Thanks for the encouragement guys. Here are more details on the ride -
I will board a ferry from Sharjah to BanderAbbas, will spend 5 days in Iran riding from bander abbas, shiraz, Esfahan,Tabriz and finally into turkey via bazargan border.
I will ride for four days in turkey, with over night stops in Erzurum, Samsun and Istanbul.
From Istanbul we ride into Bulgaria. I plan to ride across the country before stopping at the last border town of Ruse. This town Borders with Romania.
The next day we cross into Romania and ride until the border town of Arad.
From Arad we cross into Hungary and cross over into Austria. We stop in Graz. the next day and stop in Innsbruck, then ride to Berne in Switzerland. This is also an overnight stop. The next day is Berne to Calais. Which is the last town in France. And then the final leg of the journey from Calais to London via the tube.
The average distance covered wil be 500 kms every day. However a couple of days will see us covering around 800 kms.
PREP - ive been working on the plan for 6 months roughly. Although the actual execution was started two months back. This involves all the visas needed for the trip, route planing, carnet, feedback from riders who've travelled on this route in the recent past, preparing the bike, equipment etc. I will go thorough the details on these if there is interst.
