Ok, so. I've caught you with the odd title. Here's the thing, I'm considering a wee pop around the place.. I did most of Western Europe in Sept/Oct last year.. and now I'm left with 6months to blow. I'm thinking four months working, two travelling.

My route would go through:

England, France, Italy, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Norway..

Can anyone see any real issue with those countries or crossings? and if so, suggest a diversion..

No real aim to see anything, I prefer to see what I come across myself, getting lost..


Many thanks for any, and all advice!

this site you will find useful for boarder crossing information, and just general motorbike touring! Thumbs Up

Not worried about the touring side of things.. Had no issues with my last trip and I threw it all together at 4am on the morning of three weeks off work.. Ended up doing just over 6,000miles.

I'll go digging around that site tomorrow (pub is calling for now), cheers. Hopefully I can find first hand experiences with crossing my chosen borders!

Maybe this link will have been a bit more precise:

Both Libya and Saudi Arabia will be a right bastred getting a forgein bike into. and Egypt requires a 800% value of the bike deposite for the carnet and from what l,ve heard another deposite of 1-2k euros at the border (though this may of been a work around to having a valid carnet).
