Across Russia
Any chance you can wait until June? I want to travel from Vladivostok along the Trans Siberia Highway to Eastern Russia and into Ukraine, Poland and east from there.

i want to be arriving at the Eastern parts of the EU by mid June. I intend to set out from Vlad around first week of May, after the May 1st holiday. I reckon about 6 weeks to get to the other end of Russia and through Belarus and then into Poland. So, maybe not....but hey its a slow bike so maybe you will catch up with me!!
rgds, John

John,
Do you have a not later than date for your Vladivostok departure?
Riding slow is the way I want to go. Can I assume since you are riding the Bullet 500 that you will be riding on mostly hard surfaces (where available)? I am looking at riding a Triumph T100 modified to carry lots of gear.
Do you plan on traveling into Mongolia or any other country before reaching Belarus? I would prefer to stay in Russia along the Trans Siberian Highway.
Have you traveled across Russia before?

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.
