I'm on a year long service/missions trip in Asia that will come to an end this July. After that I would love to buy a motorbike in Tajikistan/Kyrgyzstan and make my way to Europe and I'd love to meet up with you on my way.
Do you have any advice for a foreigner buying a bike in Kyrgyzstan, is power of attorney good enough? I'd PM you but I'm new to the forum and need 5 posts first.
Every day with the Lord IS and adventure.

Sounds like an awesome ride. If you can not make it all the way to Mongolia we have stored bikes here before. MuzToo stores bikes in Osh too. Let me know when you get close so we can meet somewhere.

Advice on Kyrgyzstan Buying Ural
Hey MAC,
How are you?
I have a few questions I hoped you could help me finding an answer to.
I am currently in Nepal where I was planning on buying a royal enfield and then ride it home to Germany, but due to the earthquake this seems nearly impossible to go through with at the moment.
So Im looking into alternative routes and Kyrgyzstan looks like a good starting point.
One of the main problems is that Ive been on the road for about three years now, (just finished my trip around Australia on a harley davidson) so I have to get all my visas on the road.
Kyrgyzstan shouldn't be a problem, neither should Kazakhstan.
Do you have any information about Azerbaijan? My plan was to cross the caspian sea by ferry and then transit Az within 72hrs and cross the border at Nakhchevan/Dilucu.
One of my main concerns at the moment is the bike markt in Kyrgyzstan.
I'm interested in buying a ural, preferable with Side car.
Do you have any information about availability and prices for urals in kyrgyzstan at the moment?
Thanks heaps,
Ps: drop me a pm if you want, I don't have enough posts yet.

Hello Mac,
Me and my partner will arrive in Bishkek on the 4th of July.
We are going to fly-in and send our Africa Twin by truck, all ready for one month of offroad 
We have another friend riding an Africa Twin coming through Russia and a third friend flying from Indonesia (his Africa is already in Osh). So 3 Africas, 4 people.
We want to go to Pamir and we have 1 month for Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. We will come prepared with beautiful tracks, no doubt about it.
Give us a message if you please.
We are looking forward at meeting fellow travelers.
p.s. Here you can check some photos from our last year 1 month of Morocco.

Thank you and see you in Kyrgyzstan!

Wonderful, looking forward to meeting you. If there is anything I can do to help let me know. I will be taking some short trips through the mountains this month, so if you can give a little heads up it will help me to schedule my time.
Mac
