Here's my route so far. It's based on needing no Carnet, which is a pisser as I'd have loved to do Aus/New Zealand but can't have everything. Looking to extend into South America and around then back up.

I'll be on a diesel Enfield doing 160mpg and 60mph unless on a hill. Going to keep it as cheap as possible without unnecessary suffering .
Don't forget, even though you do need a carnet for Oz and NZ (although my friend did Oz without one last year) you can get a working holiday visa in both, and then you can earn some pennies whilst travelling around. You can get in on a working holiday visa until your 31st birthday. I'm also 28 and going to Oz/NZ for this reason. :-)

How did he get into Aus without a Carnet?, it's said everywhere to be impossible. NZ have a temporary import thing so it looks like I could get around that requirement.

You sorted your Carnet then?

Hi sjbuckle83!

Which direction will you be going? I'm 29 and I'm planning a trip with a mate from Denmark to India, via Turkey and the Stans about the same time as you, e.g. spring 2013.

I'm Icelandic, he's Belgian and I'm heavily lobbying for a Ktm 640 Adventure

regards, Loftur

Hi Lothur,

Sounds like a great trip! We are heading through Europe into Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia then back into Russia and on to Magadan. We're riding Yamaha XT600's!

Maybe our paths will cross in Kazakhstan??!!

Feck that sounds exiting!. I don't think we'll be going that far north sadly. But we'll see...
