smile, my friend, because a gigantic mushroom omelette in a field has to be one of life's great pleasures! Miss you! Stay dry, safe, and have fun!
Love,
Jeff

Salut Hubert!
Je ne sais pas quel est ton choix de route pour Linz mais si tu as besoin d´une douche chaude et d´un endroit sec pour dormir, je réitère ma proposition de l´année dernière.
Je dois avoir encore un bon morceau de sanglier au congélateur...
Gute Fahrt!

J'ai eu à Paris une opération avec anesthèsis générale (bon là, le chirurgien a un peu chargé) pour une épine dorsale de daurade (délicieuse) plantée sous l'ongle.

Bonjour Hubert,
we've met in guesthouse Oasis in Ulaanbaator last july; we came with an ambulance flight cause I've crashed my sidecar in the Gobi desert. The insurance company is bringing my bike (Yamaha 750 super Ténéré with sidecar)back home, so I can prepare it for the next tour.
You are doing great, I follow you through your beautiful side! Is the Ural still going strong?
In a couple of weeks my new leg prothese is ready and, if the Yamaha is back, we'll soon be ready to go back to Mongolia!
Have a happy and safe trip around the world, you're always welcome in my place for a meal and a place to sleep, and maybe, one day I might meet you again!
Take care Hubert, and stay okay.

Hubert,
Je voulais simplement te dire que tu ne devrais pas rester avec cette écharde sous ton ongle ! comme tu ne peux pas l'enlever va voir un médecin, surtout si tu as mal, tu risques de faire une SUPER INFECTION !!!!
Je te dis cela car c'est arrivé à mon fils et je ne te dit pas ce qu'il a dégusté parce qu'il avait trop attendu ! le toubib lui a carrément ouvert le bout de son doigt car il y avait plein de pus et mon fiston qui n'est pas du genre "douillé" à hurler de douleur !!! et moi je pleurais à côté, comme d'habitude!!!!!!!
Bon courage et prends soin de toi ;-)

Hello all
Everything if going well, i had a few bugs on the bike yesterday, but nothing serious. I am now 500 km south of Mocow going to Linz by the Baltic countries...
thanks to all of you for your emails and posts.
Humbertof
PS: basically, internet cafe barely exist even in the big cities... I am just squatting a Wifi signal by chance on the corner of a street !
PS2: I have rain everyday !!!

Bonjour tout le monde,
Tout va bien pour moi, j'ai eu des bricoles qui m'ont emmerdes hier sur le sidecar mais rien de serieux. Je suis maintenant a 500 km au sud de Moscou et je vais a Linz par les pays Baltiques.
merci a vous tous pour vos emails et vos postes.
Humbertof
PS: en fait les cafe internet n'existent pratiquement pas dans les villes sur la route, je squatte un signal wifi sur un coin de trottoir avec beaucoup de chance !
PS2: j'ai de la pluie tous les jours !!!

Salut Hubert !
Pour ce qui concerne la traversée de l'Ukraine. Je n'avais pas rencontré trop de problèmes. Mis à part les problèmes de frontières et effectivement les policiers vereux. Mais bon, tu connais l'Asie centrale, c'est le meme topo.
J'ai jamais filé un bakchich, mais oui, je sais que certains voyageurs en ont payés.

Bonne route à toi.....

some items from the plant visit and engine overhaul!

Why replace the rear bearing plate, it only holds the rear bearing? Just replace the Bearing?

Was that a camshaft I saw in the box of replaced parts? Why replace it?? New cam configuration???

I like that palatalized engine stand. It shows good versatility. I am thinking of using some of the ideas from it to make a simplified stand for personal use.

I wanna work at Irbit. :-)

Frank:
One thing that isn't in the box is a gas cap...!
Had to chuckle when he admitted his vanished, been there-done that.

markhas in Whiskysconsin:
There are two rocker arms visible. If they are replaced with the new roller bearing ones installed in the 2010 models that may not be in the best interest of traveling in remote areas of Africa. Roller bearing rocker arms used by Harley-Davidson are a known weakness, often failing. I've heard rumors about the failure of roller bearing rocker arms giving the 2010 Urals problems also.

Juste une question. Les messages en écriture mongole - pour lesquelles google n'a pas de traducteur - ne sont-ils pas ceux des personnes rencontrées par Hubert sur sa route?

Claude-F:
Bon, ce message en mongol qui était écrit sous le mien a été effacé. Si on est sûr que c'est un spam...!?

Claire:
Ce n'était pas 1 message en écriture mongole, c'était 1 spam, c'est pour cela que je l'ai retiré... Avant d'enlever quelque chose : je lis bien le texte pour voir s'il s'adresse à Hubert, et si ce sont des lettres bizarres, je regarde la destination . Voilà Claude.. Bonne fin de journée.

Claude -F:
Je suis rassuré ;-)

Hubert, I traveled through the Ukrane the summer of 2008 on a motorcycle and the only reason that I can think of for not crossing through is that the police are VERY corrupt and will stop you for anything that they can think of to try and get a bribe.

