Do you happen to know anything about that as an option? Also...weren't you cold at night? Great set-up but I thought it'd be freezing at night regardless of the time of year.

Hi Carolyn, shows you how often I log into this account. It's a couple of years after your post! Not sure if it's still valid to respond but I shall regardless. Bike went via Korea to Vladisvostok. You should have no problem to ship to Japan. Reprots from firends is that Japan is an awesome place to motorcycle Then I believe there are regular vehicle ferries from there to Vladivostok. Might be wise to check if a carnet is needed for Japan.I could dig up my shipping compnay details if needed. I arrived mid June. Travelled June, July, August up to early September. Summer in Siberia is warmish, humid and full of mosquitoes and also short. I think it was high twenties for parts. Can get a cold day but I never had a problem at night. Starting at Magadan at that time and you're travelling the coldest at the warmest time. I wouldn't want to be there late-ish August or September. I'd recommend reserving at least 3 month's and do Mongolia and the "Stans" etc. I did a month to London and that's hammering on a little MZ. Happy to chat further if this helps your plans. Hope you are still planning to do the trip. You will not regret it. Cheers Phil
