Moin’s world journey ends today

Expatiate Pakistani-American Moin Khan who claims to have ‘A Different Agenda’ of uniting the two nations will reach his destination, Lahore, today (Saturday). Relaying across the world on his Honda CBR 600 F4i motorbike, carrying love and peace for the American and Pakistan people, Moin started his journey from the Golden Bridge of California on June 10, 2011, to Lahore showing the world that Pakistan people are peace-loving.
Moin entered Pakistan early this month from Iran and is now looking forward to seeing his dream achieved when he reaches the Expo Centre Johar Town Lahore. PakWheels have made all the arrangement for giving Moin a warm welcome. Moin, who solely travelled 40,000 km on his sports bike showed the people on his way that Pakistanis are a peaceful nation.
“This solo motorcycle journey took me from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California, to Lahore. It’s as unplanned as a ride could ever be. I’m hoping to last 4 to 5 months on the road. I’m not sure of the exact length of the journey, but it will probably be around 25,000 miles (40,000 km). I have no idea where I’ll be staying during the nights, have some camping gear but no idea where the campgrounds are. The unique thing about this journey is that I’ll be doing it on a sport bike and not a touring bike!,” Moin had said before starting the journey. He was having a simple agenda in him mind – to tell the world the peace loving nature of the vast silent majority in Pakistan. “As all are well aware that Pakistanis the world over are seen and treated with suspicion due to the negative news that filters through the world media about our country,” he said.
“As a Pakistani, I was deeply disturbed by the fact that after having been shown cooperation and extra ordinary kindnesses by governments and people of over 20 countries, the Pakistan customs at the Iran and Pak border (Taftan) restricted the entry of my bike into Pakistan. But after a couple of hours, thanks to my supporters I have finally arrived at my destination, Pakistan,” he added. However, now his journey of pain and love will terminate at Johar Town’s Expo Centre with a lot yet to be achieved by the government and the people of Pakistan.
