There are a lot of theories when it comes to river crossings. Cross on the quiet part. Cross on the rough part. Choose a line and cross just before the water starts to break. Don't cross. All these are just rough guidances. Depending on the river, one way of doing it work here, another way there :no...

When you ride the Old Summer Road you will inevitably cross some rivers :evil Depending on the recent weather that can be easy or that can be impossible. We had our challenges with the rivers, but all turned out OK. Some were hard, but we managed to come through without drowning our bikes or ourself...

When you ride on a long trip like this, and several people riding together, you will notice differences among the group. Some drive fast, some drive slow, some stay up late, some get up early, some don't need to eat during the day and some needs food at regular times. All this gets very clear after ...

On the Old Summer Road there are two major road signs. One is the sign showing the border between Yakutia Oblast and Magadan Oblast. When entering Magadan Oblast the road turns worse :evil http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx46/EtronX/Trans%20Sibir%20eXpedition%202012/5%20Trans%20Sibir%20Tomtor%20t...

We continued further into the depths of no mans land. The scenery was absolutely stunning :clap http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx46/EtronX/Trans%20Sibir%20eXpedition%202012/5%20Trans%20Sibir%20Tomtor%20to%20Magadan/TransSibirTomtortoMagadan11_zpsd179e25c.jpg Some places the road was great :D htt...

As Steve wrote, we'd gotten many warnings about doing the Old Summer Road. Due to the rain the rivers were high and the road was impossible to ride. "No Kamaz, no Ural, no machine can drive now", one truck driver who stopped us said. Bad news :boid I did some sms'ing with Walter and finall...

We stayed two nights in Tomtor. Rain was pouring down and rivers were raising fast. Things could have looked better :huh In the house we lived there were a few other guys. Polish guys. After we got installed we had a chat and a beer with the guys on the porch. These guys were very experienced expedi...

Yes Walter, we followed your advise. After gas and food we crossed the river. We wanted to start the next day dry. The first little bit was OK, but a bit rocky below the surface. http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx46/EtronX/Trans%20Sibir%20eXpedition%202012/4%20Trans%20Sibir%20to%20Kyubyueme/Trans...

We left Khandygan in the morning. The roads were nice, but the scenery a bit dull. This was for us another transport stretch. We got our heads down and twisted the throttles as good as we could. Then we literarily came around a bend and we had the most magnificent mountains ahead of us. http://i740....

We rode out of Yakutsk after saying goodbye to the guys. Along the way there were some nice monuments honoring "The Great Patriotic War". Always great photo opportunities :D http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx46/EtronX/Trans%20Sibir%20eXpedition%202012/3%20Trans%20Sibir%20to%20Khandyga/T...

It was a strange day when we left Walter and Terry in Yakutsk. Their bikes had been loaded on a lorry and sent to Moscow. They would leave soon after. http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx46/EtronX/Trans%20Sibir%20eXpedition%202012/2%20Trans%20Sibir%20Yakutsk/TransSibirYakutsk10_zps74b22d05.jpg We b...

At the next fuel stop I noticed that my front rim had got some new dents in them. I had now been riding slower and more taken it more easy than on the BAM road and it seemed like it were weaker than before. Maybe the heat treatment in Yakutsk had made it even softer than it was. A borrowed a large h...

Kikket på den facebok-linken,men fikk ikke zooma inn. Hvor mange mil kjøring regner du fra Kirkenes til Murmansk? Bor det folk der oppe på de to halvøyene,bunkringsmuligheter etc? Fra Kirkenes til Murmansk er det ikke langt, men planen vår er å surre rundt på grusveier i noen dager. Med ekstratanke...

Tror nok jeg skal bruke XCen. Minus dekkene
