For the ultimate motorbike adventure, have you considered riding across Siberia? A favourite route for the most intrepid bikers, it’s a path that’s rewarding to pursue. Geographically the route traverses the European and Asian continents and it’s a great way to link the two on any round-the-world motorbike tour.
Locals that you encounter in the villages throughout Russia will be genuinely welcoming, curious about your journey and your home country, and ready and willing to help out with any mechanical knowledge or give advice on that necessary know-how of acquiring spare parts. A word of warning however, even though the roads technically link the vast expanse of the Russian Federation, there’s no such thing as a “Trans-Siberian Highway” as such. The roads in far eastern Russia, particularly around Chita, aren’t the best quality and bikers have to compete with trucks and also the streams of new car convoys being driven overland to inland Russia from Japan and Korea.
Another consideration is learning some Russian before you leave. Although most major rural road signs are written in both Cyrillic and Latin characters, there are also the minor rural road signs and also the streets around major cities to navigate. Take a Russian course London as a precaution before you leave, and you’ll be able to direct yourself wherever you want to go! It also helps immensely in being able to communicate with the locals, and a Chinese course London would also be of assistance if you wish to enter China to visit Harbin.
A popular option is to start your Trans-Siberian bike trip from Scandinavia. Riding up through Denmark, Sweden and Finland is both interesting and enjoyable. It’s also possible to take a Swedish, Finnish or Danish course Nottingham before you leave, but it’s not so necessary as you’ll be able to find many more English speakers than in Russia.
Yet if you think that the Russian or Chinese courses could just prove too challenging, why not take a Danish course Cambridge or Danish course Aberdeen just to get you into the linguistic swing of things?
Bon voyage!
