I saw one of your videos on youtube because I've always wanted to do such a journey and I googled driving through Iran or something like that. I found it cool that you left from Montreal (I live there) too. Perhaps going from Paris. Do you think it would be easier for two people to travel by bus/train or to take the dive and buy two motorcycles and get a CDP. Did you get your CDP in Canada or Europe? How much backpacking experience did you have beforehand? I ask because the people in Iran and Pakistan may have been friendly, but the area is still considered dangerous so it's an ambitious undertaking. edit: grammar and coherence

I figured that I'd get a bike here, ship it to Europe, drive across Eurasia, and ship it to BC and drive it back. I guess that solves more logistical problems than it starts. How accessible were car mechanics along the journey, for oil changes and maintenance. How often did you rely on your own knowledge of mechanics? Thanks for doing the AMA!
