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)

There is even a forum where there is very up to date info.

Is there even a possibility to get into Turkmenistan with a visa for more than just tranist when you ride with your bike? I heard you need a guide to get a visa but how would that work if I travel with the bike?
For how many days are the transit visas?
Cheers
Xenia

Hey Scalpo
I only picked up my Turkmen visa which takes still a few hours (they make you fill out the application form again).
I applied for the visa in my home country (Belgium) 4 weeks prior to picking it up... luckily i did that because I was the only one who was permitted exit via Konye-Urgench (so I could visit the crater)...

I believe you can (pretty sure), but give it also at least 3 weeks and if it's still like last year, you might not get the borders you asked for. But look these things up, I'm unsure why i did get and others didn't get Konye-Urgench...
