Hi Brian,
I have started preparing for the subjected trip and I am considering to leave the first week of April. Are you still interested to join?
Regards,
Pierre

I'm doing Amsterdam > Australia this year. Starting in the beginning of May and will be driving through Turkey, Iran, etc. etc as well.

Just replying so I can find this thread later on so maybe we can meet up :-)

If you need someone returning a bike from Mongolia to Europa just drop me an Email: http://schoene-motorradtouren.de/?report=en_job

Hi Bento,
Travelling from Europe to Australia was actually my initial plan however I had to re-dimension my plan and decided to reach Mongolia taking off from Annecy.
Yet, along the way, I might change my plan (eventually) and keep going to Australia via ???
Can you please inform the route you have chosen, the length of time of your trip, the provisional budget and the bike & equipment you have selected?
Thanks and regards,
Pierre

I'm still planning a lot of stuff. I invited you to the FB group, send me a message on FB if you want to ask me something :-)

My rough plan is to start in May in The Netherlands and go to Turkey, maybe a small detour to Baku, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kirgizstan, China, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, (maybe Vietnam?), Malaysia, Indonesia, East-Timor and then ship to Australia.

I don't have a set timeframe but I'm expecting to travel for about a year or so. Maybe if I'm still up for it at the end I'll ship to South Africa and back to Europe from there haha.

Anyway. Route through Europe is still unknown but I think I will drive south as fast as I can to get to nicer weather. Maybe via Lyon > Italy so that's close to Annecy. Thinking of Annecy makes me want to go on a skiing trip :-D

Via (shipping from) Vladivostok and/or Japan ?

That is probably the easiest in terms of all the countries and visas.

I hope you have an enjoyable trip. Whatever you do don't navigate by Garmin as it will most likely send you via Capetown. :)

Awesome trip how many are there now on this trip ?
Have you set a date?

Actually 3 however there is some disagreement over the departing date from EU Countries.
I personally intend to tentatively leave on the 2nd of April from France, moreover I am considering to change a bit my trip as I learned that entering Iran requires a deposit of 1.5 the nominal price of the Motorbike which in my case is a substantial amount, the bike being new! Therefore, as a matter of principle I might shortcut Iran and Turkmenistan and catch a ferryboat in Azerbaijan going to Kazakstan.

Thankyou how long is the trip ish pls

I have no time constraint thus I am flexible to adjust with the other riders

We forecast about 3 months

Alors ce voyage?
