Vladivostok 2017
In 2018 the plan is to sail my wee Yacht over to the French Canals & leave it there for a season.
Then ride to Vladivostok, mostly on blacktop all the way ~ if that’s possible. Bike is an ’02 Yamaha fjr1300 (with heated grips) that’s just done a 6000 km UK – Romania round trip. Rough plans is to go thru as many Countries as possible & see a few Capitals, Berlin, Warsaw, St Petersburg, Moscow etc etc. Plan to drop off at the Mig29 base & try to cadge a ride ~ And whatever fun idea crops up en-route. I’m ex RAF Fighter engineer, handy with tools & been around the block a few times ~ fairly self sufficient.
Riding buddies would be nice. But if you are the type that has to have all the T’s dotted & the I’s crossed afore you cross the hearth in the morning. If you worry about what might go wrong (Lots will !!) rather than what fun it will be. Someone to look after the Cat/Dog / Garden / Granny ,, then perhaps not best suited.
Haven't even thought of how to get back..
