I'm on a year long service/missions trip in Asia that will come to an end this July. After that I would love to buy a motorbike in Tajikistan/Kyrgyzstan and make my way to Europe and I'd love to meet up with you on my way.

Do you have any advice for a foreigner buying a bike in Kyrgyzstan, is power of attorney good enough? I'd PM you but I'm new to the forum and need 5 posts first.

Every day with the Lord IS and adventure.

interesting

You are welcome here any time. I have been thinking and trying to work it out to go to your side of the mountains in the next week or so, before you get busy.
What year is your KLR?
Hope to make it over your way and hope you have a great and safe season. If I can help from this side let me know.

Mac

June is a great time to ride here. Mountains will be cool at night and not to hot in the day. Let me know when you will be here and if you will need anything. Enjoy and be safe.

Sounds like an awesome ride. If you can not make it all the way to Mongolia we have stored bikes here before. MuzToo stores bikes in Osh too. Let me know when you get close so we can meet somewhere.

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.
