(Mongolia) Stans, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, + ?
 

Seek partner for Almaty, Kazakhstan adventure. I will do Mongolia first, but theride begins in Almaty, Kazakhstan because it seems like the first city in the Stans to buy a bike (from Mongolia must do Russia or China).
Our tentative route would be Bishkek, Tashkent, Dushanbe, Samarkand, Gates of Hell & Turkmenbashi, ferry to Baku, Tbilisi, Yerevan, Cappadocia, then ?
If decent bikes available in Almaty, start this July and enter Turkey about October. I dreamed of this trip to end in St Petersburg, but with Ukraine . . .
I am an old, banged-up, USA moto traveler stranded 2+ years ago in Ecuador after riding in from Perú on my 4th WeeStrom. Before covid I spent 12 years riding full-time in 65 countries and have lived and worked in, or traveled to, 111 countries ... so far. I started racing bikes 40 years late at 55, hence my nickname, El Pinche Gringo Loco.
As an explorer descendant, and retired teacher & coach, I love connecting with locals, but with 100+ fractures and 3 prosthetics, I am less capable riding off road.
I speak English, Spanish; get along in French, Italian, and Arabic, but am vegetarian. Cuenca, Ecuador til departure.
Suggestions about route or anything else are invited!
