First post: Lisbon to Vladivostok, Magadan
Hello everyone! This is my first post, so I guess I should not introduce myself.
I should say right away that I am not a motorcyclist, but one of your two-wheeled non-motorized brethren. As such, I won't be able to offer anyone much advice, but I can say that if during my trip I see a motorcyclist in need of some help, I will return the good karma you guys give me here.
My name in Tim, and am planning a trip from Lisbon to Magadan. I know those two points are very distant from each other, which will leave everyone wondering why I have not added more detail. The truth is, it's because I don't even know where to start planning. When I look at the maps on google maps, I just don't see a continuous line connecting those two points.
I speak pretty decent Russian, and am doing this trip partly to hear people's stories- Russians tend to have interesting stories to tell. That is to say, I prefer to stay in areas where Russian is spoken, although when I look at the CIS map I see staying in Russia means making a big arc around Kazakhstan.
The Road of Bones between Vladivostok and Magadan does not even show up on google maps. Clearly, I am looking in the wrong places for maps.
A deep thank you for anyone who can help me out.
