Vladivostok to EU mid 2014
Hi all,
I am thinking of doing a trip from Vladivostok to Europe mid 2014. From Australia it would be best to travel via South Korea and than take the ferry to Vlad. However, after just watching The long way Round, once again I noticed that the camera man had to buy a new Russian bike for which they paid something like $1200. This would possibly be cheaper than freighting my own bike to Russia. In that case it would be just a matter of going to Vlad. with some throwover panniers and riding gear and start the journey. Local bikes can be fixed easily and cheap. I don't know if it is possible to ride out of Russia into Europe. If not...even if the bike is dumped it is still a lot cheaper than crating your own bike back to Aus.
Anyone out there with any experience in this. anyone interested? Riding buddies? I have placed message on the hub to the Vladivostok members but without any reply. I have no idea if how many members there are over there if any.
cheers
Richard
