Hi I'm not a company, I'm just some one looking to ride my bike across far places and back, you are welcome to join me if you like to do that.
Thanks

This is where I'm not to sure, organise transport from here to Canada, I can take a ferry to Korea then fly to anchorage with the bike, or have the bike shipped to Canada, depends on how long this all takes, I would be happy to share a container with others, I think I would be in Vladivostok sometime in August, from there ride the bike to New York and leave the bike there with friends fly back to England, then in 2017 come back and do the tat, or do the tat in 2016, loads to think about,

I'm thinking the xt 600 for the job with the bigger plastic tank, I've got wolfman soft luggage, I've also got bmw adventure panniers that I can adapt the racks to fit the xt, I need to think this out a little bit,

I'll be interested to know if anyone from the forum is planning to do this in 2016 about the same time, possibly be interested doing some of this route with me, I'm planning most of the trip across Russia will be camping, then from there I will work on things, the likely hood is I will mix it up a bit if I cross the pond.
Hi,

Will be doing the same trip in 2016. Shipping my bike to Europe this September and will leave it in northern Italy to resume next Spring. My plan is the same as yours; ride to Vladivostok and ship my bike back to North America. I'll be riding with hard luggage and full camping gear. If you haven't changed plans, lets get in contact.

Ray

Hi Ray
I've started sorting routes and getting thing in place for next year, can't come round quick enough, camping is a must I love it, I will be traveling with soft luggage wolfman stuff, I'm on a 1985 xt600 tenere, the tank range is about 500 miles, it's the 30ltr tank, The route I've got on my garin so fare is taking me though Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, ferry to Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia, Russia to Vladivostok, ferry to South Korea, then ether fly me and bike to Vancouver, or ship bike depends on how long it takes to ship bike, travel down the coast into USA to start the trans American trail. That's a rough sort of plan upto now, can anyone see any problems that I might encounter with this route apart from the South Korea bit I'll pm you ray maybe have a chat
Thanks

I'm planing on leaving about 1st week in May, I'll be stopping off in Greece, corfu, for two weeks as I'm getting married, while in corfu I'll be doing some modifications to my xt to prepare for the long hall.
My bike is now striped and off to the powder coaters, I'm rebuilding two engines one as a back up in case I need to have it sent out to me,,,touch wood,,,
Now that I've got my route sorted I can now plan visas,

matching plans

hi Lowrider,
I'm planning my trip along the same lines as you.
I'm on a 2009 tenere 660. just getting it all rigged out with sat nav, lights, engine protection etc.
I'm waiting on the sale of my house then I'm free to go with no return date.

I'm based in East Yorkshire mate so would be easy to meet and discuss some plans.
Ian

I'm in Manchester, currently out of country, but want to drop things late Spring for a big trip. I thought I'd register interest, sounds like a great plan! Not sure how much commitment I can make right now due to work etc.

Also on an XT, although a XT660Z '08.
