Enjoy, make sure all your carnets and visas are sorted well before you go or you will be in for some interesting border crossings.

Might be advisable to be a Russian speaker.
Avoid the Ukraine (probably a given as Moscow is further North).
Maybe find a travel companion.
Maybe chat to the UK Embassy/Foreign Office dropping your route and expected timetable into them.

Are you planning on leaving your bike out there or flying it home?

It's a solar panelled battery charger. About £30 on Amazon. Just a thought. Ps. Best of luck |
