To Magadan through the Gobi desert, or how to find of suffering on his 5 point) Hello!  New season – new trip...back In 2015 close to my heart is the route to Magadan.  Our country is immense to see and walk the famous route of the Kolyma alone.  But given my dislike of asphalt areas decided to add Mongolia with its Gobi desert and reach the Altai, with its huge number of beautiful off-road routes.  Post is a bit belated, because I start from Moscow on 25 April) But better late than after the fact...in Advance of the routes I did not make up, only the direction.  About it would be this: Moscow-Kazan-Sverdlovsk-Barnaul-Altai(circular route will update in place)-Mongolia(going below through the Gobi desert)-Baikal.  Here I make a stop for 1.5-2 months for the Kolyma impassable until the end of June.  Then come back and food to Magadan, if not enough, then return to Vladivostok. In all the cities on the route will be glad to new acquaintances and ...

Walking weekend in the forests of Kostroma Clear April day, an inner voice whispered in my ear that it would be nice to go for a ride to the next area in search of the unknown.  After a short Internet searches, it was decided to go, and the selected direction is to the North. Who cares what came out of it, welcome to under the cat. We start from Moscow on the M8 heading for Yaroslavl.  A good track with excellent pavement.  Small repairs on the turn in the direction of Kostroma, but in General, nothing criminal.  For 3 hours at a leisurely pace can be reached by any technique.  In Kostroma we were so limited to passing through on the main streets and visit local cafes Merano.  The school was pleasantly surprised by great service, cozy atmosphere, well, the price itself or in the example of the capital.  Whether it is a cafe in my neighborhood, I bet, have forgotten how to cook. So, after noon, having eaten, move out in search of adventure. After ...

Alanya - Antalya on Honda Shadow In August 2016 we with my wife were lucky enough to go on a honeymoon to Turkey.  Stayed at the hotel in Alanya.  Located on the coast of the Mediterranean sea, 138 km from Antalya.  Climb a few days in the city and all the surrounding beaches, we came to the conclusion that we are bored :-).  We decided to rent a motorbike and drive to Antalya. Rented a Honda Shadow 750 like, the year 2005 in the office of Martin Turkay.  The team there are full of Europeans by the name of Martin, a very friendly man.  I looked to my right, quickly issued what the paper gave us two questionable helmet and off we went.  We paid about 60-80 $ per day if I'm not mistaken.  Pretty torquey ILO was a Honda Shadow.  And the engine runs much quieter and softer than my Yamaha XVS 1100. Firstly, could case stopped at a gas station and filled the tank full.  Struck the price of gasoline, I do not remember exactly but 2-3 ...

  A quick step on Belarus Greetings to you, dear readers! It has turned out unpredictable and unexpected trip.  Chose a direction for the weather, because April this year was very mixed, first the heat and then the cold and rain.  We had 4 days and 3 nights, they estimated that during this time we will have time to pass along the route Lipetsk — Gomel — Minsk — Bryansk — Lipetsk.  Two days have drawn a route, booked the hostels, collected and bought stuff and put the Luggage on the motorcycle.  And now we're on our way, rushing to meet the Belarusian lands.  Oddly enough, but to go South, the desire has disappeared, when there was a sharp warm +20 according to the forecast, the temperature dropped to +8.  The first day we had to drive about 690 kilometers, and so as to leave only happened at 11 in the morning, before dark we have certainly not had time.  Then had a chance to check the light on the new motorcycle, and... it frankly sucks....
