UK to India

[Scarab]

Hi.

I am planing to leave the UK at the beginning of Aug. and hope to enter Iran some time close to the 20th Aug. and in to Pakistan about 30 days later. I normally ride alone but it would be interesting to meet up with anybody going ether way. I am riding my Indian Enfield 500 back to its homeland. I would also like to communicate with anybody who has been in Iran since the fuel rationing started and find out how they got on getting fuel.

We are traveling two ip on a Honda Africa Twin.

Hi Ciprian

With a bike like yours you will leave me in the dust despite being 2 up.

Have you decided which crossing point to use?
Any idea on how the fuel rationing will effect you.

We are in no hurry :-) , so speed is not an issue.
We will probably have a GSM phone with us. I will PM you the number so we can keep in touch in case of any problems.
Also we hope to keep our blog at

updated, so you can also check there for the latest news.

Probably Bazargan, as it's the easiest, more direct route from Dogubayazit.
Do you think it's a bad choice ?

I am a bit concerned with the fuel issue, but I think that with some money and some patience everything can be solved :-)
