London to Vladivostok, luckily I speak Russian

Hi Kingvin and all

this summer looks like a time of our lives for many of us :-)
I indeed plan as well to depart London (in May) and head toward Vladivostok.

Just starting to plan the route, look for travelling mates and get all the gear needed. I know that my GS Adventure will be a bit heavy for certain parts of the road, but having a reliable bike is more important for me.

If any of you guys are living in London, let's grab a 'cup of tea' and exchange experiences and ideas.

Columbus74, OldPunk.......

I and my frined (BMW 100GS PD and Suzi Vstrom 650) are leaving in May 8th from Olomouc in Czech Republic. It's RTW - our lifetime trip starting in CZ leads over Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia (maybe Mongolia) to Vladivostok or Magadan or Kamchatka (it depends from transportation possibilities to USA).
What about spend few kilometres on the road together? .....

Co ty na to Marian co povies?

catch me if you can

I'm a bit ahead of some of you guys heading west to east, as I'm already in western Kazakhstan, but if you plan to race across Europe you may catch me up, as I'm not racing anywhere!

If any on you guys get the chance to meet up with Nick en-route, do!!!
He's a great, dependable guy....even if he does ride a yamaha ;o)

I had the pleasure of riding through Europe to Kazakhstan with him, before I took a fall on the roads between Maqat and Maqir. Nick is now heading towards Uzbekistan, Kyrgistan before heading back to Almaty in Kaz.
