Vladivostok to Europe May 2016

Is anybody out there who is planing to go from Vladivostok to Europe beginning of May?
I will arrive in Vladivostok on the 7th of May and riding a 2012 V-Strom 650 via Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan back into Russia and enter Europe in Estonia!
Would be great to find someone going the same or similar way...

I need a Multi entry visa as leaving and entering Russia more than 2 times. The business visa allows this . Standard visa are only single or double entry. Unless something has changed recently. I'm using an agent to sort this out for me .

I'm going early July.
If you are there early May, lookout for the "Opening of Bike Season" 2 or 3000 locals go for a ride around the city then have a big party.

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love.
