S/E Asia to Europe
I'm thinking of riding from S/E Asia (actually Singapore) to Europe via Myanmar, India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey before hitting Europe. I'm thinking of starting sometime in April/May time.
Last year I rode from Singapore to London via China, the Stans and Russia and enjoyed it immensely so I'd like to do a repeat this year with a different route.
Anyone interested in joining me?

Any plans yet regarding how long you will be on the road for that trip? Also what bike are you driving?
Regards

Probably 2-3 months.
Last year I spent 10 weeks Singapore to London.

Do you have your bike already in Singapore? What bike will you be using? I'm indeed interested to potentially join. Can you provide some more details about your plans and yourself, maybe by personal message?

I shipped the bike from London to Singapore via vessel. The cost for the crate and shipping was around 650 pounds while the cost of getting it out of the Singapore port was around SGD 1400.
I dropped the bike off at the company's warehouse close to Heathrow. The company was motofreight, see their web-site: https://www.motofreight.com/
Are you planning to do a similar trip?
