Solo Motorcycle Adventure on the Trans-Siberian Highway. Russia. EP 2.
1 Video View·May 7, 2025
Russia was the second country I visited. In May 2017 I arrived in Vladivostok on the ferry from South Korea and rode along the Trans-Siberian Highway to Lake Baikal. Far East Russia and Siberia is a truly remote part of the world but it's got an incredibly helpful riding community. There are “Bike Posts' (clubs, garages or private houses) every 500-800km where you can stop for the night. In this little video I wanted to show you how I traversed the vastness of Siberia and how kind and generous the locals are.
🎶
We made it!
Here she is!
Hello, Chili!
🎶
So I finally received my jacket, pants and boots
I was waiting for that moment for a long time
It's been three weeks since I've been
Since I've left Australia and I've been riding with no gear
Or with borrowed gear
But anyway, it's here
So tomorrow I'll be leaving Vladivostok
It's been two days since I left Vladivostok
I only done 1500 kilometers
And I can't go any further
Because 200 kilometers from here
This little village, Svobodnoye
Started to snow
Hooray!
Russian bike!
British and Russian banya
It's like a sauna
Oh, it's cold
It's 9th of May
A big celebration in Russia
День победы
It's the day that Russians celebrate the victory
In Second World War
🎶
And my hair has gone ridiculous
So I booked myself in
In the beauty salon
Five hours later
This is it
This is the famous Lake Baikal
Apparently it's very cool
