Team Hansen Transmissions consists of me on a 20 year old CBR1000 sportsbike.
I am a 39 year old father of 3 children and an expat living in Belgium. I am a welder by trade and know one end of a spanner from another, but Im no mechanic! I have been riding motorbikes for over 20 years so I know just how tough this journey is going to be on my body. I wont be entering war zones but I have made this journey as big and as interesting as possible, apart from Tajikistan, Im hitting every country between here and China.
I expect the total journey to take about 100 days and so far, my wife has been really cool about it all, even though she must be sick of hearing about the rally by now!

| 42 weeks 3 days ago | Tianjin, China. I was woken up in crisp clean white sheets by the gentle tapping of room service on my door, bringing my pre ordered breakfast. After breakfast, a shower and more coffee, it was time to be on the move again and leave this place of luxury and bellboys. read more » | 0 | |

| 42 weeks 3 days ago | UlaanBaatar, Mongolia. Well DHL let me down, no letter of invitation as promised. Me and my team sponsor are really starting to panic now! The handover ceremony is on Monday and unless some miracle or some serious string pulling is going to happen tomorrow, the ceremony that is arranged for me to handover my green cheque will happen without me and the green cheque! read more » | 0 | |
| 43 weeks 3 days ago | UlaanBaatar..........still!! Well I'm still stuck in this horrible city of alcoholics and pick pockets! UB is the absolute opposite of the whole of Mongolia and I can't wait to get out of here! So what's happened since my last blog? Well, I've done lots of clothes shopping as I had donated everything to the CDPF charity. read more » | 3 |
