Russia/mongolia
 

Hello,

Planning to depart from Bulgaria (where my bike is stored) between mid-April and 1st of May. Route not yet finalized. Maybe via Turkey, Rep. of Georgia, back to Turkey then the ferry across the Black Sea to Russia then east to Mongolia. Want to explore Kazakhstan but no visa yet. Another possible route: Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Mongolia (saving Turkey and Rep. of Georgia for the return leg). Would like to meet local bikers and fellow travelers along the way. Prefer to ride solo mostly but would consider riding with the right partner or group for at least part of the way. I'm a U.S. citizen. 52 years old with 37 years of riding experience. 16 months, 32,000 miles and 23 countries in Europe the last 2 seasons. Alaska wilderness experience. Riding a BMW F650 Dakar. Meet me for a beer or cup of coffee?

Cheers,
Steve
