I would buy one. But, PAL could be handled on the computer, I guess.

That was a impressive map Walter.
Do you know how many km you have ride total on your trips?

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and interest in the trip.
Reading the last part of the RR was a great way to enjoy an adventure ride but without the wet socks

The beautiful pictures and great story telling makes me want to ride those tracks too.

Thanks Geir, Steve and Erik

I will thank the rest of the crew in person if I didn't do that already

A special thanks to Terry for driving Beamster's bike back to Holland last October.
I really enjoyed your company.

We took the bikes for a short test ride after they had been parked in Moscow for almost 3 months.

Would you consider sharing the Google Earth file of this? It looks fascinating.

Great. So much for getting work done in the evening.

Another RR to read.

It was really nice to read you as you reported this ride soooo well!

Thanks for sharing, for the hours riding, for the pics and for all the effort put in writting all this in front of your computers!

Greetings and a lot of thanks to the Sibirsky extreme crew!

Hey Walter, so you've done a little mileage then!

What's the approximate total distance and trip days all those lovely colours have consumed?

A big thank you and your companions for the best ride report I have read yet.
I have followed most of your previous reports for the last 4 years and finally ventured to Russia last summer but quickly realised to get full value I would need to learn some Russian or at least have a companion who was fluent.
Any advice on the easiest way to learn some Russian anyone

Walter did recommend some learning CDs (or was it DVDs) in one of his Sibirsky RR threads.

There's also a growing number of native teachers doing pretty decent lessons over Skype. That way it is personal, and you can get the amount and content tuned to what you need, also usually not that expensive. I know at least one girl who did that, with relevant linguistic degree and all, her students seemed to be happy. Not sure if she's still in business, but if you are interested, PM me, I can find out and let you know. Others like that should probably be easily googlable.

You could try the Michel Thomas audio course. Its MP3 based so can be loaded to your phone/Mp3 player. I think I got mine off ebay quite cheaply (pirate?

Agree with Mike above. I have the CD version of Michel Thomas.. I just wish I'd spend a little more time with it.

Full Title is " Michel Thomas Method, Russian Foundation Course . Comes in 8x CDs and a wee booklet and you'll dig it up on Ebay.

I managed without any language to speak of-but not without difficulty and some toe-curlingly embarrasing situations. Next time ( there WILL indeed be a next time) I'll have done my homework as it will immeasurably enhance the experience.
