This young chap resembles an axe murderer in the picture, but is actually a very nice fellow. I must have just pressed the shutter at a bad moment! Keiran at the BMW dealership put the KLR in a crate with me. The winch here is to lower the bike once the front wheel has been removed, so it fits in the crate.

We couldn’t crate it with the front wheel in, which is a bit if a pain. It means I have to find some muscle in Korea to lift the bike while I fit the wheel, but I reckon it’ll be OK.

I managed to fit all my riding gear, camping gear and other stuff in. At the far end I’m hoping to assemble the bike and ride off into the sunset. It’s that easy, right?
