My Korean insurance cost me $150 because I got it while I was at customs.The agent came to me. He also took me about 5-6 miles to the cargo storage area where my bike was being held. I think you will do a lot better if you buy it before you get there.

You will also need to get some paper work from the DMV in Incheon before you can ride in Korea. Some people use an agent (maybe Wendy Choi). I took the hour bus ride to the DMV and did it myself. Wish I could have spent more time in Korea.

Next time bud,, drink is on me.

Wish I had more time there. Really wanted to meet you. I've read many of your helpful posts. My home town friend is doing a similar trip this April. I have mentioned your name to him several times. I hope he has a chance to meet you. And i hope to come back to Korea in the next few years.

Mostly paved, with some parts unpaved and construction.
this parts can have 30km or more.

In August, I got 2 long parts back home which were hard to drive, it was raining before and it was all mud.
2 times about 30km

Without my Mitas 09 tires It would have been a struggle.
But I could see Russian bikers with choppers doing that.

On the Road between Ulan Ude and Vladivostock I can see a lot of pictures and stories , that it is mostly gravel roads.
But maybe I am wrong.

A lot of drivers have done this street, they may help you better than I do.

Is this the Klaus I met in Mongolia? If so,it was nice meeting you in the middle of nowhere. And my wife is doing well. It meant a lot to me when you asked about her.
