Where are you from? Normally (but not always) you don't need a visa for Kyrgyzstan.
Fuel: m41 Sary-Tash in Kyrg. 25km after border.
Turkmenistan: apply in home country, pick up on the road is the safest way i'd say.. i pi ked it up in Tehran, pretty easy (not like Armenia where the embassy is like hell)

You do not need an invitation letter fora transit visa. Only for a tourist visa.

Some embassies will apply for the visa for you and send you a visa authorisation. You don't need to send them your passport (just copies) and you don;t have to pay anything. You print this off and get your visa at the border.

I did this in June 2014 - arrived at the remote border crossing between Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan with this authorisation which I was sent by the London Embassy, and paid US$35 for the visa.

Ciao Scalpo,
I'm from Milan too:-)

As for the info you asked for:
-Kyrgyzstan visa: you don't need it
-Fuel on M41 is not a problem: you only need to ask in villages
-Turkmenistan visa: many different options, but not that easy, it depends how much time you do have.

Wich bike are you using for this trip?
Where do you live in Milan?
