Pete in UB
I live in Ulaanbaatar and would be happy to ride with you when you get here. I can also put you in touch with a guy who rents and sells Yamaha XT250s and Suzuki DR650s. Personally, I hope to be riding my own TW200 by then
send me a message if you want to get in touch

Living in China... riding in Mongolia
Pete,
I've just been offered a job teaching at a university in Ningbo (south of Shanghai) for the spring semester. I've ridden all of north and south america (arctic circle to antarctic circle), but Mongolia has been on my dream list for a long time. I figure I can buy a bike while in China to use.
Anyway, I just wanted to make contact and hopefully we can get together and do some riding in Mongolia next summer.
Hope to hear back from you.
Steve

Hi
I was this summer in Mongolia, entered from West - Olgii. I bought there a used chinese bike (half price, Shinerai Mustang) from an English guy who bought it as new in UB with ~550 EUR.
There is a company in UB, cheketours.com (tel 95161339); this company helped this English guy with papers and everything.
The bike is not comfortable at all, the suspension sucks, etc... but it's low fuel consumption and it works. I've ridden it from Olgii via Hovsgol to Suhbataar, where I've sold it (without papers).
this is a topic from some guys who bought chinese bikes in Mongolia:

Hi Pete, Sorry mate my plans have changed, I'm now riding from the UK to UB starting mid May. I know there is another thread that has just been started by a lady called Elise who is looking to do a similar thing though.
If you want to ride from EU to UB via the stans drop me a line!
Tom.

I prefer to be called a 'girl', at least until I hit my 30's
Yes, I'm planning a similar trip, but have decided it's probably best not to ship my current bike. From what I've read online (somewhere) you can't register a vehicle in your name in Mongolia unless you're there on a 90+day visa, not the regular visa Americans get upon entering the country. Any way around that?
Thanks!
