Hello Martin! We will be leaving Germany on April 1st for almost the same way and beeing seniors three things are important for us:
1. safe riding: never at night, never too fast having 4 months enough time for the whole trip.
2. good food
3. convenient nights
We will sleep in hotels in the cities (for secure parking) but take our (lightweight) camping stuff with us as well for beeing independent and enjoy nature. We found many informations for camping here: ioverlander.com
We will go to Iran first but later not to Turkmenistan. Our choice will be the Caspian Sea ferry and it should not be that bad! https://caravanistan.com/transport/caspian-sea-ferry/
We will change our tires twice during our long trip. First in Baku at Motomondo (Continental TKC80 - for Pamir!) where we will order the tires in advance. The owner is Sabir and he speaks english. https://de-de.facebook.com/MotoMondoAgusta/
Second in Russia (probably in Ulan-Ude) - again we will order tires in advance (Heidenau K60 Scout) - this time at Denis Panferov (he speaks english as well): http://www.motorezina.ru/
In case you understand a little bit german I would like to invite you to my website with all the informations concerning our "farawaytour" (or just use google translator!).
