I rode U.K. to Vladivostok on an xt600e at the time there was little proper road between Chita and Khabarovsk known as the Zilov gap.. It took 5 days to cover that bit. The long distance on the sign is to Khabarovsk. From Vladivostok I got a ferry to South Korea and road across Korea to Incheon and put the bike on a Ro Ro car ferry to Southampton with all the KIa and Hyundai cars bound for U.K. In all it was about 6 weeks to Incheon from memory. Total distance was about 8500 miles ishhh Tyres lasted as diid chain.

That is awesome!

I have a short term plan to ride to Kaliningrad... Vladivostok is a little bit further though

Any other important advice other than just doing it?

I think its tacky and would be ok in a garage but not in a house the bits should be attached to a motorcycle!

Still we all like different things.

Me too, that’s awful.

Never understood bikes in the house either.

I think it looks cool, but it seems like a waste of bits of a great bike.

If he has the rest of that RD350 I'd love to own it!

Quite possibly , it took 6 weeks by ship to get here this year! (couldn't fly due to Covid)
