Thank you guys ! Unfortunately, if I go to Magadan on August then I won't be able to go to south Himalaya before winter. I believe July is a good compromise. Roads will be all right, won't they ? Another question I have is about tires and other maintenance parts availability. I believe there's no problem in Moscow, but will I be able to buy new tires (mixed road/offroad like Motoz Tractionator Rallz, Continental TKC80...), oil/air filters and chain/sprocket kits in cities like Omsk, Novossibirsk, Krasnoïarsk, Irkoutsk or even Iakoutsk or Magadan ? Will I have to order them before ? If you have any other advice, please do not hesitate. Thanks again in advance for your help.

Привет everyone, I'm 42 and I live in France. I bought a '96 600 Transalp and it seems I need a motorcycle license ( ) so I'm about to start driving lessons on monday. If I'm good enough I should get the license on beginning of may. My goal is to travel. One of my first destinations will be Russia, on june if everything goes well. I came to Moscow some years ago, I enjoyed it so much I'd like to visit other places of Russian Federation (even if I know Moscow "is not really like Russia" as we usually say), entering by Finland border up to Moscow then I hope to be able to reach Magadan on july (...2023, if possible ), then maybe go back to Europe through Central Asia (Altaï, *stan, maybe a detour to India/Nepal if timimg is ok, Iran, Turkey...). Caucasus and Crimea will be for next year, I hope ! I still have many things to plan : the precise route, get a tourist voucher, Visa, learn a bit of russian language, etc. Here are some "quick" pictures of the Transalp, '1996, PD06A, 40'000km. 2-3 things to fix but I got it for a quite good price. I've planed some modifications : bigger tank and front fork from Africa Twin, better rear shock, safety stuff and luggage... http://transalp-club.ru/uploads/inline/10647/6439a615205e4_recadree2.png http://transalp-club.ru/uploads/inline/10647/6439a609ab9ce_recadree.png If you have any question or suggestion, do not hesitate.
