Im currently planning a motorcycle adventure tour of Russia for 2010. The plan is to ride from Vladivostok to Europe, incorporating Mongolia and Scandinavia. The ride would take no longer than 6 months stopping to smell the flowers (could be done easily in half that time), and 25,000km to complete.

We are in very early stage planing our trip through the Stans,Russia-down east to lake Baikal,Mongolia alaska cruise shore excursions reviews and back not yet decided to where.So we'd like to start around mid/end May 2010 from Bulgaria for about three months duration including in reverse.Would be nice to stay in touch and to meet up somewhere for a ,chat whatever.
Planning for a 2-up ride from NSW to Darwin, then S/E Asia ( Singapore or Malaysia alaska cruise shore excursions reviews entry ) , Vietnam, China then Mongolia. Decide which way then... soo many options !.. but looks like being back into China and the Old Silk road, Tibet and Nepal, then pickup Alexanders alaska cruise shore excursions reviews path.

I'm keen to travel North through the rough-centre of China, by entry from Northern Vietnam heading for Kumming ( quite spectacular alaska cruise shore excursions reviews I'm told ). I understand this border point is now open, but unsure of vehicle alaska cruise shore excursions reviews entries.
To clarify this I have an agent I have used on a few visits to China looking into it for me, including other issues regards alaska cruise shore excursions reviews riding / insurances / access to Tibet etc. From feedback I'm quietly confident.
Three or four of us are looking to ship our bikes from Sydney to Vladivostok and head west to Europe via the Stans. We plan to leave Vlad about the first week in May 2010. We can fit about 6 to 8 bikes in a 20 foot container, by far the cheapest way to get them to Vladivostok. We are interested in getting hold of anyone wanting to ship at the same time to share costs. Last year a friend shipped 4 bikes from Australia to Vlad for about $AUD5,000. I think we can do it a little cheaper.
I'm off in 2 weeks to work in South Korea (teaching business at a university). I've heard it's actually quite easy to get self and bike to Vladivostok from there. I'll be working in Seoul until the end of May, then would be very interested in the ride (or at least part of it). I'm particularly interested in Mongolia.

I made the ride from Inuvik to Ushuaia solo 2 Decembers ago, and last December I was invited to test ride an F800 gs, crisscrossing the Andes to Punta Arenas from Santiago, which I did. I would like to make the ride from Siberia to Europe alaska cruise shore excursions reviews but I would like to make it in 2 or 3 months as I still have a family at home. From what I hear, May might be early and June could be better. I just returned from the Horizons meeting alaska cruise shore excursions reviews in Nakusp alaska cruise shore excursions reviews B.C. where I talked with riders who had come from Europe to Siberia. When I went south, I rode a BMW 650 gs. For this ride, I have a new 2007 KLR650. What about you?
I m planning the same trip. Originally I m from Lithuania (can speak Russian) and I m living in Sydney at the moment. I