à nos grands ages on a sans doute moins de risques à traverser des zones susceptibles d'être contaminées par les cendres des zones radioactives récemment incendiées.
J'espère que tu n'as pas breveté le truc du sac poubelle !(ça doit fonctionner aussi pour les cendres radioactives. :-( )

Hi Hubert,
Thanks for the Ural factory story.
I think that my previous question about what upgrades they're doing to your Ural at the factory should be changed to what upgrades HAVEN'T they done?
Now I guess you'll have to break in a "new" motor like me. What will you do or not do while you break in your "new" motor?
Enjoy your rest and relaxation.
Thanks again!

Hello Hubert, Glad to see everything is going to plan. We think that this pic may help your egg intake but we seem to think that you would require many more Hens and maybe a trailer behind.
Picture was taken at the Elephant rally.
Ride safe my friend.
We are looking forward to seeing a pair of matching Urals en-route to africa

My computer is not starting up, i arrived too late at to have dinner with Oleg, we will have breakfast together tomorrow morning. I had a couple of bugs on my way here. The electric problem on the position light persisted and I finally found the guilty exposed wire on the frame. The other problem is that I runed out of gas in the carbs with 1.5 gallon still in the gas tank !!!
I will take the road tomorrow morning after my breakfast with Oleg.
Humbnertof


Mon computeur ne demarre pas. Je suis arrive trop tard a Ekaterinburg pour diner avec Oleg, on va donc petit dejeuner ensemble demain matin. Mon probleme de feu de position persistait sur la route et j'ai finalement trouve le fil coupable qui etait expose sur le chassis. Par contre les carbus sont en rade d'essence avec 5 litres dans le reservoir.
Je prendrais la route demain matin apres mon petit dejeuner avec oled.

Richard:
I'm wondering if you're going to get one of the new Mac Pro laptop computers with the "solid state" hard drives? It seems to me that since the hard drive has no moving parts it may be more resistant to the vibrations of motorcycle touring. I don't know about heat and cold(?).

Hubert,
There is a historic location there in Yekaterinburg and a new church has been built upon it. The site of which I speak is the location of the Czar Nicholas Romanov (and family's) execution.
I believe it is "The Church of the Blood".

humbertof AKA Yurull:
you are right frank, i visited it last year.

Frank:
Yes, you are correct...15 months ago in May of 2009. Your student must pay closer attention.

I heard from dad! He is doing well. He just arrived at the Ural Factory. His computer is broken as of 5 days ago, and he hasn't heard about the fires or seen anything. He gave me this message to post:

The sidecar "Purred" me the 3530 miles between Ulaanbaatar and Irbit.
My computer is dead, but I will try to post in the blablablog the update on the ride.
Dimitry is already working on the little maintenance on my bike and I will have dinner with Iliya the president/owner of Ural who lives in Seattle.
Life is pretty good, I will take 2 days to relax.
Humbertof AKA Yurul

Le sidecar m'a emmene sur les 5649 km entre Ulaanbaatar et Irbit en "Ronronnant". Mon computer est mort, mais j'esserai de poster sur le blablablog de ma balade depuis la mongolie. Dimitry est en train de faire la maintenance de mon sidecar et je vais dinner avec Iliya, le president d'Ural qui vit a Seatle. Tout va bien, ca va me faire 2 jours a me reposer

I expect the next front page photo will be a huge wall of flame, along about the middle of the coming week.

Tony san:
Maybe with Hubert jumping through the middle of it! ( I really hope not )
This is one risk I hope he didn't take.

Steve D.:
We are watching.

markhas in Whiskysconsin:
most likely he'll be camped on the side of the trail eating some BBQ rabbit. I don't think he'd eat bear... Russian or otherwise. :-)

I think that Hubert is riding like the wind, across Russia, on his way to France.

He's a man on a mission.

Ride, eat, and sleep when, and wherever, necessary.

No time for large cities, no internet connections.

He will catch up with us when he gets where he's going.

The distance is great and it's only been 5 days.

Tony san:
Well put Richard. He will surprise all of us very soon. I keep trying to calculate his whereabouts but I imagine I will be very wrong.
How's your bike Richard? Run in yet? Any problems? Want to join me in 2012?

Richard:
Hi Tony San,
I'm still breaking in the motor (I've been busy doing some other things lately, like going to dentist and doctors appointments).
Next week I'll have some time to ride. Yeah!
Mongolia in 2012? That's a tempting offer.

Tony san:
I will be riding from Japan to England via Russia, Mongolia and Scandinavia. You can ship your bike to Japan where i will be happy to show you around for a few weeks before leaving for Europe. Ha, still tempted?
Do a google search for mz overland.
It's a google sites site.

Amitiés à toutes et tous !

Not a problem!

"All explosive and radioactive materials have been taken away," the head of Russia's nuclear agency Sergei Kiriyenko told Medvedev.

"I can guarantee that even in an extreme situation with squalling winds there is no danger to nuclear security, no threat of radiation, explosions, or environmental consequences," he added.

Claire:
Ils ont dit à la TV aujourd'hui que les russes mentaient et qu'il y avait un nuage radioactif qui se dirigeait pour l'instant vers le nord de la Russie !!! mais que si le vent changeait ?????? tout était possible !!!

