In this post I'm telling you about one of the most beautiful and fun of our trip motorcycling: dirt roads. We found mostly between Kansk and Tulun, in Russia, and between Astana and Kostanay in Kazahstan. About 500 km, of about 19200 of Motrobajkal (if Fabrizio gave good accounts and no exaggeration), were made on unpaved surfaces, including dirt fast on macadam, gravel, grassy steppe, sandysreppe, road filled with potholes water and mud, sand, deep sand and deep gravel, here is a quick overview of the most indicative and dirt and funny Siberian roads we met between Russia and Kazahstan ....
here are the first hints of dirt when the road starts to become plain,
the van UAZ "452" 4x4 on top, of course, not even aware of it
(you cannot even imagine where can go that funny little can )....
... here we are just after Kansk towards Tulun,
perhaps on the more insidious because
the dirt road is full of deep holes
(and you never know how deep) filled with slimy mud ....

... Here is a fine example of gravel section of Highway Transiberan ...
.... the bottom and very smooth (but alwaqys pay attention!!!),and if you have not before a Kamaz raising clouds of dust much,
you can run easyly 70-80 km / h!!
This is a newly excavated a section of road, probably soon be paved, very tricky if the road has not yet been detected compacted and consists of very coarse gravel: the front wheel sinks and the bike swerves dangerously...
... And here you see a nice dirt road early towards Bajkal, and in the distance the dust cloud of a truck ... it's a mythical Kamaz?
Here's Heidi makes a fine show on a simple and gorgeous long dirt road in the kazak steppe!
Dirt roads in town, which creates many problems of mud (if it rains) or powder (if not raining) to the inhabitants ...
Dirt trail along the great blue eye of Siberia.
Fascinating interplay of light sunset clouds of dust into the hills after Tulun, to Kansk ....
The large and fast dirt Kazakh: 80-90 km/h in the middle of the desertish steppe ....
Refueling in a classic petrol station in the middle of the kazak steppe.....
Heidi posing in front of chaming dry salt lakes in the hills south of Kostanay (KZ )....
The expanse of salt in the warm light of the sunset .... magic!
