Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Fascinating talk last night from Lyndon Poskitt who has spent the last 5 years travelling round the world on his KTM and doing 5 rallies on all the continents whilst doing so.

Worth having a look at his website and YouTube and FB sites. Man has he lived in those five years.

I’ll put more up later but have a guess at how much those 5 years cost.

This includes all this running costs, food and accommodation etc. He reckons he camped for about 1/3 of the time.

He covered 160,000 km and didn’t spend all his time riding.

Have a guess at the cost.

25 grand

I guess a lot depends on where he is. The price of a meal varies from 50p tp £50.

I reckon he could do it for £3k a year if he's on a tight budget.

£45,625.

Just to add, to do the Paris-Dakar as an individual without a team of mechanics cost him £100,000 each time. He has done it three times now.

Best in mind his costs will include fuel to cover 160,000kms.

His bike averaged 46 mpg over those miles.

I thought you were trying to tell us it doesn't cost much to feck off on a bike.

If you're adding everying including the bike build and the costs of entering races then £750k.

I really don't know, I'm just guessing.

It cost him £85,000 over the five years including three of the rallies he did but excluding the Dakar.

Oh....I thought it was excluding ALL of the rallies, that'd be why I low-balled my guess..........


You guys buying that story at all?

Worth every penny imo.

I bet he has lived more in those 5 years than most of us will in our life times.
