Hi Transtrain - there's not much detail to go on here.

What's your expected timescale - riding hard all day or loads of stops to look at stuff? Time limited worker drone or lucky enough to be retired? Any idea of your proposed route? What bike are you running - CG125 or GSA1200? Big budget for hotels & restaurants or smaller budget with lots of camping? Riding back home or shipping back home? Your age & experience - first trip abroad or seasoned traveller?

I am also heading to Ulaanbaatar this year. I'm leaving at the end of May and taking a fairly off road route via Central Asia (Pamir).

Do you have a route planned?

Hi 1moremile/skyliner,
Outline plan is to meet with calltoserve in Moscow around 7th of June, allowing about 6 weeks, mostly camping, with occasional hotel/B&B. Preference is mainly dirt roads, I will be on klx 250, calltoserve on BMW1200GS. Calltoserve airfreighting on to USA/Canada, I may ride back from Mongolia or continue to Vladivostock if there is someone to ride back with me. Traveled all of Europe extensively by truck, not been further than Venice by bike. Im 51 years old, been riding 36 years and will be quiting my job to make this trip. Any more questions, please feel free to ask

Am currently getting time off authorised for a 3 month ride from May or June. After Mongolia are you heading back to UK? I had planned to see a friend in Bulgaria, before or after an excursion of which Bulgaria would be far enough. In live in the south UK, so a start off is possible.
What bike are you using?

Heading over to Europe from Canada with plans of heading east with eventual destination being Magadan. I will be on an 650 XChallenge and my wife on a XT250. Retired so no time limitations. Plan on as much off road as possible.

I will be crossing Turkey in June/July where I used to run off road tours and lived for 7 years. I have never been farther east than Cappadokia so will be exploring this area in detail. I even speak a little Turkish well enough to get fed and watered.

Happy for companions.

My base is in Bulgaria where you are also welcome.

Chris.
