Rtw 2017

Hello all!
I am planning a RTW from ist april 2017 thru 365 days or some. my route is as below:

India to Vlad/Russia to Moscow : april ( Is it Cold/undoable in Russia?)
Europe in may-june-july
North Am in aug-sept-oct
South am in Nov
Ocean transport to Australia dec (20 days abouts)
Australia in dec-Jan
Bali to India jan-feb-march
End

Some questions and thoughts for help from all of you:

Russia: will it be unbearable cold from 10am thru 4pm (my estimated riding day)
i am planning a top of 50,000km as i cant afford more than that.( i cant afford that as well/but i dont know that yet!)

where will the weather be against me.

i am planning couchsurfing and hostel-dorm mix of overnights. is this good?

I am as of now going 1Up/alone and shall hopefully meetup with riders along the way. (does that really happen)

Is the carnet respected in all places/or is there still a 'Fixer' amount?

As of now i have excluded China as its extremely expensive with a local guide etc. Though i keep hearing of changing rules/any ideas?

I am planning crossing the atlantic and pacific on container ships/any ideas?

I shall be riding a Royal Enfield 500cc!

i have been planning this for over a year and am as of now ready to roll in april 2017. so do pour advise.
my best wishes to all

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.
