Azerbaijan anyone?
If there is anyone in the neighborhood that would like to tour Azerbaijan in the coming weeks let me know. I've got a week off (October 12-21), a borrowed bike and am looking for company. Email is the best way to get in touch.
Cheers
Susan

Azebaijan
Interested indeed. I have free time over that period but i wonder how i could get all the visas to get there in such a short period of time. Plus the time to get there...it seems to be quite a challenge..

Already there!
Am in Azerbaijan at the moment. Was thinking of leaving in a couple of days due to overstaying the visa for my bike. My personal visa is ok, so I guess the question is, Are you already here? or coming and or interested in catching up.
Location - Baku.
Seen - very little
direction (eventually) - Iran

Azerbaijan Visa($100 US Citizen) can be picked up in Istanbul same day...good luck finding the consulate though...its right off the Subway...if you need, PM for directions.
It can also be picked up in Tbilisi next day...Georgia doesn't require visa for US citizens...
NOW the foreign registered vehicle entry is a bit dodgy, as they will ask for a deposit at the border, OR require you to park it at Customs within three days of arrival, IF you come from the main gateway from Georgia. There is another entrance in Northern Georgia that will grant you 10 days time in Azerbaijan, that my fellow travellers used as we were en route to Turkmenistan.
I'm not convinced there's ANYTHING worth seeing considering the hassle entering Azerbaijan...I personally would spend the time in Georgia...BUT if you must, bonne chance.

Azerbaijan is beautiful!
Luckily I didn't have to mess with boarder issues since the bike and I are already in country. But I have to say that I have seen some incredible scenery since I have been here and the people have been fantastic. You just have to get off the main roads.
I haven't been to Georgia yet and I understand it is spectacular, but little Azerbaijan has a lot to offer as well.
Cheers