Bonjour à tous,

Je pense qu'Hubert est au courant qu'il y a le feu en Russie ! Lorraine a dû lui dire et puis il y a la TV en Mongolie !!!!!
Il n'est pas fou au point de se mettre en danger ?!?!?!

Bonne journée à tout le monde ;-)

Claude Stras-f:
Si on est sûr qu'il a l'info, pas de pbs.
Merci CLaire

Claire:
C'est tellement grave ce qui se passe que tous les pays aux alentours doivent être au courant !!! Donc si jamais Hubert ne l'était pas (??) à un moment donné il le sera forcément ?? Je l'espère du moins.

Isn't the fire problem in Russia
quite a bit north and west of
Hubert's location in Mongolia?

Tony san:
Quite right Paul but Yaruul is definitely on the move and it will not take long to get to Irbit. It has been said that the news of any major disasters are slow to emerge on Western news.
Fires in Russia, Flash floods in Central Europe. Life is full of uncertainties. Still I'm sure Hubert is aware of the situation and maintaining watch on the news by computer.
Ride safe Hubert, we are thinking of you

To Lorraine and Jessica.

Hello,

I hope you get in the U.S. the latest news on fires that threaten tonight Ural nuclear sites, and you are in contact with Hubert to inform it about.
This information comes from official circles in Russia. When you know that they are always still slow before announcing major disaster, it would be prudent to advise Hubert to stay in Mongolia some time or return to France by plane.
Best Regards and sorry for the bad mood...but i think it's important to worry now about that situation

Hi Hubert,
Your dental bridge work cost you $25 and was probably a lot of dental work.

In comparison, I went to the dentist for an exam, one small filling, and a cleaning and it cost $416.

What a difference!

Teeth ARE important though.

Enjoy your bridge! Eat well.

Ride safe!

tony san:
Thanks for that Richard. I must make a note of saving any dental work or maybe also anything at the opticians for when I pass through Mongolia in 2012.

Alex Smith:
Had a complete xray of my teeth, and a checkup $330. I'm scheduled to go in on Wednesday for a cleaning and the 2nd cavity of my LIFE. I expect to pay just over $300 again. Could have flown to Columbia for that price tag... Damn.

Richard:
Insurance is a good thing to have if you're getting dental work in the US.
Many people go to Mexico to see a dentist.
Although Mongolia ( or Thailand ) would be more fun. Dental work usually isn't fun for anyone except the dentists.

Bear - Just be careful riding through Russia! Maybe find a way south through Khazakstan again, and through to Turkey! I know you want to go that way! ##@*%!*%! any rate - just be careful - it's that we all Love you (L and J most of all)! Bon Chance, mon ami!

Tony san:
Not a bad route to go south through Khazakstan, Russia, Georgia and onto Turkey but that means Hubert will miss Irbit. However Khazakstan also has fire problems. There is smoke stretching 3000 kilometres and Moscow is on a health alert. Maybe by the time he exits Mongolia (he has extended his visa) the fires may have subsided a little. I hope Hubert takes his time.

Tony san:
Having said that, Georgia is a little unstable at the moment

On the subject of riding through Russia:
Perhaps Hubert should get another oil reservoir air cleaner to breath through.(?)
The air looks pretty bad in the Fire Zone and parts nearby.

I wish the Russians the best in getting through these terrible fires and the hot/dry weather.

Bonjour Hubert

Le magazine Le Monde 2 fait un article sur les "nouveaux aventutiers" je me suis dit qu'il manquait quelqu'un mais tu rattraperas cela avec ton livre à venir.
Ton discours sur le dentier est très touchant dans ce contexte d'Aventure. Les grands espaces montrent parfois les choses essentielles tout près de soi. Nos dents sont un capital rare à préserver avec amour et raison. 25 $ c'est vraiment super, merci à Gana.

Quels sont tes projets après la Mongolie ?
Repos ou nouveau départ ?

Claire:
Lire son bla bla blog du 1er Juillet où il donne son programme pour la suite.

Another satisfied customer :eek:

Richard:
This may be someone's idea of Adventure Travel.

Hans:
She is beautiful: Let her go and get new teeth in Mongolia, like Hubert just did, have her eyes fixed using Laser surgery and voila: Good looking gal !

Paul:
yah...that was my thoughts
exatly...

LOL:
Berckkkkk !

Paul USA:
think she is running for
"Miss Wiskey-consin"
this year...

markhas in Whiskysconsin:
We may just love to have her. Unlike the plastic injected molded phony flatlanders our values are don't go for criticizing someone for their physical looks, especially if they aren't responsible for the "look". She just may be a very worth while real person unlike the phony plastic injected molded flatlander.

Using this photo as the butt of a joke only extenuates your immaturity and false values.

Paul USA:
that's righ 6 mo of light and 6 mo of darkness....take off the fake glasses and teeth, migh be a very attractive woman ther....
but then booze fogs the ming and muddles the message

Paul:
.....it is an advertisement
from a website called "bubba teeth"... If they are making
a living selling bad teeth
some one must see some humor
in it...
