Our overall plan is to head west from Canada across Asia and then down through Africa. The journey will start by crating the bikes and flying them to Seoul, Korea. The main part of the first leg begins with a ride on the Dong Chun ferry from Sok Cho, Korea to Zarubino, Russia. From there it's a long haul along a route that follows the Trans Siberian railway and then heads South across the Ukraine and into Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria.

 

Leg two will take us south through Turkey, Syria, Jordan and into Egypt..

 

From there it's the long leg home to Cape Town through Wadi Halfa, Khartoum, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Lusaka, Gaborone, and Johannesburg.

 

Of course this plan is well open to changes as we get into the journey.
