Re: Chengdu 67 year old motorcycle ride 9 months, 6 countries with their own pressure cooker cooking
6 month 20 on the 20 day of the rich but poor tour of the high pressure pot, Huaxi city newspaper reporter saw Deng Zongquan, he and his friend on the double Avenue 4S shop for Benz to do maintenance. Before he retired to work in a pharmaceutical company, he and his son were very well-off, and there were several good cars. However, the motorcycle ride that lasted for 9 months is a pure poor tour.
"riding a motorcycle is physical work. Look at my muscles now." Deng Zongquan, who just sat down and had a cheerful personality, began to show his arm and show his best after riding. His hobby is photography and tourism. After his retirement, he had plenty of time. He started to travel by motorcycle. Before riding Southeast Asia, he has been riding a number of rings in the country, including the sparsely populated Xinjiang in Gobi, and the Tibet in the snowy mountains.
although rich, but it is poor. In Deng Zongquan's QQ space, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, Laos, Thailand, Kampuchea, Vietnam... A photo of the old man has seen the beautiful scenery of the old man. The sun tanned on the photo was only an ordinary domestic motorcycle purchased for only 7000 yuan. The equipment is also very simple. A total of 6 bags are on both sides of the motorcycle. Besides tents and motorcycle accessories, there are also a pressure cooker and salt, vinegar, and so on. From last year's departure to this year's return to Ru, we often cook our own meals all the way, live in the cheapest hotels or set up tents.
the most moving: Khmer people in the middle of the night to stir fried rice
people on the road, even the Putonghua do not slip Deng Zongquan encountered many situations in foreign countries. But motorcycles rode abroad and touched the most simple people in the region, leaving him with many moving details.
what moved him most was an adventure in town on the way to Siem Reap, Kampuchea. After entering Thailand from Kampuchea, the weather was extremely hot in the middle of the afternoon. He almost fainted and waited until 6 in the evening when the sun went down. It was dark at night. He finally rode to a decent town.
he was tired of looking for the right foot. Before that, he often saw snakes crawling on Laos and Kampuchea, so he had to find a tent where he had a floor tile. At 12 in the middle of the night, he slept in a tent on the doorway of a private house. In the confusion, he was awakened by the headlights. The more than 40 year old man came back with his wife and children in the van. The man looked at him for a moment and then went back to the house and closed the door without speaking.
Deng Zongquan felt that the host had no objection and went on sleeping. Soon after, the man knocked on the floor and woke him up again. He had a fried fried rice on his hand, and his hand beckoned, "hungry, eat quickly!" Deng Zongquan felt the kindness of the other party at once, but he hurriedly refused to wave his hand. Deng Zongquan took the fried rice, and he ate it very hungry. The man was very happy. He came back to the house and brought 4 bottles of mineral water. "The local mineral water is not cheap, and this Khmer family is very simple, so I am very moved." In the early hours of the morning, Deng Zongquan put the plate on the table outside the house and whispered goodbye to the family.
the most dangerous: the wind blows off the motorcycle
this transnational ride, Deng Zongquan said that the overall danger is not much, only occasional small conditions such as anchoring. The real danger is riding Xinjiang last year. At that time, he rode motorcycles to the bitter water area of Hami. Due to lack of attention to the weather forecast of the day, the wind began to pick up at noon. At first it was comfortable, but the wind was gradually increasing, and he had a normal riding feeling a little fluttering, and then the motorcycle began to sway, it was also dark, the helmet heard a snap, and it began to fly out of stone, when he realized that it was not right.
a big truck stopped. "How did the old man come here? How dare you ride this weather?" The driver of the lorry warned him to stop. "The driver said, this super strong wind is not easy to meet, but also asked me, why the police do not stop you, I said I did not shine 4 points on the running, the police did not see me." Deng Zongquan quickly listened and tied the motorcycle to the guardrail. When the strong wind came, the large lorry beside him was blown away and his motorcycle was blown away. After the wind stopped, he found the motorbike far away.
