Gheidi who describes this trip as “Everest Motorbiking” told CHN: “We were supposed to start our trip by next month, however due to facing some problems in official process and lack of supports by governmental organizations such as Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization, made us to postpone our trip.”
The Iranian couple will make their trip with a 1000 cc motorbike. “This motor which is known as touring motor is special for world touring. This motorbike was made in 1979, however we have upgraded it for this trip ,” added Gheidi.
