Sorry that I havent been here for quite a while. I would like to thank all of u for the kind advises and tips. I hv finally sorted out my route. I will fly my bike to Tashkent instead, and from Tashkent will cross to Kazakhstan (Shymkent, Taraz, all the way to Almaty), then head east to Karkara Valley and enter Kyrgyz. Spend 2 days at Issyk Kul, then head to Song Kol, Naryn, Tash Rabat, Kazarman, Jalalabad, Osh, then enter Tajik and the M41 Pamir Highway, divert to Wakhan Highway (Langar, Ishkashim, Khorog) and back to M41 to Dushanbe. After that I shall reenter Uzbekistan, and depending if I can get a Turkmen visa, I might enter Turkmen before reenter Uzbek for the 3rd time and back to Tashkent for flight home. I hope I can manage the road and the route that I chose wont kill me....LOL. Many thanks for the suggestion to read trip reports from others.

As for shipping my bike, myself and I shall fly on the same flight to Tashkent by Uzbek Airways. The cost from KUL - TAS is not so expensive as I dont need an agent to do the shipping for me (I know how to do it myself), so its going to be approx USD800. (Add another USD150 to get the agent to do it for u). The one which will burn a hole in my pocket is to ship the bike from TAS - KUL. The agent service and the shipping cost is USD2000, more than double the fare to ship it from KUL - TAS. It is ridiculously expensive concerning that the bike is not going to be put in a crater, but will only be wrapped (wrapping cost itself is USD300). I wonder if they wrap it with a gold platted plastic? :confused1:
