    in 2006 myself and 2 friends decided upon a 'Long Way Round' style trip, inspired by the Charlie and Ewan. We didn't't have their budget, we didn't have a tv crew, in fact we didn't really have money. We set off from the UK, 2 of us on XT 600's and I was on a newer XTz660. our route was not dissimilar to yours until we got to Mongolia. I and a friend ran out of money, though the 3rd chap by chance met another English guy and they both continued on the Road of Bones through to Magadan and then to USA.
    Overall, my most memorable occasions were the ones when were were in trouble. ALWAYS someone came to our assistance. If it were a push, if it were a spanner, if it were welding, if it were a bed for the night and a drink together.
    We found, the less people have, the more they are inclined to share it with you. Often we found ourselves in a spot of bother (even a similar in Ukraine to your russian visa problem (100 Bucks made it go away to the right person)) but it was a life changing experience. If you are thinking of doing something similar, DO IT. Life is short, life is uncertain and life is for living. LIVE IT!

      Sounds wonderful. My first time back packing the Philippines I stayed at a village and the family I arranged to stay with had breakfast cooked for us. We hiked around the base of the Mayon volcano, came back down for lunch and they claimed they had nothing.
      Turned out they fed us the last of their food. Long story short you are right, the more poor people are the more they want to help.

After a very bad food poisining in Kashgar my travel partner and me had to go back to Bishkek for a new chinese visa and spent four months there in KGZ...... the most impression experience was the very amazing kindness and hospitality of the people on the whole trip. my next adventure will be the Panamericana from Anchorage to Ushuaia, but then by motobike.. stay safe and healthy and enjoy your life !

My longest tour was 2000km, the only issue I had was that I ran out of fuel (500m before the gas station and it was totally my fault, the range is fine). The fuel gauge is a bit pessimistic xD
      The only other things I did (except the regular maintenance at 12k and 24k)was change the tires, replace the fork seals at 18k km and change the chain at 22k (it was already in bad shape when I bought it)

    Another thing I keep seeing is how "kind" people are. Isn't it odd how we typically judge an entire people based on their government? I think we can all find a common theme here as far as where most of our problems come from. It isn't the people as much as it is their gov'ts.

    Great to watch. I did a similar trip, from Australia towards Europe (but via Pakistan) 30 years ago. Was inspired by some Aussies who did it before me. Didn't make it completely on my own wheels, due to mishap and errors. But, what an adventure. Enjoyed this video, for the honest adventuring, and the appreciation of local culture, and memories. Its a difficult awesome ride.
