There are lies, damned lies etc etc. Well here are my statistics for Mongolia:

2,326km (800 on tarmac, the rest on dirt)
The central route in 10 Days
0 Brake pad changes
1 Oil Change
1 Oil Filter Change
0 Spark Plug Changes
0 Chain Changes
0 Tyre Changes
0 New Headlamp Bulbs
0 Punctures (Mongolia!!!)
0 Breakdowns
1 Accident
0 Fights (excluding Chip)
0 Encounters with the police

The accident didn’t involve anyone else, so technically it was a crash? Both the bike and I have recovered, though I’m glad the big sandy stretches are over. (Except maybe for Kazakhstan??).

Teg 1880 / Ltr – Cheapest petrol ($1.00)
Teg 2000 / Ltr – Most expensive petrol ($1.06)

Total cost – Cheap!
