Now it is 4 days and he is at Taksimo. Thats pretty normal. 5-7 days is normal from Severobaikalsk to Tynda.

Fast is 3 days to do Tynda to Severobaikalsk!

[edit] He took 6 days Severobaikalsk to Tynda. Its normal speed. Good job on a big heavy bike. But a bike like that will be heavily damaged by the BAM.

I just crossed Mark about 200km south of Severobaikalsk, a kiwi on a F650GS. He just finished the BAM with 2 riders on DRZ400's. They should just be a few days ahead of Peter. A Russian biker also did the 110 solo. The water levels seem to be very low at the moment.

@boarder. Would be nice to ride with you. It is likely that it will be too late for me though.
I plan on being in Yakutsk in about a week and may spend a few days there. But i guess you consider riding the opposite direction.

Hi Whiskey, was your friend with the AT going through the OLD summer road? alone?
How did he managed to cross the rivers?

Cheers

Now in Irkutsk
 
The Kiwi on the F650GS and Two Aussies on the DRZ's are now in Irkutsk for a few days.

@Zimi

Yes, he made it alone. At first try, when heading to Magadan, he reached Tomtor. High level of rivers flush away one Russian bike not far away from Tomtor. He said Russian rider waited on gas station for transport. Then he decided to use new road to Magadan. On way back he tried OSR again and made it. Currently he riding "half broken" AT on M53 to Krasnoyarsk.

Wow, fantastic!!! Your friend has lots of guts!!! Alone on such a heavy bike!

I hope he will share some more footage and videos of the OSR

Thanks for update!
