Central Asia 2013 - Only Pictures

For years, I read this forum and I've got information that are useful to me.
I think it's time to contribute.

I can not write a real report just because I have neither the time nor the ability nor a pretty good English.

I will confine myself to the photos, and answer questions that you may ask me.

The DR next to my Dominator is one of Sambor's: I don't know if it's the same in your pictures but it's possible.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
