It seems that there are more people interested in doing this trip. I am planning for being in Vlad in the beginning of June as that would have the best weather all the way through. Would be good if we get a group together to share the cost.

I visited my mate who has done this 2 yeas ago at great expense. If it comes down to costs, it would be cheaper to start in Europe and even to train the back to say Moscow. As it was my mate had a mishap and broke his leg just past Irkutsk. The bike had to be shipped back to Aus. That trip cost him $10.000 but that included to transport the bike back to Vlad and in a container to Aus.

There are definite cost savings in numbers. I don't care either way. Ship my own bike via Korea or japan to Vlad or buying a bike in Ireland (see above) and starting from there.
Cheers Richard

Hi guys , it has been e few weeks. is there any further interest form other persons to ship to Vladivostok. I checked out the link supplied with regard to the chap who flew his bike to Korea. When you add up all the costs the AUD 2800 end to end is not all that bad. (from Sydney) Often there are many charges at various places but this is an all in price. Need 7 bikes though to make it worth while.
Departing around June 1 from Vlad gives the best weather conditions.
lets hear it
Cheers Richard

Hi Guys
I have received a very favourable quote for LCL transport Brisbane to Vladivostok for around AUD 800. (using a (guess) size of an 1.6m3 crate.) This is delivered into Vlad. other cost to be added at the other end , but have a contact which has done clearance before.
Sailing time 21-28 days
It has been confirmed that the best departure time is during the first week of June
Richard

Perhaps we need a single threat
Hi
I have noticed several threats re Russia and overlanding to Europe.
Perhaps there is someone who can put that in a single threat for departure early June from Vladivostok and/or Aussies wanted to combine shipment ex Brisbane at around $1000 direct to Vladivostok. I am travelling a lot at present and would have difficulty maintaining fast contact
regards
Richard
