Exclamation

Carefull: you are on a German reg'd bike, aren't you? Apparently, Lars (lars at ontheroad.de) was the last one to be able to drive in S. Korea, because the German govt. hasn't signed a certain intl' road convention and so they won't let any more German reg'd vehicles be driven in their country.

You will need to verify this situation elsewhere...

Good luck,
Peter.

Hallo - Hello Fred

Fred...

lass mich bitte wissen, wann Du im Land-der-nicht-immer-aufgehenden-Sonne (Japan)
sein wirst. Unter Umstaenden kann ich Dir mit ein paar "Dingen" helfen!!

Let me know when you will arrive in "the-land-of-the-not-always-rising-sun. I can probably
help you with a couple of "things"!!

Safe riding
Klaus

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.
