Nice Nomad AAT.
Is this your general route, and you have other points of interest that you don't want to miss but are not on this route? Gobi desert for example in mongolia? or in georgia not just crossing with the shortest route?
It will add km to the 22k count of course, and surely on time.
I see for example that most part of russia is on tarmak road, are there any alternatives?
@Nomad: I had my crash with my RD03 near Aksaray, 5 years ago

Well actually my main goal is Ulan Bator. So i want to go there as fast as possible. When im in there im planning to visit Gobi and other surroundings. I will stay one month in Mongolia. Other places such as Georgia is close to me so i can visit there any time thats why dont want to waste my time. Maybe on my way back i can spend time on alternative routes. But i want to finish this tour before November.
Want to visit Xinjiang and Darvaza gas crater but its not easy to visit(bc of visa, guide etc.)
Aksaray is one hour away from my place

Yes.
Left Paris late May 2019, riding 2x WR250r. Passed through F,D,Pl,Lt, Lv, (relatively quickly and easily ~300km/day), R arriving in Moscow.
Loaded the bikes on the trans Siberian train for the ride to Novosibirsk (having already driven the roure in a 4x4, we know that its a long boring drive, we wanted to save tires, chains brakes for Mongolia).
Passed through Mongolia, exiting in the far east, arriving in Vladivostok, then the Ferry to Japan by mid August.
The best part of the trip was couch surfing from one Russian biker club to another. Check out ADVrider Tentspaces page and make contact with our Russian colleagues. From there they'll pass you on to the next club. Such great people, such solidarity. Highly recommended.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
