Istanbul
I'm in Turkey now but without my bike. I've just been to the Gallipoli sites and it's a credit to the wonderful people of this country. I hope to meet with Mehmet over the next few days to see what we can do to keep this concept on track.

Great to see you are in Turkey.
Am in İstanbul until July 20/25 waiting for the İstanbul visit of the daughter of my Australian biker friend, Mrs.Helen..
Afterwards will be at Şevketiye village for summer holiday and fishing until end of september..
Hope you have visited Kolin Hotel,Australian Consulate in Çanakkale, 18.March.University Campus,Çanakkale Bikers Club, şevketiye village and camping area - football ground by the seaside cafe..
It is definitely impossible to make long term official plannings in Turkey...
Even 18.mart.campus is unable to give prices for 2015 and the website is still has no english version..(been discussed and accepted 3 months ago.
-all mails kept)
Dardanos Yerleşkesi & Dardanos Resort Otel adresine hoşgeldiniz. | Dardanos Yerleşkesi & Dardanos Resort Otel
Probably both elections will be held in 2014 autumn so will have enough time for updating the program of 2015-April 20-26 in hour by hour schedule and finishing preparations.Will be in the area in 2015-January for finalising the project.
No matter how it goes officially, always used to have plan B. here if it is your target...
Please inform me where to meet you when you are in İstanbul and anything I can do for your purpose of the visit.
All the best.

Anyway, I'm at the Best Western + President Hotel in Tiyatro Caddesi 25 Beyazit until 17th.
Regards
Robin
""""""""""""""""""""""""
3 days ago sent you message via HUB. to meet on 15.july.7 pm..
Even no facebook or HUB message until 3 hours before the meeting time,
made 60 km. 2 hours in the evening to visit you at the hotel as told at 7 pm..Was there between 6,45 and 7,15 pm to meet you and dine out but unfortunately been told by the reception that noone is staying in the hotel named Robin.

So surprised as a return for my sincerety and honesty.
Anyway wish you all the best for life...

Mixed signals
I have sent Mehmet several PM's and now an email. I tried without success to make positive contact to arrange an agreed meeting time. Unfortunately our messages to each other got terribly mixed. I was here at the hotel when Mehmet visited but had no idea that he was here he only had my first name and of course the hotel reservation is under my family name so they told him that they had no person called Robin here. Can't really understand that as they took a copy of my passport and it has my full name.
Again my apologies Mehmet.

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.
