Turkey Mongolia
 

We are two British bikers riding from the UK to Mongolia on a pair of XT660Z, We are currently in Bursa Turkey for a couple of days. Then plan to ride the northern coast of Turkey to Baku. Anyone up for joining us drop me a text on 07538345303.

Stuart & Oli

Hey Stuart and Oli,

when will you arrive Mongolia? We are a couple and now in Omsk.
I saw that you will go to Baku and take the ferry?
We have done this way bevore 3 Weeks.
Consider:
the ferry is not really an awesome ferry.
You must use your own straps to fix the motorbikes.
The ferry drives ~39hours.
Near the ticket office (on the main street to north, next crossover) is a supermarket to get some water and food. The food on the ferry is not good.

Do you want go over gerogia?
At the Azerbaijan border we must plead for a longer permission for our motorbikes, but they where helpful and gave us some fruits and a meal.
(4hours for this border)

The Kz Border in Aktau is horrible.
We needed 6 hours to get all stamps for a documet, to give/leave "this" at the gate!

Everything was an experience... this is a journey :scooter:
