I did not know anything about the roads in Belarus und further to Moscow. So I started very early only after about 5 hours of sleep. I thought I knew it better than everybody else.īut suddenly we came to a Hotel which looked like a prison, but it actually was a hotel and I got a room for the night.īecause I did not have mucht time, I wanted to get to Krasnojarsk as fast as possible. Everybody told me this will happen- but I did not listen. 10 minutes abroad and I get raped by 3 guys, fucked in the ass, killed and get robbed afterwords" (order may vary). We got out of town and were driving somewhere out to the woods. I did not understand much, but I had to "high five" at least every minute. 3 guys were in the Van and waved at me and showed "thumbs up". I stopped at a traffic light and a small van came up. Streets were dark and there was not a person on the road. Well then - I was in Belarus, it was 2 o´clock in the morning and I did not have a clue where to go, so I went to the next city (Brest). And by the way, even if it was a lot of stamps and insurances. Overall it costs me around 7 Euro And it took me just about 2 hours. NOW I´m in Belarus I think I paid money about 20 times to any office chick. And then - I´m in? Yes!!! NO!! Give back half of the papers I stamped. Then get to the customs and get another stamp and pay. Get to the guy at the boarder again with all the stamps and papers and then get to another window to show them your papers. Pay insurance for bike, pay another insurance for medical whatever, get a stamp for whatafuck, pay for that stamp, get back to get a stamp that you paid for dontknowwhat. A stamp here, an insurance there, pay insurance at another counter. Again no complains from anybody waiting in line. Nobody complained when I passed all the cars and so I got out of Poland within only 10 Minutes. So I thought gettin in line now would be better than stay in Poland overnight and stay in line the next day. There was a lot of traffic and people told me before to expect up to 10 hours waiting time to cross the border. I arrived at the border at around midnight after 900 km of riding. My plan was getting to Poland to the border between Poland and Belarus. I left Vienna on the 29th of July at 10:00 am. Route: Basicly the shortest way from Vienna to Magadan which took me EXACTLY 13.000 km + 100 meters Rider: just me (and those weird voices in my brain appearing from time to time) + a few nice guys I met during the tripīike: an old worn out BMW 650 Dakar which I bought just for that trip with 135.000 km on it when I bought it for not much money So you can judge within a few minutes if this will be an interesting one for you or not.īut before you just skip this report - beware - I will disclose the well hidden secret why adventure travellers all over the world are buying BMW´s for their adventure rides. So for the start of the story, here is a short appetizer. #XDREAM HOTEL ATHENS PLUS#So I thought I will give something back and write down my story plus a few notes aboout stuff I was not able to find out upfront. I did not really ask for help, just the information that is on the forum helped so much. But guess what - I don´t careīefore I went on my trip, I read many ride reports that helped me planning my trip and my route. I have not really planned to do so, because I did not know any of you guys and you don´t know me either. Well this is the start of my first ride report on the ADVrider Forum.
