Be careful - if you cross into the country with a vehicle, you will need to leave the country with that vehicle. Leaving or donating it would mean paying the import duties. Theoretically you could scrap it (with paperwork showing it has been crushed and is no longer a vehicle), but you might have trouble with that on the border as well.

Plus, you know, the pure human notion of "don't just leave your trash at the end of the trip for others to clean up".

If you take the route through Russia , you do not need a carnet, so technically you can leave your bike in Vladivostok and fly out. Better to sell so that you do have proof that you have sold the bike , lest it gets used for some nefarious activities when in your name.

You will be extremely hard at such distances on a bicycle. Russia is not always designed to ride it. Especially on a bicycle. We went to these places by train. Have they such a tour by train http://rusrailtravel.ru/tours - Trans-Siberian Railway Tours . Here on the train for such places it is. And on a bicycle the beauty you will not see, and on roads simply to go not that absolutely. And there is something to see there.




And this is just the first little things that come to mind.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
