rtw starting Spring 2017 Vienna > Rest of the World > Vienna

[The_Dude]

a bit of a dream coming true...im gonna start a 6-12 month rtw trip in early spring of next year.

At this point a bit unsure of the route im going to take but roughly as it stands now it looks like this:

ship the bike by plane from Germany to Anchorage
Head south for 4-6 months to Ushuaia
again ship the bike by plane(most likely from Buenos Aires) to Vladivostok
Head for home again(via Kazachstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, Balkans...)

An awful lot of milage summed up in very little words.

Some stuff id like to do that would represent a problem route wise:

Alaska > Dead Horse and the far north ... i would have to push back the starting date at least a month to get somewhat decent temperatures. im an all year rider but -14° as a daily low i dont need

OZ > would require 2 additional shipping hops and thus $$$

Himalays > Could get away with no additional hop but the problem is that I would either have to go through China which represents an adminsitrative problem(license, plates, guide) or Pakistan and Afghanistan which represent a security problem.

Any thoughts and ideas on this route ? It's still a rough draft.

Also, anyone who wants to join for part of the way is welcome ;-)
