Dirk have you looked at getting the bike in a container from Vladivostok to Anchorage? If you go, I think the term is, "groupage", you share a container and of course its cheaper. You just hop on as a passenger. Most vessels handling containers have provision for some passengers.

And good luck, can't describe how envious I am of you.

And if this guy can get around South America on a 125 ,shouldn't we all be doing it rather than thinking about it?

I am not jealous in any way what-so-ever.

I mean who on here wants to look at a website and read up on someone travelling the world on motorbike.

You should stop all this sillyness right now, and act like a responsible human being and stay here, work and pay taxes like the rest of us.

Good luck... I'm rather envious...
Only two years on a bike as well...niceone!
It's my only major life ambition to do a round the world trip on a bike...and take my sweet time doing it, i'd hate to have to travel to deadlines...
Anyway, hope it all goes well!
