Um...er... maybe some waterproofing and a set of pontoons. Oh yes, fresh water to drink and a couple of oars.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

Alan Kelly rode his Tiger across Europe, Russia and the US.
He may be able to assist.

I have no clue, but ambitious trip! Good luck.

Maybe you'd like to share some bits and pieces as it comes together. You may even be able to hook up with folk as you go

Hi KCB,

Sounds like an adventure and a half - good luck, hope it all works out

I rode in Eastern Europe this year and the eastern European border guards took the p1ss. I was at the Ukrainian, Serbian and Romanian borders for hours while they went through me, the bike, the panniers and every bit of paperwork they could think of.

The thought of having to be at a certain port on a certain day to catch a boat that might not be there due to weather, etc

Stating the obvious, but you are going to have to think so far ahead for every eventuality.

I'd love to know more about the trip and the route, so if you have some time, fill us in.
