Dubai to London on a Triumph Tiger 1050
 

Hello

I am a new member but not a new rider for sure. I am riding from Dubai to London this month end on a Triumph Tiger 1050.

The ride will start from Dubai on 26 June, on a ferry to Iran. I plan to cover 9 countries, 8000 kms aprox in the two weeks on the road. The ride ends in London, from where the bike will be shipped back to Dubai.

Will post pictures of the two rides soon.

Look forward to share this adventure with all of you

Cheers

Good luck on your trip. Im heading the other way soon on same bike. Should be a blast. don't forget to do a daily write up on here or elsewhere so we can share your adventure.

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.

Which bike are you riding, and when are you starting? We are starting on July 1st.
