Vladimir and F650

[PeoriaMac]

Vladimir Yarets, the deaf-mute Bylorussian world traveler is now in California, in the San Francisco area on his F650. See www.yarets.com and click on Engish and guestbook. Last time we saw him in Illinois, he was headed for Canada....the Eastern side. Apparently he made his way to Vancouver and got another US visa.... Amazing..

Thanks for the Vladimir update, Tom! I'm glad that he's on the road and doing well. No mention or pictures of the new F650 tho....

I'd love to see him on the road again someday!

check again. www.yarets.com The new 650 is in the pictures section -- 2004 (new). He's managed to use some of the adornments from the Jawa on the 650. We understand he's headed for Japan next. meanwhile -- speaking of a Jawa, it and some of his belongings may finally be headed back to mother bylorussia. I talked with a guy Saturday who's been boxing the wrecked bike for shipment to Vladimir's son for the Vlad museum. FedEx is apparently picking up the cost of the 750 lb box...

OK - I got to the gallery section - thanks.

All of you folks who helped get him on the road again are my heroes and please don't say that you didn't do anything! Thanks. It's really an amazing and inspirational story.
