- Armenia

- Azerbaijan

- Iran

- Turkmenistan

- Uzbekistan

- Kyrzygstan

- Tajikistan

- Kazachstan

- Russia

- Mongolia

- ???



Depending on money and drive (heh) to continue further I see myself driving to Vladivostok or even further (Japan, Korea, US after shipping the bike and myself).



There's also a possibility of a route that doesn't cross Iran but that all depends on the regulations considering they've got a ban on any bike bigger than 250cc entering the country. This means that the route is not at all set in stone except for the -Stans, I would really like to visit them. It's going to take a couple of months at least and you can join for just a couple of days if you want or for longer. I'm trying to find work in either Mongolia, Russia or one of the -Stans so if I'm able to find a job there I won't necessarily go back. I'm still figuring that part out, so maybe I drop working abroad and I'll ride back.



While I do expect to drive offroad considering some of the roads in central-Asia are a bit crappy, I don't expect to drive straight through the mountains/plains and go far away from the mainroad and wander off.



Send me a message if you're interested!
