Don't go looking for sympathy round here, Ivan!

Sam, how about meeting one evening this week and planning something for the weekend? I can give you an escort on your way down to Dhofar. But like, Ivan, I have to be back at work after the weekend.

Send me a PM. Stephan

VFR in Oman?

Is it ok to ride an over loaded sports tourer in Oman, i.e. is there plenty of tarmac going to interesting places?

As I'm currently in Iran and Dubai and Oman seem so close it seems a shame not to visit especially as Jan-Feb seems the best time of year.

Thumbs up

Yes, there is. Check out my web site. And while you are there, why not continue down to Yemen?

Come on over! Maybe I'll ride my overweight K1200 with you for a few miles.

I have been reading your website!! And that is why I asked the question as you seem to be doing loads of off-roading (which is cool for you) but my aging VFR is not so keen on the wobbly stuff preferring the hard black stuff :-)

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

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.
