Hi Alex

thank you for your contact. yes it could be interesting.
I have 3 questions:
- when you write "you can join us with your Goldwing, at least for some part of the trip", do you mean just for the off-road day trips (since on the other hand, it is written 100% asphalt roads) ? how many days like that?
- what would be roughly your price for joining?
- usually, how big are the groups you have?

thanks again and regards
Luc

Hi Luc,

Sorry for long reply. Didn't receive any notification from the forum..((

1) We usually do 99% asphalted tours with just few days and few segments of gravel roads, something like 20-50 km off road riding, but still there are always asphalted road going somewhere near, so no need to ride unpaved road.

2) Depends on how many days and if you will just ride approx the same way and join us in the evening for dinner or you will visit all the same excursions, Russian banya (sauna), Ural bikes test drive, local excursions and other staff. Full price for 28 day tour with own bike is 6500 EUR and this includes hotels, excursions, national park, railway ride, russian sauna and many other things. plus guiding and technical support

3) 5-6 riders

Hope it help. Will be waiting for your answer

Berlin to Berlin, are you living in the area of Berlin, even you location is set to Lyon? If so: Maybe we can meet each other. Nevertheless your plan sounds so crazy that I like to hear more about it.

Well 25.000km is really a lot to ride in 65 days. And there will be definitely the need of breaks for maintenance, tire change, recreation, - and a little bit sight seeing. This means riding more than 400km / day on roads that are not as good as the roads in Middle-Europe for sure.

Carsten
