Re: Burma anyone
Well the information online regarding restricted areas is a little ambiguous. It's clear that the the North and North Eastern border areas are pretty volatile (mostly due to internal conflict) and advice from various organisations / agencies appears contradictory. It would seem that Richard's route cannot be completed by road entirley, however, I would opine that this situation may change over time. There are train and/or boat services but it might not be possible to take a bike onto these forms of transport. I am certainly going to look into doing it sometime in late Nov or Dec and will update as apposite.

Re: Burma anyone
as i told ya, rules and where u can go changes daily, ( if there is fighting) . how did you travel when u went in August?
we went to Namsham easily an 2 days before we went some guys were turned back
we got into Mogok thru the back way which is 100% closed area for bikes, but we had trouble finding anywhere that would allow us to stay the night as we did not have advance permission and we were stopped when we left the area how we got there.
here is a map 2012
red was no go, green is good, yellow need Burma license
I have asked my contact if its possible
If it cant be done by bike it can be done by boats.trains,bus's
IF you go let me know where an who u got ur bike from, if its not Zach
Once you plan on getting off the main route of Yangoon-Mandalay-Bagan Inle you will find that you wont know if u can until u decide to go.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
