I rode from U.K. to Vladivostock in 2004, North Korea was not possible to transit. There were loads and I mean loads of RHD used Japanese motors driving the other way. Russians were buying them by the boat load and ferrying them into Vladivostock then driving them west to sell. It was quite usefull, if ever I arrived at a junction unsure which way to go if I waited a few minutes a used Jap motor would appear from one of the roads...no maps needed lol. Vladivostock had huge open car sales lots full of used Jap stuff, landcruisers were very popular. I took the ferry to south Korea and then put my bike on a car delivery ferry, Korea to Southampton. You can drive Uk to Singapore, though China takes a bit of sorting and is expensive..

great site that, Hooli, although this had me a little concerned: "or only travel short distances, say 2-300 km in a day" 180 miles a day every day is plenty long enough I reckon!
Depends on the roads If you want to travel or holiday I guess.I can imagine going down Africa that'd be a good figure, crossing france it's time for a teabreak.
