I Invited a Stranger from Telegram — and We Rode Into the Mountains
This is the first part of our motorcycle expedition through Kyrgyzstan. The rest is coming soon.
This trip began with a single post on Telegram.
A few days before departure, I decided to ride through Kyrgyzstan and wrote about it on my channel. Dima responded. We had communicated online before, but had never met in person.
A few days later, we met, mounted our motorcycles, and headed into the mountains.
I didn't know then that Dima would manage to lose his documents almost at the very beginning of the trip, and that my body would react to the altitude completely differently than I expected.
This is the first part of our trip through Kyrgyzstan. But it's not a guidebook or a route report.
This is the story of two people who barely knew each other, but for some reason decided to spend a few days together, ride across Kyrgyzstan, and see what happened.

🏍️ The Technical Side of the Trip
In this film, I deliberately didn't turn every stop into a review of the bike, gear, or equipment.
But after the trip, I had a lot of observations.
How does the Ducati DesertX handle on pavement, in the heat, and on rough roads? How did the luggage system work? How did the gear perform, and what would I change?
I'm publishing a more detailed technical analysis and conclusions from this trip separately on Telegram:
