Ride safe.

I'd be interested in speaking with anyone doing a similar route.

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.

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.
