Stage Tour I: from Munich to Cypres
6200 km
Overview
from: 2012-10-12 until: 2012-11-04
It all started with a crazy idea from Basti. Why not travel around the globe in different stages? The plan was to go on trips for 3-4 weeks and leave the bikes at whatever destination we are at. Fly back from there, earn some more money and after half a year or so start again from that spot.
Since we are always up for crazy ideas we started planing the first Stage of our World Tour and looking for a well suited bike. Without much discussion we all chose the Honda Africa Twin. Known for its reliability and comfort on and off the road. Cheap and easy to maintain. Perfect for our adventure.
From that moment on the name Threesome with Twins was born. Once we all bought second (or in Fabis case 8th) hand Twins we started prepping them for the journey to come. Oil change, tire change, brake fluids... basically everything what looked old and needed replacing. We fixed them up so we wouldn't have to do all those things on the road.
Our first stage led us in just 3 weeks from Germany through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece and Turkey to the island of Cypres. Through rain, storms, mud and gravel. Whatever the road and nature threw at us, we and our bikes overcame!

It was a truly epic journey and just the beginning of what the future would hold for us...
