Hi rtw paul, thanks for the link!
Chris, that's a good point. If the road to Magadan is impossible, I will need to plane a backup itinerary going back to Ulan Bator and selling my bike there or leaving it there at the oasis for a futur trip....
I don't want to have to change my tires in Irkutsk, will send the bike with new tires.
How is it organized for the shipment of tires to Magadan? Is it expensive? How to pay, because I suppose we need to pay in advance.
I read an article about this alternative to tubes and mousses, does somebody knows about it? I am interested. There is an article in Motorrad Abendteuer from this month.

Magadan on the NFR is always possible in summer (except this year  ...). The OSR requires luck with the weather (as well as good equipment and riding skill). Order tyres from Moscow from Dean/Denis and he will ship them to your chosen location(s).

I'm sure you've looked at an atlas: UB to Magadan is about 5000km one way. Tynda to Magadan is 3000km.

No. Might drop in at the XRV national at Cumbria. But probably not either. After 6000 miles this summer, I'm a bit biked out at the moment. I will however be at Danny's Haggs Bank Opening in a couple of weeks.

yes Chris, I think a set of new tire will do the 5000km from UB to Magadan. But i will need to change them if I need to go back. That's a good thing tires can be sent to Magadan.

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.
