I can highly recommend Bora´s service.
Bought a tire from him four years ago.
This time I ordered two sets of tires in advance coming from Pakistan/Iran, which Bora delivered perfectly in time to Van/Turkey (close to the Iran border).

Very good service + perfect reaction time!

Greetings from Irak

Panny

Tire arrived no problem Thanks Bora! When the payment cards didn't work, he just sent the tire anyways and trusted us to pay. (Luckily my last card worked after all!) Getting new rubber couldn't be easier Turkey-Tyres All Brands-uploadfromtaptalk1405423761725.jpgTurkey-Tyres All Brands-uploadfromtaptalk1405423778550.jpg

Hi Bora

We are in Pakistan right now, and going to Iran soon. After Iran I go to Turkey, and will need some new tires for my bike.
Although I drive a dual purpose bike (Moto Guzzi NTX650) I will be doing mostly asphalt/tarmac from Turkey onwards to the Netherlands.

So I'm looking for some nice new tires that are good on roads, also in the wet!

My tire size are:
front 90/90/21
rear 120/80/18

What do you have in stock, can you recommend any tires?

Thank you,
Tim

Thanks Bora!

I ordered a pair of tires at Bora, they arrived the next day at my hostel in Istanbul! Just put them on my rims myself... I'm ready for a wet Europe

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.
