Very nice pictures, and a lot of them.
Fantastic trip

It is nice to have such a great trip report from Russia and for you to share your trip with us. The Super Tenere looks perfect for where you are and go to.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain


btw - Your translations are very clear. Well done.

. . . . The Super Tenere looks perfect for where you are and go to. . . .

Funny you should say that. In some of those pictures, I swear the bikes looked happy. Yeah, I know, I'm a little differn't.

Ваши переводы очень

This is great)) And it seems to me that everything is not clear))

 

[Ss1]

многие из наших людей остро нуждаются в них по этим причинам.

Yes! This is the most terrible force and so is the situation in every country! Politics does its job.

We continue)) The fifth and last day in the Pamirs could not but please with its beautiful morning. The sun was shining so that it burned out the eyes)) But there was one negative moment. Tener would not start. By the way, this was the second time for the entire trip. But the Chinese came to the rescue))) They also traveled, but already in cars. We lit our motorcycle and moved on. Ahead of us were waiting for two more passes, the highest Ak-Baital 4655m and Sary-Tash, 4300m high, where the border guard post of Tajikistan was located.

After passing another couple of hundred km, high-mountainous Karakul lake, we got to our point. There was no joy. After all, this is my second time here.

 

[Ss1]

Another funny thing is eating, you can visit China, which also borders on Tajikistan))

 

[Ss1]

At the border, we met motorcycle tourists from the Philippines.

 

[Sierra1]

That is some desolate country. Oddly beautiful.

That is some desolate country. Oddly beautiful.

At an altitude of over 3 km, no one really lives))) And over 3 km, there is no one at all, not even animals, except for gophers. After all, we drove for two days at an altitude of over 3 km))

Границу переходили быстро, то ли со стороны таджиков, то ли с Киргизии. С перевала Кызыл-Арт крутой спуск, а сама дорога глиняная. И не дай бог, если пойдет дождь. На этот раз я не стал фотографировать с перевала. Кыргызстан - страна гор и зелени, лошадей и овец)) Приехали в город Ош, где нас уже ждал друг.

Unfortunately, this time it was not possible to ride in Kyrgyzstan. There was snow in the mountains. The season is over. The most time here is from June to August. Since the matter was going towards the end of September and it was decided to go towards the house. After all, we had to go oh how long. We left Osh in the direction of the capital Bishkek. On the way, a picturesque pass was waiting for us.

We left Bishkek as usual in the morning towards Kazakhstan. We reached the border. This time the border was passed for a long time and it almost came to a fight)) We drove across Kazakhstan for 2 days. East Kazakhstan induces depression and I don't really want to take pictures here, but I will post a couple of photos.

 

[Ss1]

And finally the border with Russia. Our journey across Central Asia is over! It's sad ((But the Altai mountains were ahead of us. No less beautiful and large-scale. It was already October. It was already late for Altai and Russia in general, especially in Siberia. But will it stop us?))) 3 days. We stopped by another friend in the city of Biysk, to fix it.
