Posted on 23.07.2021on 3 August 2019 when with the Vespaonline group we set off for the Mongolian Raid with 4500km of dirt track on a Vespa through the Gobi desert and the Altai mountains.

Mongolia we come!
Our support vehicle in Mongolia will be a white van called "Buhanka": military vehicle of Soviet origin produced starting from 1965. It is the most widespread vehicle in Mongolia, imported by the Russians during the period of Soviet influence in Mongolia. The engine is a 2500 HP petrol 75 with an average consumption of 20 liters per 100 km. Essential wire, screwdriver and hammer to repair 95% of the problems of this mythical vehicle.
Among the basic necessities we all have a compass. Necessary so as not to get lost in the middle of the boundless spaces of the Gobi desert, where references are lost and unclear traces do not always take you where you want to go.
Our Vespas have already left for Ulan Bator to be released in the Gobi Desert. The conditions of the roads marked by the guide are critical: "On the map they look like big roads, but often they are just tire tracks on dirt, sand or mud and there are very few road signs in the whole country."
After six long days of fear, with our wasps trapped at customs, we are finally able to leave on August 10: the joy is immense, the emotion beyond control, we are ready to go!
