Hi Ozhan,

It doesn't seem that I can go for a M/C ride outside TR for somehow. I will contact whenever I need info about. Thanks for that.

Nice to hear you leave on May for your trip. Hope you complete it safe and sound.

Cheers,

Sami

and the answer is, if you are heading west from turkey, you have take either greece or bulgaria border and both are member of eu and you have to have green card. briefly, for any eu country you need green card.
you also need carne de passage (called triptik in Turkey) for leaving the country with any kind of Turkish registered vehicle/bike. costs 30 tl (24 euro) from Turkish touring federation.

i have almost finished my preparations for morocco trip and will hit to the road on mid-May. hope to see you on the road!!

enjoy!

I just got an email reply from ARISA Assurances S.A. I wrote to them over a week ago. This is the company does the "Cheap Green Card Insurance". But my 2 week border coverage was up, and I had to do something.

According to ARISA Assurances, the prices are indeed very reasonable - 22 Euro a month. So !

And Spitfire - I was in Africa. Sent my Mac home in early 2008 - didn't think it could handle Africa. The problem with proprietary software/platforms. Should have gone with Google apps.

This sounds like Albania!

Sometimes a thinly-veiled streak of genocidal fascism is evident, with roots going back centuries, making it easy to see how this civilized country descended so abruptly into war and chaos. This glimpse alone was worth the price of admission; the fact that I over-paid for an essentially worthless piece of paper at the border hardly matters in the end.

Mileages vary.

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.
