Hello, my name is Francesco, I'm 26 and I come from Italy, near Firenze (Florence).
I'm planning my "life trip" for the next year, leaving in may/june from Italy, to far East Asia, hopefully to Japan, but who knows...
No bonds, no prerogatives, hopefully for how long I like (depending on money).
This is the route that I thought some time ago (I have to cancel Kazakhstan because of the visas), the only great doubt is about the BAM road, I'm willing to find someone to travel with, there..



I'd like to spend my time not only wandering but also visiting great places; I will leave anyway, doesn't matter if I'll be alone; the trip will be as low cost as possible, like max 3000€ to get to far east Asia.

I will ride my special bike made by a Super Ténéré 750, now it's my Hyper Ténéré 850.



For first...I'd like to know about the BAM road from Tynda to Vanino..how it is?
I want to get there to get on a ferry to Sakhalin, going south to Korsakov and then ferry again to Wakkanai, Hokkaido, Japan.
How's the road in Sakhalin?
I will feel more safe if someone is going to ride the BAM with me.
Another question, will I find some knobbly tires in Irkutsk (or near, also in Ulan Ude or Severobaikalsk) that fit my bike (Super Ténéré 750 rims) to ride on the bam? Or it's not necessary to have knobbly tires to ride the BAM?

Any other advice, story to tell about..etc..I will appreciate it, thanks!
