I've been thinking about doing the road of bones for about five years now, starting from the northeast England riding to magadan then fiying back to Moscow then riding back home from there, with been a property landlord there always something stopped me but I'm 50 years old and I need to do this, at first I was thinking what bike to use BMW gs as that's what I ride but I think it will make more sense to do it with a smaller bike endure still with touring boxes so not to small,
It 9000 miles to magadan the most I've done is 4000 tour of Europe. I'm not planing a set time as I want to take in as much as possible so would expect anywhere between 70 to 100 days. As I've said its just at planing stage, I happy to do this on my own but my wife would be more happier if I did this with some one so I thought I would post this to see if some one like me been thinking they need to do something like this before they can't so please pm me let me no your interest I would be happy to disuse what you would want out of this adventure.
I was planing to do this 2015 I now it a long way off but it will give me and possibly others so We can start to get together all that I may need, I would expect a forecast budget of £10,000 at today prices so in 2015 expect £12,000 that would include everything except the cost of the bike as possibly you may have already got that,
I'm from the northeast, don't hold that against me I've been apart of the cycling touring club for Many years (cycle camping in remote areas) been around motorbikes for a good few years, I do all my own bike maintenance.
If any one has any info or advice all is welcome as I've said if some one is thinking of doing something like this I would be happy to talk pm me and I can send my contact details
Thanks graham
