Tiger, the routes have been very well documented since the 5ish years since this thread (by people in this thread).

There is a decent gravel road between Bratsk and Severobaikalsk (reportedly the easy part of the BAM road, I have only ridden the sections further east). There is a gravel road that connects Severobaikalsk to Irkutsk and Olkhon island. There is also a hydrofoil (boat) connecting Severobaikalsk and Irkutsk via Olkhon. The hydrofoil is a passenger boat and I doubt you could travel with a motorcycle.

For maps have a look at open street maps.

pushbikes are allowed on the hydrofoils. Motorcycles definitely are not.

Prices on hydrofoil for overbaggage were quite high, I think 4 or 5 % of ticket price per kg.

Membership - help keep us going!

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. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
