Barfistan 2017.

[Motorcycle RN]

So after an invite from Moin Kahn and much deliberation (about 5 minutes) I'm riding in Pakistan for the third time. Only other gringo on the trip is Natalie (2nd time). We came back for the fun riding, the spectacular scenery, and most of all, our friends and the Pakistani people.
In the group at the table our Motley Crew. From L to R, Raju, Sunny, Moin, me, Natalie, Saleha, Mukhtar.
I'll post pix when I can. Internet is a bit sketchy!

Not to de-rail your report, but does your guy in Pakistan run a touring company? Any info on that?

I read a Pakistan ride report from Rebeka from last year. Sounds like an awesome trip.

Moin's BARF handle is Kahn. He sets up the tours and he's pretty flexible.

Moin & Sunny. Fast as fuck on pavement. Dirt's an equalizer tho.

Hike to the bottom of Ultra 1, Hunza. Trail was a bit scary at times. Note to self. Bring sturdier shoes than Vans slip-ons!
