Hello Michael and thanks for your response. I have been able to find two alternatives for my friend to fly by himself from Anchorage to Magadan (or almost there) but still looking for options to get the bike there as well.

Here is what I know so far:
- Bering Air will get him from Anchorage to Petropablov on a chartered flight - Waiting on Quote.
- AirRussia US will take him from Fairbanks to Magadan via Providenya-Yakutsk. Around $1300.-
- Neither of these will transport the bike as it is considered "dangerous goods"

Finding this out would be fabulous, particularly if this service would have a turnaround route that could carry the bike.

The options explored so far for shipment are:
- FESCO can ship the bike from Seattle to Magadan via Busan-Vladivostok. Not quoted yet, but total transit time 45 days including customs (I think this is "if all planets align").
- Also working with World Cargo Int'l who can airfreight the bike from Seattle to Busan - They have also offered to help find a Ferry service from Busan to Vladivostok that can carry both my friend and his bike...
- These two options require him sending the bike from Anchorage to Seattle, which will cost an additional $$$ and take several days. This makes riding down again a logical choice, but the two flight options above become irrelevant.

That is exactly the reason why he wants to go there... the "Road of Bones"
