Hi Tiffany,
Andy from "The Yak Street Boys" here.... I've just been reading your blog & it sounds like you've had a fantastic time. Glad you made it back safe & sound & amazing news about being featured by BMW !! I've gotta say though... you are an inspiration & thoroughly deserve the recognition for your adventures. Take care, it was lovely to meet you briefly & safe travels wherever you may be headed next.

Hi Andy
We looked out for you in Ulaan Baatar and I know at one point Erdem met you guys on his bike. That morning after we had waved you guys off from the field where we'd been camping in Siberia, we found out we had a totally flat battery and had to push Thelma the quarter mile through the mud and dirt track out to the road to flag someone down for help with a push start. I can't believe we didn't check her before you drove off.
Thanks for the hot mugs of tea you guys supplied that evening. If you're ever in Cornwall, do pop in.

Maybe because you're not going fast enough to catch up with any of them!
I really like your website and good luck with the rest of your journey - perhaps we'll meet on the road somewhere in the States when I go back to get Thelma.

I've been watching your progress for the last six months and have been very impressed. I'll be at the MCN Bike Show as well on Sunday- I'd love to come and ask a few questions as I'm heading across Asia in 2011.
I'll come and find you on the stand. I'll be the one wearing a Triumph t-shirt with a silly haircut.

Great to hear from you - especially as your email details are in my missing bag so I can't contact you.

It was great to meet you in the road near Oaxaca and to hear about your journey up from Peru and hopefully we will be able to meet up on the road somewhere in the States next year?

We have been with Tiffany for the past couple of days listening with total astonishment to her incredible motorcycle adventures. Her feat of having circumnavigated the globe, not once, but twice, indeed is amazing.
And every inch of these travels, from the very beginning in 1997, has been achieved on her BMW, Thelma.
If BMW were to learn about Tiffany and her 17 year old motorcycle, we would think that they would rush to the opportunity of promoting Tiffany's extraordinary BMW accomplishments.
