Europe - Vladivostok this August
 
Hi Folks,

If anyone is keen to join, let me know, intention is to leave the bike or donate to someone then catcha flight back to oz (my home) :)

Be careful - if you cross into the country with a vehicle, you will need to leave the country with that vehicle. Leaving or donating it would mean paying the import duties. Theoretically you could scrap it (with paperwork showing it has been crushed and is no longer a vehicle), but you might have trouble with that on the border as well.

Plus, you know, the pure human notion of "don't just leave your trash at the end of the trip for others to clean up".

I see...we'll my thoughts wasn't trash or to save coin...it was a humane thing as in it's a very decent bike and someone from a less fortunate house might enjoy it ;)

If you take the route through Russia , you do not need a carnet, so technically you can leave your bike in Vladivostok and fly out. Better to sell so that you do have proof that you have sold the bike , lest it gets used for some nefarious activities when in your name.

You will be extremely hard at such distances on a bicycle. Russia is not always designed to ride it. Especially on a bicycle. We went to these places by train. Have they such a tour by train http://rusrailtravel.ru/tours - Trans-Siberian Railway Tours . Here on the train for such places it is. And on a bicycle the beauty you will not see, and on roads simply to go not that absolutely. And there is something to see there.

And this is just the first little things that come to mind.
