thanks everyone for the help (keep it coming) doug wish i new you had a cafe in bulgaria i did a 3 monthe eastern europe tour last summer eastern europe trip its a bit boring my site as it was done one the road, i have started the site motoloco.eu only a shit front page at the moment it it will be the site for our trip next year , i have just started the company motoloco ltd (very easy to do ) in the hope it may make dealing with some things easier

I went from Vladi to japan, rode around for a month, then took the ferry to pusan, & rode to seoul.

I did get to meet Chris while I was there, great guy. I hope to visit him again.

next time tho, I wont take the vladi ferry, as it was too much hassle thru customs.
If you DO go thru vladi, contact Yuri, he's a shipping agent, also a great guy & very helpful

one of these days I will make a post of how I got the bike into Japan without a carnet!
