American RTW route planning
Hello riders! I’ve been riding and traveling for many years. My most extensive moto travel has been limited to 2 weeks in Baja Mexico. I’ve recently retired and just bought a new T7 of which I plan to kit up and take round the world in stages. Of course after reading some of the posts and stories on here coupled with the US State dept warnings I’m a bit confused on what might be my best route. For context I know much might change as the next few years unfold internationally and I’m willing to adapt on the fly. My first stage will likely be across North America summer of 2026. I would likely ship the bike to Europe for a summer 2027 ride through Europe and then east.
What is my best route east? Turkey-Georgia? Can I make it through Iran or is there a bypass somehow into India? If someone has a route map they could share that would be very helpful. I’m ok with riding India, Nepal, Myanmar with a guide, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam. Maybe there are other considerations I haven’t taken into account.
My plan is to do this in stages and leave the bike at mechanic shops or other secure locations along the way. Any tips for this as well?
Super glad I found this resource and invaluable connection with other riders out there! Thanks in advance for any tips you can provide.
