On Russian Bikes from Mongolia to France
Well,
This is all in the pipeline at present but.. We are looking at buying new russian bikes here in Ulaanbataar then riding to France. (Leaving at the end of August) The route is: crossing into Russia in far west Mongolia, down into Kazakstan, Russia agian, Ukraine, Poland, Czech, etc... (We both have British passports)
Some problems/questions:
We can ride but don't have current bike licences
No idea about visas.. yet. The Russian one looks like a real pain
Can you get decent helmets, leathers etc.. here in UB?
Any ideas if it's easier to ride across that way with a bike registered in Mongolia or Russia?
Any ideas on a time frame? I know of someone who drove this route in 3 months, i'm not sure if thats reasonable on bikes or not?
I know, I know, it seems like madness, but worth trying right!
Thank you so much for any help at all
