Aussies - Vladivostok to Amsterdam 2016.

[Lou777AUS]

Adventure riding is addictive. Must be the fresh air. Do it.

I got back from Morocco last week, and next week fly Adelaide to Busan, South Korea, to pick up my KLR650 which currently sailing on the vessel Xin Yang to Busan.

The plan is to ride Russia, East to West. Not sure how that will work with the sun, but maybe we will need to start the day early and finish when the sun get below the visor.

This all happened because I was surfing the HUBB and came across Neil's post in Travelers Seeking Travelers of his plan to ride Vladivostok to London in May/Jun this year. He was hoping not to ride alone all the way. Perfect. Just what I needed for after Morocco. So, introductions and coffee at Macca's and we started to plan.

Ivan from Bikes Abroad has done all the work to get the bike shipped. All I had to do was pack it and get it to the local Honda dealer for crating. Wendy will assist us with clearances in Busan.

Mick from TEXVISAS has organised my LOI, Russian Letter of Invitation, and 90 day Russian Visa. (When getting an LOI, don't forget to ask for Multiply Entry LOI, if you also want to ride Mongolia and the Stans.)

From Busan we will ride north to Donghae, and catch the DBS Ferry (23hours) to Vladivostok.

Anyway, this is the start of my Russian Ride.
