Europe and Russia in 3 months on new R12GSA
Hello all,
Well, every 3 years I prepare a nice bike trip in Europe. Next one is starting in 3 months. 50 days, starting in Paris, then Swizterland, Austria, Hongria, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia (boat from Poti to Sochi), than Russia, Crimea, Odessa, Kiev, Moscow, St Petersburg, Lituania, Estonia, Letonia, Poland, Tchequie, Germany and back to Paris and back to Reunion Island as I live there (10 000km from Paris).
Everything is prepared remote : New R12GSA, with Jesse and Touratech accessories.
Of course, the exact road might change depending on info and POI and get.
I do it alone.
This is just for info.
Any ideas, suggestions, welcome.
Thanks for the HUBB.
Tobern.

European trip on Adventure
Goodness - your trip looks exactly the same as we have started planning - with the exception of me shipping my new 1200GS-Adv (on order...)to the UK from Cape Town, then via Eurotunnel to France - via the countries you list and then back again. Hoping to take 3 to 4 months - with wife on the back ...
Would love to keep in touch, check up on the equipment you are taking and also how the bike performs. Obviously as a South African - we still have to worry about the Visa issues (wife is a Brit) - but I suppose that is part of the fun?
We hope to do the "trip" in 2008.
all the best & enjoy...

Same again . . .
Hi Canard
We're (Wife and me) doing a similar route, but riding all the way east to UB, then north into Russia and heading back towards Moscow and back to the UK (22,000km). Plan on leaving the UK early April '08.
Sciii - maybe we can ctach up?
Tobern - enjoy your trip.
Anyone else interested in tagging along?
Regards
Mick

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
