Мотоавантюра Ирбит-Салехард
Х
Хан Югры (он же <ShiManO>)
я их встретил ночью, с 14 на15 февраля уже в Междуречье.
Заехал на заправку перед зимником, и тут они подкатывают. На улице -35, на трассе наверное все -40. Я сперва подумал местные сумасшедшие, потом смотрю номера на мотах 66 регион и болтают на инглише. Реально, люди без страха и тормозов, пускаться в такую авантюру на мотах, но веселые и позитивные. Американец Крис с Кэти и немецкая пара, видимо подарок на день влюбленных.
Пожелаем им успеха и везения
п.с.: оказывается никакой не подарок на праздник, просто часть осталась в Мортке на ремонте, а эти поехали дальше.

Ни как не могу разобраться в этом сайте

Кроме кто где? ничего не понимаю.
Вот это сейчас пишут?
So that told them. This footage from Karan Suri, Motorcycle Diaries, who has thoroughly enjoyed all manner of Russian hospitality this far, and enjoyed speaking with Russian mechanics on the phone, despite no shared language.
Karan has remained in Uray awaiting the arrival of the rear guard, Dylan and Dalbs of team Up to Snow Good, who have had perhaps the most dramatic bailout in Ice Run history, when their bike actually burst into flames. Some failed wiring close to the fuel lines melted and set their fuel hose alight, and it's frankly a miracle that the whole thing didn't go up in smoke. Lucky that priest blessed them at the launch....in a rather ingenious piece of will-not-be-defeatism, they put both their bike, and the remains of Russ and Fredda's bike, on a truck and hitched a lift to Uray, where they will be cannibalising two bikes to make what we hope will be once rideable one, on Monday. Here's them enjoying their ride to Uray.
A slightly smoked Dalbs and Dylan make it to Uray...by hook or by crook
Oznog Racing/Boris & Natasha
Meanwhile Chris Plough, Kate deWald and Boris Berkovich have enjoyed a relatively smooth passage these last couple of days. What looked like a total electrical failure on Chris's bike turned out to be a case of not turning the ignition on. And then he lost his keys...
Homer's Odyssey
Meanwhile, somewhere way out west, Kabir Late is on a sticky wicket. After a glorious day's riding on Friday, his crank shaft packed up, despite plenty of oil top ups to date (these bikes do seem to be rather thirsty), and his gearbox too. He's currently using all his haggling skills to get repairs underway and back on the road, or truck the bike forward to a better pit lane. One way or another he's getting to Salekhard, resolutely.
So there you have it; the bikes are living up to their reputation for being buttock-clenchingly unreliable. Then again, you don't see anyone else trying to ride them 2000kms over ice in -30 or less. The now well-established chorus of "you guys are bat-@!#$ crazy" is drowned out only by the noisy welcome and insistence that the teams come in from the cold, toast them at their wedding or birthday party, and pose in their photos.
Meanwhile, in Salekhard, things are as silent and eerily serene as ever. A very strange contrast.

Доехали далеко не все.
Один сломал ногу, вертолетом эвакуирован в Ханты.
Индиец долго сидел в Н Тагиле, а за Серовом у него стуканул двигатель.
Пару мотиков на трассе томознули ГПДД, было за -40, доехали фурами.
Но все живы. Уже улетели с Салехарда самолетом.
Подробности позже.
