Travis Beard’s adventures with the Kabul Knights Motorcycle Club in Afghanistan continue.
Brother Fahim soars no-hands over the Herat crowd on this second-hand dirtbike.
After riding Chinese motorcycles for three years we were due for an upgrade.
We’d upgraded before. I went from the Chinese Super Kabul to the Chinese 180cc Caspian and Jack from the Chinese Carolla to the Landcruiser 200cc! But we’d been shown the value of Japanese engineering on a previous journey, and after much wrangling of information from our Kabul mechanic, Rahim, we learned he was buying his Japanese bikes from two brothers in Herat, Afghanistan’s third-largest city. It didn’t take long for Jack and me to come up with a plan to buy bikes in Herat and ride them home via Kandahar’s Highway 1.
